The thing with the texture I don't think is a problem... but the others? Like "New Hairstyles" or it was called "More Hairstyles" don't remember...
Oh yes, and the saves of my characters? Do I have to only backup the "characters" folder that is in C:\\Users\\Alfonso\\Documents\\BioWare\\Dragon Age\\Characters
?

I think I'm going to format my laptop, now what do I have to backup to not lose anything? I've like only 2 unofficial mods installed from Nexus and some textures that I have put in the "Override" folder.

Extra question: The same goes for Mass Effect?

In any event, this thread: http://social.biowar.../9/index/197026 has some good answers.

Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/ directory
Dropped it back in on the fresh install, and worked without a hitch

I just recently reformatted my PC, and all I kept was my Characters folder in the:
Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/ directory

For DA:O: yes, I would do the same thing should I need to reinstall vista. All your DLC files and character files are in your documents directory, so no problems should arise.
For ME: no idea, I'd grab the folder in the documents directory obviously, but as for the DLCs, make sure you still have the installers and codes for them just in case.
