How to find, export, and import save files in Baldur's Gate 3

hello and welcome back today's video is going to  be on how to locate a save file for a playthrough   how to take that save file and  upload it to a Google Drive document   and how to share that document to your friends  or how to post that to a public space and also   how to take a Google Document and import that  save into your game so you can play and so you   can share your campaigns with your friends say you  have a group of four people and one person's not   playing but they're the host how they can send you  that save file so the rest of you can still play   or if you have a super freak character like  this that you want to show off to your friends   you want them to play or you want to go God mode  how to share something like this a link in the   description of the videos on how to change  the stats and how to add items to the game   so the first thing that we're going  to have to do to locate or save is   find the save so go into your search bar  for Windows 10. type percent capital a   PP capital D ATA percent app data it is  case sensitive search that up so here   you're going to click on the link for  app data then you're going to click local you're going to scroll to scroll down until  you see larion Studios click on larion Studios   Boulder's Gate 3 player profiles public save games story and then here's  all of your saves in the game so what we want to do is I want to share this  freak of a character with my buddy who plays so we're going to leave this here and  we're going to open up Google Drive   now I already did it here just so I don't have  to download anything but I'll I'll show you how   how it works so you're gonna do new new folder  Untitled folder we'll do test uh one create then go into here and all you're going to do is you're going to  drag and drop the file that you want to put into a   Google doc and it says 15  minutes less than a minute   okay we're going to cancel because I already I've  already done it and I don't want to wait for it so once it's done loading you're  going to have something like this and if all you're trying to do is share this   all you have to do is right click on this  part where it shows the save name up top and share and copy link and then  you can copy and share that link so that's how to share a Google Document now this is   going to ask for permission uh right now  it's private for me if you're familiar   with Google Docs then this is going  to be bad just go to manage access come on and then change it from  restricted to anyone with the link   and then hit done if you don't do that you're  going to get emails uh corresponding how   you're going to get emails requesting for  permission to open this Google Document but if you just save it to public like that   then anybody can open a link and you don't  have to worry about standing by your email   okay so that covers the first part the second  part of the video now is going to be how to   take a Google Document link so your friend  sent you a super freak character and now you   want to play with that character so this is how  you're going to do it and for me what I'll do is   I'll delete the save whoa I'm kind of in the  safe so let me load um let me load this safe just to show you that I'm not just  reloading my save that it actually works so all right here I am level one regular stats no  items this character sucks man I need the juice so I just got my link I'm going to paste my link and you're gonna get your Google Drive document you're gonna right click on this part this is very  very important do not download these individually   whenever you do that it makes it into a  file that the game cannot read and it will   not load it'll just be zero percent forever  you have to download from this portion here   have to have to have to so download it's going to zip it's going to prepare the download  and it's going to download   okay and while that's downloading I'm going  to delete my save that way we can go through   it and I'll close this out that way we  can go all the way back through it again   so here we go it says orc Barb is done  I no longer need my Google Document up   so I'm going to close it out let's go back  through how to get to the save just in case   we forgot so percent capital A PP capital d a  t a percent enter we're going to click app data   local scroll down to find layering Studios  or larion Studios Boulder's gay three player profiles public   save games story okay we got this back now we  need to find our download where did it go right so let's get to our desktop and then let's go to downloads and here we see compress zip folder orc bar  drag this out of the folder onto the desktop open up this file and drag out the save file  like this we can't do it in a compressive folder   we have to pull it out so this right here is  the save that we're going to be using to get to in here so now once you have this you're  going to drag this over move the story there it is it's and we can  close this out open up our game load game and there's work Barb so let's load orc  Barb if you get zero percent here you did   not download it correctly if it does  not load you have to have to have to have to have to have to right click it at the  top and download or else it will not populate   but here we are level 30 stats sick gear  Scrolls of Fireball we're ready to rock   so any questions about this please leave a comment  I will do my best to answer questions and if you   guys want to see some save files or want me  to create specific uh builds for you guys   let me know and that's something that  I'll do and I'll have a public Google   Drive document available and I'll even  put in that Google Drive document the list   of spells excuse me Scrolls and  arrows and consumable stuff that is is   very uh High use for the gameplay that you can  use to item spawn in but that does it for this   video sorry this one's a little bit long-winded  um but hope you have a great day and thank you
