Can You Install Only One Game At A Time?

EDIT:
I've installed the trilogy and moved the folders of two of the games to a different hard drive and played the third game for about an hour so far without issues, this seems to work fine.


ORIGINAL POST:
All the information I've found online suggests that (at least on PC) you have to install the whole trilogy and there's no option to install the games separately.

Which is pretty ridiculous, but at the same time wouldn't be a surprise. Could someone please clarify? Can you maybe manually delete/move the games you're not playing at the moment?

comes in one package far as I'm aware

The individual games are in specfic subfolders of the installation. I just tried launching ME1 with 2 and 3's folders moved to a separate location and the launcher had no problems launching 1. So looks like it doesn't have to have all 3 present at any time.

Well it all installs as one but you could theoretically delete the game folders for a game then verify files later if you wanna save a couple dozen gigs. No idea if that works.

But at initial install no, it's all or nothing.

That sounds promising, thanks for doing that test!

if i do free up the space 100gigs, it could take me days of running my pc just for downloading. what a waste of ressources.

Yeaaaaah. It's really dumb, given how much space it takes. I personally recommend to just queue up the download while doing chores or something.
