Game requires the "\Characters\saves" folders to be under "\<user's documents>\BioWare\Dragon Age\..."
So the short answer to your issue is: move the folders back.
(The longer answer would be for you to create a Windows "symbolic link" to the new folder location, but if that phrase is unfamiliar I don't recommend trying it.)

@Goafar; I really don't understand. If you installed the game normally, and are playing on a PC, there is literally no way the appropriate folders and files weren't created. Did you change something after installation?

Might help to tell us what kind of install you did: Retail disc? EA/Origin? Steam? GOG? Other?

i installed with Origin download.

luckily I was able to find the folders and previous saved games in my external backup, (backups worth their weight in gold).

Still can’t save though. I might bring out one of my other PCs and use it in legacy mode as it appears that new machines and new operating systems are the death of good old Dragon Age Origin.

Thank you so much for getting back to me, that was very decent.

@Goafar; DAO runs perfectly on a brand new machine. It runs perfectly (although slower) on an old WinXP machine. It runs perfectly on any machine with at least the "recommended" hardware specs. I know, I've played it on every generation from a Pentium with a GT-240, to an i7 with a GTX-1060.
Being unable to Save points to a very different problem. Can you please describe your rig and your installation process?
