EDIT 2: Files have been found in Documents/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition.
And, this post may have been put in the wrong place. Sorry about that.

I've looked over the forum here and every thread I could find about it is at least 3 years old and the file locations point to directories that don't exist.

It's not where I installed GOG, it's not where I installed the game. I've searched through every appdata folder and found nothing.
And yes, I am showing hidden files. I always do.

Please help! I need to make a backup.

EDIT: Forgot to mention specific places I've looked:

Some have said to check AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files (x86)
but I only have Program Files not the Program Files (x86)

Some have said to check where I installed the game, but there's no savefile directory in there either.

I even went to check the GOG folder itself, it's not there either.

Am I looking at it the wrong way? Am I not looking for a savefiles folder, am I just looking for the game folder itself?

If you are playing the EEs, then the save files are under "/Documents/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition".

Oh I found it. Thank you! (That's kind of a strange location though, lol.)

You are welcome :)

Remember the good old days when every file necessary for a game was in a single folder and its subsidiaries?

No, because those were the bad old days, when games took it as a given that you would run them as Administrator so they could write all their save games into the install directory. Backing up just the save files, and not backing up all the game data with it, was messy. (I wanted to separate them because game data I can get back by reinstalling the game, but save files are irreplaceable.) Storing the save games in a separate area is better. It'd be better still if the game provided a straightforward way for it to tell the player where those files are, and maybe even have a button to open Windows Explorer pointed to that directory.

Actually my good old days are probably older than yours. Back when we only had one hard drive and there was no such thing as an administrator on your own PC.

Anyhow, now it does make sense to put stuff your program needs to read only in one place, but things it needs to write somewhere else. However it does not make sense for your program to write its files any damn random place it can think of. There should be industry standards and people should stick to them so we never get threads like this one. Maybe what I really miss is standards.
