 I have a second hard drive (E:) that I use for my My Documents files.  But the game saves my game files in C:\\Users\\MYNAME\\Documents\\Bioware\\Dragon Age.  I even uninstalled and re-installed the game, but I didn’t see a place to tell it where to store my games files.  And I checked the Configuration through the main menu and didn’t see anything there.  Is there some way to tell it where to look for (and save) game files instead of just automatically using the folder in C:\\Users\\MYNAME\\Documents?

AFAIK, the game follows the markers that Windows gives to it, so it would seem that Windows itself is confused about where to find the right folder.

Nonsense. The game saves its files to the my documents folder because it requests to do so. The simple reason for this is so that different windows user accounts can use one installation of a program without confusing the game.. It's just about standard practice now.
Not everyone is a boy in a bedroom never sharing his PC.

Your information is growing less usefull by the day.

It's a programming choice and is by design.

Right click on MYNAME\\My Documents and select properties. Go to the Location tab and see where the physical location of the My Documents area is, and see if its the C: drive or the E: drive location.



Dragon Age should be using whatever location Windows is pointing to for My Documents.

Yep, the folders in C:\\Users\\MYNAME (including Documents, Music, Videos, etc) all had their Location value set to the C:\\ drive, even though I had already moved all of the files over to my E: drive (and changed the Location value of the desktop shortcuts).

After I changed the value on the Location tab, it moved my game files over.  I started the game, made a new save, and it was on my E: drive, not my C: drive.

So I guess this was a Windows problem on my part and not a Dragon Age problem.  Thanks!

I changed it to my E:\\ location and it moved all of the file,
