The Elder Scrolls Megathread
Tylale:
Ugh only 14%. I was planning on getting the store copy tomorrow because I usually end up reinstalling it due to mods failing horribly and having to download it over and over again is a pain, but I've decided to just buy it on steam. I just wish I decided sooner. What percentages are you guys at? Also Facechild just launched the game a few minutes ago and ADFDSF.

considering there are a few files on there that are over 1 megabyte each
and that I'm installing from the disc right now.
Also, when I was standing in line I was shivering a bit, but I realize now that I wasn't cold as I'm still shivering in my warm house.
The excitement is to strong.

so you are installing the game without downloading it from a steam server?

The installer on the disc is a steam integrated one that installs the files through Steam, just from the disc.
There's still about 200mb of files you have to download from the Steam servers though (stuff that's omitted for security, I assume) - at least this was my experience of it.
