Yep, I don't want NWN2 to save into My Documents anymore. I'm just wondering, is it in any way possible to change the save game folder for NWN2 specifically? (without resorting to changing the location of My Documents, which is a hassle indeed)
Reason is that the partition where My Documents is located is getting full awfully quickly, and where I actually have the game I've got freaking 200 GB free space. :/

Changing save folder to another partition...?
I've tried to move the save folder a couple of weeks ago, but it did not work. I've replayed it today, but it still won't work. Maybe because my "My Documents" are stored on a file server, but I don't think so.
The nwn.ini file in your installation directory contains a line SAVES=.\saves to specify the save directory. You may try it on your own, by changing the save folder to a different place, f.e. SAVES=E:\saves. On my machine this resulted in saving the file to the top level directory, E:\ in our example, but without a way to load it... sounds like a black hole save folder. Adding this line and its section to the nwn.ini in "My Documents" crashed the game while loading.
So it looks like there is no easy and elegant way to move the save folder beside registry hacking.
But you may want to think about creating a new windows user for playing Neverwinter Nights 2 and moving his "My Documents" to another partition.
