Inquisition uses a distinct BioWare directory and should not be merged with Origins or Dragon Age II folders. The hub treats cross-game world-state import as separate from raw save-file compatibility.
Prepare the source PC
On the source system, identify the actual Dragon Age: Inquisition save root: Windows: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsBioWareDragon Age InquisitionSave. The expected file/folder pattern is numbered/profile save records in the Inquisition Save directory. Close the game, let the active launcher finish writing and synchronizing, then make a complete offline copy rather than transferring a file that may still be open.
Preserve storefront and profile identity
Documented storefronts: EA app, Steam. The active EA app, Steam installation determines which local profile and cloud copy can overwrite the save. Identify the storefront and account before restoring files. A transfer between two PCs is simplest when both systems use the same storefront/account/profile context. If the destination uses a different store or container, treat that as a migration problem rather than an ordinary restore.
Move the complete save boundary
Close Dragon Age: Inquisition, let the launcher finish any synchronization, then copy the complete documented save directory to a dated folder outside the live path. Preserve companion files rather than selecting only the newest-looking record. Put the copied data on the destination only after confirming the destination save path. If the game creates a new empty save first, keep that new folder as another backup so you can compare structures and revert.
Handle cloud sync deliberately
EA cloud synchronization can replace local copies; allow the launcher to finish syncing before taking a baseline backup. Decide whether the local transferred copy or cloud copy should be authoritative before launching the game. If possible, preserve both. After the transferred save loads correctly, make a fresh in-game save and let the launcher synchronize normally.
Check compatibility before blaming the transfer
Inquisition stores PC saves in a dedicated BioWare Save folder. Manual and autosave records can coexist, so preserve the complete directory before restore or troubleshooting. Compatibility note: Treat saves as version-, storefront-, account-, and mod-sensitive unless the game or a separately verified migration workflow proves otherwise. A similar filename or extension is not evidence that two releases are interchangeable. If the destination does not see the transferred progress, If progress is missing after a restore, confirm the active Windows account, storefront/profile, cloud state, and exact directory first. Restore the untouched backup before experimenting with individual files or older autosaves. Verify game edition/version, store, profile IDs, redirected folders, and mod/DLC dependencies before editing the save itself.
Verification context: Windows save location, file-boundary, launcher/cloud, and backup notes were reviewed against the linked game-specific references for Dragon Age: Inquisition. This Game Hub is documentation only and does not claim a new game-specific Save Editor.
Recorded Phase 40 evidence boundary
This Phase 40 entry is grounded in the researched PC save boundary for Dragon Age: Inquisition: Windows: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsBioWareDragon Age InquisitionSave The recorded file or folder pattern is numbered/profile save records in the Inquisition Save directory. These concrete identifiers are retained so backup, transfer, recovery, and editing preparation remain tied to the documented game/storefront context instead of a generic extension guess.
