Request: Save game location change

This past year I played Valheim for quite a few months solo. Enough time to beat the latest and greatest content and build and have everything offered by the game at the time. Though it was fun, I certainly do not like to repeat the process.

However, when I upgraded my hardware, I refreshed my copy of Windows 10, but just before I did that I backed up my entire User folder, "thinking it should have contained my save game". Right ?!...

Well... lets just say that now I am a little sad that I will not be spending time like that in this game again. Although, this was mainly my fault for not researching where the save games were actually located, "in the Appdata" folder that no automated backup solution backs up unless you specify it as an additional location. But why would they be stored there in the first place and not in the "USERS" folder??

So yes, that is sketch, and I would like to see this at the very least changed in the near future, because things happen and I certainly don't have hours upon hours to pour into a game that I like to revisit to experience the latest content patches.

If you agree, give this an up vote!

Not really other games store them there also like DarkSouls.
