Is there any way to disable the screenshots that are created when you save your game.  Or maybe a way to redirect where the games are saved?  Or save the screenshots in a compressed format?  I'm Currently running extremely low on disk space now and I just realized Dragon Age is saving 10 MB .DDS screenshots for every save.  After over two full plays, I have over 2.5 gig of save game data and only about 2 gig left of free space.

My games are installed on a 1TB drive.  But my OS drive is a smaller, faster 70 gig drive.  I only use that drive for OS related stuff, but a lot of newer games save a lot of data in my documents area instead of inside the game directory.   I'd like to avoid reinstalling everything in my system from scratch just to add a bigger C drive to store saved games.

And 10 mb of save game data with 9.5 mb used just for the 1920x1080 screenshot seems unnecessary to me.  If I play this game through as much as I played the first Dragon Age, I'll easily use more memory to store the saves than the game itself uses.  Which reminds me, I better check to see how much DA origins and Mass Effects are using.

You dont *need* the .dds files to load the game so you can manually delete them all with a search for *.dds.

On that note, I just tried this and my .dds files are 64.1KB so your screenshot settings are super high quality (as you playing on very high settings?)

(update: I have some saves from community members that have .dds files up to 8mb, im guessing its a product of system settings. I'll verify if this is true and see if there is anyway to take lowres shots for these images - the dx9 ones are clearly incredibly small comparativel)
