Where Are Dragon Age Inquisition Save Files Located?
Inquisition keeps DAISAVE files per Inquisitor in BioWare Documents, fully separate save files per hero.
Last updated
Dragon Age: Inquisition stores saves as DAISAVE files in Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save, one chain per Inquisitor with profile options beside them. Screenshots share the parent tree. Frostbite ties saves to the build, so patch mismatches refuse loads.
Multiple heroes coexist cleanly through the character switcher, which is kinder than the older one-folder-per-hero layout. Copy the Save folder whole for migrations and keep builds matched. The Keep handles cross-game choices, leaving local files to the current Inquisitor only.

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save
DAISAVE chains per Inquisitor plus profile options in one folder. Character switcher keeps heroes separate. Frostbite binds saves to builds; match patches when migrating.
Frequently asked questions
How do I run two Inquisition playthroughs side by side?
Start a new game; the loader gains a character switcher. Each Inquisitor keeps an independent save chain, so one folder holds several heroes without mixing them.
Do Origins and Dragon Age II saves import?
No. Inquisition reads the Keep, not save files, so Origins and DA2 choices arrive through the web tapestry. Local saves only matter inside Inquisition itself.
