Moonlight peaks save transfer

Has anyone been able to do a save transfer from RIP to the official steam version? I can find a folder called saved games and it's got a document in it, but I tried coppying and pasting in the same folder for the steam copy and nothing.

I ended up playing about 30 hours and just bought it but I'd love to take my save over instead of having to start over.

I read the Aastarion orequel and here are some of my thoughts and some answers

There are so many errors in the title I'm going to scream 😭😂

I was lucky enough to get the arc copy of the book a few days ago, I just finished today. *note any quotes used are subject to change or be cut from the final copy*
I'm not sure what to flare it as since there isn't really one that fits yet.

My general thoughts: I have only really read Kingfishers horror books and enjoyed them, I think this one does well enough to showcase her writing style and I know it won't be for everyone, but I think it's worth a read. I'd most likely prefer to experience the audiobook over reading though, I think that would elevate the feeling alone hearing Neil narrate everything himself.
I think kingfisher did it justice and that the blurb definitely was hitting the booktok buzz but it really didn't fit the book itself.

Flashbacks >!we get to see some of his childhood with his parents(now named!) and grandparent, up to his teenage years and into his adulthood and how he ended up in BG.!<

>!We see the night he was turned and the case that caused it.!<

The relationship - I know a lot were worried about this specifically so I did go into more details here >!it is more instalust on astarion's part but instalove on the paladins part. they meet at alomst exactly 50% in and Within a few moments of them meeting, they do flirt some and Astarion does mention being attacted to him and lists multiple others he was attracted to but it's very clear that Astarion isn't in love with him. Things could have developed if given enough time, the chemistry was there and astarion did have some type of feelings towards him but I hesitate to call it anything but a fleeting fancy. I'm pretty happy with how Kingfisher handled this one but I can see many not being a fan of it. there is also a second relationship that we see unfold during his past, he does claim to love her but it is more a crush that is never reciprocated. !<

Timeline and siblings >!Aurelia, Violet, Petras, Dalyria and Yousen.!<
>!Yousen is claimed to be the most recent spawn and had been turned 'a few years ago' at the start of the competition, but at the begining of the book it mentions that both Yousen and Dalyria were both 'not even 3 decades old/dead' on the same page so based on this section, this takes place around the 1460s since we know Yousen's turndate by his quote, but then this doesn't really follow Dalyria's suspected turn date, she is turned prior to yousen. !<

Sebastion mention->!Sebastion is mentioned and it's explained that Astarion wasn't in love with him so much as what Sebastian represented. He’d felt that if he could save this one foolish child, he could somehow save himself!<

on page explicit content- >!There is on page sexual assult as expected, it's not fade to black but it is not overly detailed, the consensual sex is more detailed and lasts about a page or so!<

I've spoilered some quotes from the book down below that caught my eye while reading

>!It was terrible to be a sadist’s plaything. It was infinitely worse to be their only plaything.!<

>!It was astonishing the things you would do of your own free will simply to avoid being forced to do them.!<

and honorable mention quote by Yousen because it made me laugh

>!“She’s too much woman for you, Yousen.”!<

>!“Yes, but what a way to go.” He was staring so intently at the minotaur that he nearly walked into the wall. “Do you think she’d step on me? If I asked very respectfully?”!<
