Transferring Character

Hi,

I bought a new computer and would like to transfer my character from my old computer to the new one. How do I do that?

Sincerely,

Denise

  • Your characters are located in a subfolder of your Windows user account's My Document's folder:  My Documents > Bioware > Dragon Age > Characters.  Simply copy all the entire contents of that folder to another location (like a USB drive) and then replace them in the same location on your new computer.  Two notes-- 1) you may not see those folders on your new machine until you launch the game once, and 2) the folder on your old machine may be surprisingly large... several gigabytes if you save often, because a small image (jpeg) file is created with each save.
