Darth Revan is watching you.
If I install Dragon Age on another computer, will my saved data be transferred through Steam? And if not, is there a way to get my saved files onto another computer?
 
I don't think so, I would think that save data is stored locally. Try finding the folder that the game is in in the program files and see if you can copy any save data files in there?
 
C:\Users\<Username here>\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Characters
The equivalent on windows xp to the above path is the My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\Characters
There is a subfolder for each char you've created, and within it a save folder, with the same games.

However I'd recommend pulling this strategy: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=4996 or http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/howto_online_storage_and_sync_of_save_game_files/_/1 (second link utilizes another program, Link Shell Extension, to save you from manually typing all the mklink commands into the command prompt). Automatically syncs your game save data for whatever computer you decide to set this up on. Yes, you will have to repeat the steps for each computer.

Also great in case your computer crashes, you'll automatically have the most up-to-date copy of all your game saves kept on secure cloud storage.

This works for any game you decide to set up, not just Dragon Age.
