Cant find folder with saves in my Dragon Age folder

Right now my game is bugged to the point I cant get trought certain part of the story, I hope it was some issues with mods but I want to reinstall the game, Im afraid I will lose all my progress so I checked on some old forums about this topic but only answers reffers to some "Characters" folder that I dont have in my /DragonAge folder

    You posted screenshots of your game folder, the saves are not in the game folder but, as said, in your Documents folder.

    "C:\Users\>your username<\Documents....."

    The Standard save folder for DAO is "C:\Users\>your username<\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Characters\" respectively "C:\Users\>your username<\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age 2\Characters\" for DA2

    (I don't know which of the 2 games you're talking about).

  • As i mentioned i dont see characters folder, Im playing origins rn. In post I pasted screenshot of my folders inside of /Dragon Age

  • Maybe u also know an answer to my next issue, I reinstalled the game and started awakening DLC. Im playing in polish language with polish subtitles and polish audio, all subtitles and audio works fine, but skills and items are named and described in english. Im sure its translated to my language, it worked fine till I first time left the game and the came back later to previously saved game. After that my items and skills changed to english language.

    @ZdupyDoUst123 It happens from time to time. A good way to check on these issues would be the following depending on what you play through

    • EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
    • Repair/Verify your game based on which client you are launching from
    • EA App - Repair (My Collection > Tile Dots > Repair)

    Also, removing just the add-ons and then repairing the game and reinstalling those add-ons can resolve that.

    EA App - C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\addins
    Delete them all, or just the one you are using

    Steam - C:\Users\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age is normally located here, but you do the same as above.

    Try to repair the game.

    (Origin: Game Library > Right-click the game cover > Repair)

    (EA app: My Collection > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)
    (Steam: Game Library > Right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)

  • Repairing seems to bring no effect, items and skills are still in english.

  • Files once deleted doesnt seem to be recovered by repair function. I need to take them back from bin manually in order to have them again in folder.
