Assuming and hoping that a Witcher 3 gets made :)

Whenever I want to hold on to save files for a game, I usually compress the save folder and upload them to a cloud service (Skydrive) where they remain safely for the months/years until I need them again. Assuming that Witcher 2 saves will be importable into Witcher 3, I'd like to hold on to my saves to preserve my choices. The issue is, my Witcher 2 save folder is 2.2GB in size and it would be a hassle to upload it all.

It seems logical to backup the last few autosaves/quicksaves only but I figured since CDPR folks visit the forum, maybe I'd be able to get a more accurate idea from them.

it makes a save right after the credits, so i imagine that would be the save to import for tw3 or any expansions

Are you sure? I thought it just showed the 5-x most recent ones.

I have more than 80 saves for tw1 (only from one play), and the import on tw2 only shows the last two that are in the Ice Plains. I was slightly disappointed that they wouldn't show you what happened in the save you import.

It even says so on the sticky: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/the_witcher_2/common_issues_and_possible_solutions_read_before_posting

I just put the last autosave the game made after the epilogue into a folder that explains the ending (who i sided with, major characters who lived or died) I got so i can keep track of em.

As it turns out, Winrar compressed the 2.2GB save folder down to 170MB so I decided to split the archive and upload the whole thing to Skydrive, making this thread somewhat moot.

Thanks to everyone for their replies :)
