Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Larian, why not using system's gamesave folder ?

Microsoft aren't incompetent, we do have softlink in Windows, they are just called with another name, you can create symbolic links, hard links and junctions, but there is absolutely NO REASON to store save on game's folder, for any reason, even if the system is able to support symbolic links because it make the game multi users unfriendly. I don't understand how this thing turned out of topic that fast.

Keeping saves on game's folder is a security breach as it would mean you are allowed to write on game's folder, in addition to breaking multiple user compatibility.

You are technically able to place your Windows' profile and/or save game system folder on the drive you want by changing systems variable for this, any software calling the path using the variable will be on the right place whatever happens.
