How to relocate the save game for DAO

The title speaks for itself..

 

Yesterday I lost the whole day testing mods from this site. Atm I have around 10 Gb of data stored inside my "AddIns" and "Override" in drive "C:/". And I really don't like that because my game is located in drive "D:/". I want only the save games to be in "C:/". Or if possible I do not want anything to be stored there related to Dragon Age: Origins..

 

 

So .. How I can do that ? Is there a way to relocate my "BioWare/Dragon Age" folder from drive C:/ to drive D:/ ? Of course I can move it, but also I need some kind of a tool which will force the DAO game to load all content from the new location and don't look for them inside drive C:/

I'm not 100% sure, but IIRC the only time you have the option of setting the location of your saved games is during installation.

 

That step creates the whole "\BioWare\Dragon Age" collection of folders that contain charcters (saves), addins (DLC) and a bunch of other ones that may-or-may-not matter, depending on what else you do.

 

If you're running Vista or Win7, you can relocate your entire "\My Documents" folder easily and use a symbolic link (Win7 calls them "Libraries") to allow applications to reach the new location as if it were still on "C:". I'm pretty sure you could also create such a link that would redirect calls to just "\BioWare\Dragon Age", but I've never tried that.
