You can manually save by exiting. Otherwise, rest at a bonfire or what for it to auto save (Little fire shows up in bottom right corner)

Game save is no longer stored locally, probably only in a dynamic temporary location as it needs to sync with the steam cloud.

The saves are still in NBGI folder in documents. Just look for DRAKS0005.sl2 file

Oh yeah sorry my bad, i assumed that it wasn't cause of how the folder structure for GFWL was (NBGI/gamertag/save.sl2)

You know, that shouldn't really be a concern... -_-

I've acutally found another folder. After updating to Win10 Dark Souls didn't load my character anymore so I started searching and eventually found a silimar NBGI-folder. If you go to C:\Users
there are three folders (at least I got three^^). One with your name, one called "Default.migrated" and one called "Öffentlich", well that's german and I don't know what it's called in english. Tanslated it's something like "public". In this very folder I found another folder called "'public' Documents" which contains just one NBGI-folder. After I pasted my save files into it, DS did load my saves again^^.
