So I played through the first game (with all DLC) on GoG, but I have the new game on Steam.

Is there any issues with importing saves?

There shouldnt be the game is saved in same location whether you install from gog or steam

The game won't remove my saves if I uninstall the game, will it?

I basically just finished doing a "perfect" run of the first game in preparation for this one. But I'd like that space back.

Like you, I played the first game on GOG (no White March though) and bought this one on Steam. Started playing last night and the import seemed to work OK. Not sure about uninstalling though, maybe you want to copy and save that folder just in case.

I've installed and uninstalled the game noumerous times. The saves are there unless you chose it to delete them. I only had a problem with save import. When I fired up Deadfire for the first time it couldn't find my old saves to import. I looked up and saw there were save point in two different places in my drive. Also my old saves were in no named folder (I'm not sure if I did something with them manually). So I had to create a folder named after my character and dump the saves in there and then copy them to the other location too. It worked. 

 

That said, I haven't heared of any other having importing problems. I recon my problem was because I had Pillas from GoG and Deadfire from steam, and they might keep saves in different locations.

When uninstalling game via gog it asks you if you want to remove settings and saves.

So, which save specifically does PoE2 look for?

I used a GoG PoE save with Steam Deadfire. The game found it automatically no hassle.

 

It’s very unlikely that uninstalling PoE will delete your saves unless you go out of your way to do so. Start your Deadfire game and import save before uninstalling PoE if you don’t want to risk it.

The one that has "gamecomplete.savegame" in its name.
