What I hate most is games that put savegames into the "My Documents" folder on fucking C. I got a rather small C partition and try to keep only the system and system-related programs on it, and those fucking savegames clog up all the space. Fuck. What happened to storing saves in the goddamn fucking game folder, where they fucking belong?

Not to mention that when you get problems with the system and have to reinstall, your saves are fucking lost. Woohoo. Savegames belong in the game's folder, not in some My Documents on fucking C. Dammit.

You are very right!
There would be only one 'better' place for savegames: c:\windows\system32 :)
Or we could save into the registry!

NWN is well known for huge savegames, the saves actually include the whole module you're playing(ex. the main campaign file takes 50mb, the save will take the same amount + some)

My nwn1 save folder is at 250mb right now, but i've had it at several gb's earlier.

You obviously can see the same trend in all aurora engine games, NWN2 and Witcher.
