Skyrim Save File location

Snakey402 · 11-22-2011, 04:47 AM

As with plenty of others i can assume, Skyrim for the PC is giving me grief. At first it was being a ♥♥♥♥♥ and shutting down my PC should i use the Map and now it's crashing at will. Don't bother accusing my Hardware or Heat as I have tried many many so called "Fixes" to get it working without sudden crashes all to no avail.

Also i have tried "Verifying Game Cache" with steam. Twice in fact, and now I can't load my game at all. I'm stuck on a never-ending load screen... So now I feel like literally re-installing this ♥♥♥♥♥ via deleting it and re-DLing it. One thing i want though is my save file, As i really, really don't wanna start all over again..

I've not done much in terms of quests but I've gotten alot of loot via being a theif and would hate to re-start with nothing again. So if you could please tell me where the default save game file is located, i could try this last "fix" if you will, and see if I can't play skryim without having the game shut down, and reboot my PC without any warning/ reason.

Thank you for your time,
Snake.
