I decided to make a new character in order to try the storm cloak quest line, then went to hard save it. I see only two save files, one I'd made half an hour earlier on my new character, and one I didn't remember making, right as ulfric steps off the cart. I try to load my old character, but he is nowhere to be found...what happened and is there any way to get him back?

The one that you don't remember saving is a permanent auto save, so that when you want to start a new character you don't have to sit through the intro every time. But as for your saves dissapearing, my guess is your game glitched up, or you accidentally overwrited it.

By the way, it's on ps3

Make sure you are loading and saving to the same source. I know on Xbox you can save to the internal memory, Hard Drive, USB device, and Cloud. Did you start your new character on the same source? Maybe you inserted a usb drive into your PS3 and it defaulted to that?

Now this is just guessing but if you saved on #1 save file (the auto) and started a new game, it would overwriter it to save the new start.
