How to change save file location in Divinity: Original Sin?

I have noticed that loading and saving games takes a long time and would like to change the save game location to my rather small SSD. How can I do this?

Clarification: I have a single SSD and have already moved the game files from 'Program Files' to it. My windows installation 'C:*' and 'My Documents' is on the HDD. I would prefer not to move all of 'My Documents' to the SDD.

Best Answer

In order to get the game to load faster, you would need to put the entire game onto the SSD vs just the save file. Loading the game means loading all the assets required to run the game, all of which (I believe its safe to assume) are located on your secondary HDD. The save file should already be on your SSD as the default save location for most games is in your "My Documents" folder.
