Character Save Values

Overview

This page details character save game values.

File Locations

For savegame locations under Vista they are, by default under "<user's document directory>\\Bioware\\Dragon Age\\Characters\\<Name of the Character the save is for>\\<save slot>\\<savename>.das". As the save name is part of the save file name (though not the folders) it should be pretty easy to find the proper folder name provided one named one's save something distinguishable.

Player Character Stats

Found under SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR->SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR_CHAR->SAVEGAME_CREATURE_STATS->SAVEGAME_STATLIST

For party members the same values should hold. Navigate to: SAVEGAME_PARTYLIST->SAVEGAME_PARTYPOOLMEMBERS-><number>->SAVEGAME_CREATURE_STATS->SAVEGAME_STATLIST

Values here can go above their displayed values, they simply are just not shown. Editing specialization points allows one to have more than 2 specializations. Having all 4 specializations seems to work, one can get all the spells/talents and all the icons display properly, however it is unknown if there are long term game effects.

• STRUCT value of ATTR
