How to start over and create a new character in Dead Island 2? Where to start a new game and keep the previous save in Dead Island 2? Over the past few days, perhaps one or two players from the new zombie shredder from Deep Silver, who has created the first character and would now like to change the “butcher”, will be dealing with these questions. There are six different characters in the game, differing in both attributes and abilities. In this short guide we will show you how to start over and start a new game in Dead Island 2.
Start new game in Dead Island 2
If you are not satisfied with the chosen character in Dead Island 2 and would like to start over again, you can simply create a second saved game by selecting the “Butcher” menu item in the main menu. Under the “Butcher” menu item you will find six butcher slots that you can use to create six saved games. You don’t have to delete the previously created character, you can simply set a new butcher and start the game again. Importantly, you cannot transfer story progress, items you’ve found and crafted, or other weapons from one character to another.
You can also use the “Butcher” menu to delete characters or butchers that have already been created. To do this, select the character and press the F2 button (PC version), triangle button (PlayStation) or the Y button (Xbox).
Tip: In Dead Island 2, weapons have a limited durability. However, the broken weapons can be repaired at the workbench and thus continue to be used.

Add new PS5 accounts
If you want to create a new account on your PlayStation 5, select the option ‘Add User’. You can find this option in several ways:
Via the ‘User’ selection screen when you start the console
The ‘Switch User’ option in the basic screen
Via the Control Center that you can see by pressing the PS button
The ‘Users and Accounts’ submenu the settings
However you get to this option, you will always end up with the same screen with three options:
Get Started – create a new permanent PS5 account
Sign In and Play – you can temporarily log into your PlayStation Network account on this console
Quick Play – anonymous temporary account
If you want to create a new, permanent account on your PlayStation 5, choose the option ‘Get Started.’
You will then be given the choice to log in to an existing PlayStation Network account, create a new one, or use the PSApp to log in to your account via a QR code or create an offline account.
If you want to use your previous account, log in to the PS5. Now you still have to arrange a few things, including Data Collection.
If you create a new account, you can also create a new username.
Via an offline account you can choose an icon and username, so that you can enjoy your PS5 even without an internet connection.
These instructions allow you to create an account for your child, with the only difference that you will need to visit the ‘Family and Parental Controls’ submenu in the settings to activate settings.
Switch PS5 users
There are two ways to switch accounts while playing on your PlayStation 5.
First and foremost, you can go to the home screen and go to the ‘Users’ option in the top right corner. Normally you will now see your username.
Click on it and a submenu will open with a few options including ‘Switch User.’
Selecting ‘Switch User’ will open a new menu with all users who currently have an account on this PS5.
You can choose which user you want to play as and thus gain access to all files (including save files) that the account in question has on this console. Certain parts of the account may require you to enter a password.
The second way to switch users is to press the PS button to activate the Control Center and select the User option.
Then you follow the same steps as above
Adding PS5 guests and Quick Play on PS5 explained
There are two ways to add a guest account to your PS5. Either you let someone log in temporarily via their own PlayStation Network account on your console, or a temporary guest account is created on your PS5 via Quick Play.
These options instantly delete any data created on your console during their playing time, so you don’t have to worry about impact on your storage capacity.
You can find both options by selecting the ‘Add User’ option, which can be found in several ways:
Via the selection screen that appears when you activate the console
Via the ‘Switch User’ option on the basic screen
Via the Control Center that you activate via the PS button
The ‘Users and Accounts’ submenu in the console settings
However you get there, after selecting ‘Add User’ you can choose from either ‘Sign In and Play’ or ‘Quick Play.’
If you choose ‘Sign In and Play’, you can log in to your PlayStation Network account and use the console as if it were yours. All your data is also stored.
If you select ‘Quick Play’, the console will automatically create a guest account that has access to all games and features downloaded to this console. If you have the physical version of the PS5, you can also play any physical disc.
The guest account will automatically disappear when you select a new user or switch off the PS5.
Remove PS5 users
To delete a user from your PS5, you must first go to the console settings. You can find it by going to the top right corner of the basic screen.
Then scroll to ‘Users and Accounts’ and select the option ‘Users.’
This will show you a list of all the accounts present on or linked to your PS5.
Now go to the account you want to delete and an icon with a trash can will appear. Select this.
Before removing it, the console will ask if you want to remove this user from the PS5.
If you confirm, the account will be deleted along with any saved data that may have been on the console.

Anyone who has already spent an hour or two in the world of the new Sons of the Forest will certainly have built one or the other base. After you have built the shelter and protected it from enemies with defensive walls and traps, you can start decorating it and you can build paths out of sticks or stones, among other things. For example, you can build one of the paths with a rock path and thus beautify the base a little. If you have built a rock path and laid the stones on the ground, then sooner or later the question arises, how can you remove the stones again? Is it no longer possible to delete the rock path or do you need a special tool here?
Remove rock path from stones again?
While you can easily destroy and remove the stick path with the axe, there is still no way to remove the rock path, at least in the current version of Sons of the Forest. The laid stones cannot be picked up or removed with tools such as an ax or a shovel. The stones cannot be removed from the ground using the C key either.
The “problem” seems to have already been discovered by some players, at least if you look at the Reddit and Steam forum threads about it, so hopefully it will only be a matter of time before the developers fix this and create a way to fix it can remove and rebuild the rock path again. Until then you have to live with the wrongly placed stones. Anyone who has found a trick to remove the stone path is welcome to share their knowledge here in the comments section. As soon as there is news here, we will of course add it here.
Tip: With this wood glitch you get infinite logs in Sons of the Forest.
Before you can embark on the adventure of the new Palia, you must first create a character. The character creation is quite extensive and you can make numerous changes to the appearance in the editor. At the end you have to give the character a name and the adventure can begin. If you have already spent an hour or two in the world of Palia, you may ask yourself how can you delete the character? The question often arises when you are no longer satisfied with the name or the appearance of the character. But is it even possible to create a new second character in Palia and start all over again?
New char: create second character in Palia?
The short answer is, at least for the current version, no, unfortunately you cannot delete the character in Palia at the moment. It is also not yet possible to create a second character, since there is currently only one character slot available per account. So the only thing you can do is create another account. If you are no longer satisfied with your character in Palia, you may not have to create a new account at all, because you can also change the character’s appearance in the wardrobe. To do this, simply go to the dressing room and interact with the wardrobe in your own four walls and, in addition to outfits, you can also change your appearance.
Name cannot be changed
The only thing that you can’t change later in Palia right now is the name. Since Palia is currently still in the open beta and some changes will certainly follow in the future, it will probably only be a matter of time before you can delete a character in Palia or create another char. As soon as there is new information about this, we will update this article.
