Save file locations
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save\ . Save files use the .das extension.
Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data
Console saves are sealed and can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.
My games & apps > <Game> > Manage game > Saved data
Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your Microsoft account; there is no user-accessible save file on disk.
Cloud saves
On PC, Dragon Age: Inquisition syncs saves through the EA app / Origin cloud rather than Steam Cloud. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer copy so you don't lose progress.

How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %userprofile%\Documents and press Enter.
- Open BioWare > Dragon Age Inquisition > Save.
- Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.
Save problems & fixes
Dragon Age: Inquisition save won’t load or says it’s corrupt
Many games keep an automatic backup next to the save (a .bak or numbered copy) — close the game, copy that backup over the broken file, and reopen. On Steam, also right-click the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.
My Dragon Age: Inquisition save is missing or the folder is empty
You are usually looking in the wrong sub-folder — open the numbered profile/Steam-ID folder inside the path above, not the parent. If it is still empty, cloud sync may not have finished before the game overwrote the local copy; reconnect and let the cloud sync complete before launching.
Dragon Age: Inquisition progress rolled back after a cloud conflict
When Steam or the console reports a save conflict, always keep the version with the LATER timestamp. Choosing the older cloud copy overwrites newer local progress — the most common cause of “lost hours.” If unsure, disable cloud sync, back up the local folder first, then re-enable it.
