110 GB!
Holy mother of Christ, can't I just install the first game without the 2 others?

You are unfortunalty for your disc space correct.

At the very least it's only 110 GB, for 3 great games that's not bad, look at Arc's 300-400 some GB for some lazy half baked survival game, lol

Or for more recent releases Baulder's gate 3 takes up more space then this collection does, and isn't even half the game these three add up to(I uninstalled it for this collection).

Ark and ME:LE have the same exact install size on my computer, without an DLC installed for Ark. With the DLC, Ark very quickly balloons to the 500+ range. Metro: Exodus is a single FPS game yet it's like 80Gb. FFVII:Remake is around 90Gb.

110 Gb isn't a lot for what this is. I have a good 20 Gb of mods on top of the game itself.

you can get a 1TB ssd for less than the cost of most newer games

its no longer 2008 when most gamers were still on 250-500GB HDDs

I'm biased but it's totally worth it, once you get a grip you're in for a ride

Steam Deck? I'm not going to buy an SD card for 1 game. I'm a huge fan of 1, but can't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about 2 and 3, I just want to play 1.

You can buy the games individually if you want to. Why did you not check the store before making this thread?

That is not true, you can buy the games separately only if you buy the originals, I already have the originals.

If you're that concerned with the file size then would it not be better to continue playing the original ME1 and modding it? You have access to ALOT and ALOV already for the original game.

When logic fails right? lol
Anyway, the trick is to install all of them, and manually delete ME2 and ME3 folders contents, works just fine.
Now the other problem, is that I have a 15 years old legacy save level 60 and I can't use it, because save import only works for 2 and 3...

delete the other language files, shaves off almost 30Gb

you can also upgrade the steam deck SSD as it is just a M.2 2230 sized NVMe drive, plenty of guides online for how to do it.

Best gigs every in my eyes.

ME2 And ME3 modding file size for textures was over 100gb it won't surprise me. They still haven't fixed some of the bugs and textures bugs.
