How do I change the local save file location?

The cleanest, surest, way to do this is by performing a complete un-/re-install (having backed-up your "\Characters" folder first, of course. 😕mileytongue: ) 

During the installation you can choose a specific location for saves.

But if you don't want to do that, then this article might help: "Moving a Steam Installation and Game":

All right I'll give it a shot. 

So I just uninstalled the game and began re-installing it through Steam. It didn't ask me where I wanted my save files, it only asked me where I wanted to store the game. 

When I first installed it the game was indeed located in my D: drive (just as I specified), but my save files were located in my C: drive and I'm not sure that's going to change just by re-installing it. I'll let you know once the installation process finishes.

Nope, didn't work.

Main game can still be found in my SteamApps, but my characters, save files, and addons are still stored in my documents on my C: Drive.

This is the post I was trying to follow but I couldn't manage it:

Does anyone else know how to do this?
