Where Are Dragon Age: Origins Saves Located?
Dragon Age Origins BioWare Documents tree with per-character save folders on PC.
Last updated
Dragon Age: Origins saves under Documents in the BioWare tree, one Characters subfolder per warden with numbered slots inside. Screenshots and the add-in wiki cache sit nearby.
Each character folder is self-contained, so pruning old wardens is just deleting a folder. Keep the whole Dragon Age tree for settings plus saves.
Where Dragon Age: Origins stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Characters
Each warden gets a folder of numbered save slots. Settings live in DragonAge.ini one level up. Copy the Characters folder with the game closed. Dragon Age II and Inquisition use sibling folders, not shared ones.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Dragon Age: Origins saves?
Copy the Characters folder from Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age. Restore by pasting it back before launching.
Can I move one warden to another PC?
Yes. Copy just that character's folder into Characters on the new machine. The game picks it up without touching other wardens.
