They can be different places, but the game usually saves to your "Documents" folder, and both the Steam and GOG (Also, Origin, why I have achievements from the Aragami end game but none of the base ones) release will use the same location and pick it up without issue.

Banner Saga 2 saves in a specific location: Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\TheBannerSaga2\Local Store\save\saga2

Banner Saga 1 also had a specific save location.

These are known prior to coding in any "cross-platform" import abilities.

Well, yes. Some time ago. And now there are achivements for GOG too.

I thought this was just a rip-off of the Candy Crush Saga? :-P

Insta-wishlist. Thank you :)

That reminds me that I've stuck somewhere in the middle of TBS1 and should probably restart the game to complete, which is always much harder then starting something new...

Well, it seems they´ve changed their stance one they decided to head back to kickstarter to fund part III. It was already promised there that there would be a GOG version, glad to see the gamepage already beeing up.

And that´s nice as well!

Make it three...
That's a nice move... considering some people were called "pirates" for asking if BS2 was coming to GOG... I always love to see that people can learn. :-)

I love that the GOG.com community never forgets stuff like that. And I hope our numbers will grow while more people start figuring out what a scam platforms like Steam really are.

I still haven't fully given up hope that publishers, and most of all their stakeholders, will finally all learn this simple, undeniable and self-evident lesson: copy protection is a triple waste of money.

(1) you waste money on programming or licensing a protection that will end up being cracked anyway.
(2) you piss off and lose and increasing number of customers, because it is a natural law of copy protection that honest buyers are the only ones punished by it (the other's don't get the copy-protected version, remember?)
(3), often underestimated, you spend a shit ton more money on customer support, because a deliberately damaged product will always fail on a higher percentage of systems.

The sad truth is, most publishers actually know this. These days, almost the only people left defending copy protection are financial investors and managers who do not have even an inkling of understanding about the digital world. The only people requesting copy protection to be implemented are those who would fail to point out which part of that computer thingie is the "mouse" – yet those are the ones calling the shots in the industry, still.

Guess we'll have to wait for that generation to retire.

Sounds like i'll enjoy the backstabbing very much too! :)

I've heard of people having it work out, I've also heard of some games in steam not being compatable with any other format because of the way they interacted wtih the steam client (maybe it was something to do with using steam drm, I don't know only read things on the forums here).

If you have your saves though you can most likely move them manually from one directory to the other and have it work.
I've been excited for this ever since I backed it on KS, glad the time is finally coming :)
Agreed, I hope that when the new generation moves into decision making positions within the gaming industry it also brings the right to own the games they purchased (aka drm free gaming) to our brother and sister gamers who play on consoles. Regardless of which type of hardware someone games on they shouldn't have to be subjected to the plauge of drm.

They did that?

Mmh, good enough reason to not get their stuff.
