Question about install with DE

[Shemp]

The bottom DLC is checked by default, I unchecked as I presume its for the original and the DE install should cover it?

Would appreciate if anyone could clarify.

Yup, altho you probably already have installed original base game anyway.

This is my first Install actually, but thank you very much for the answer.

Doesn't matter, if you previously purchased original Outward (which I assume you did, since you own Three Brothers DLC).
If you head to the installation folder, you will notice there are actually two game folders; one stands for vanilla, while the other for DE.

Oh that's good to know, can I uninstall the old version and if so just delete the folder? As I probs wont play it.

You can delete it. But there is a chance Steam may force you to re-download it, once devs launch some patch.

Would have been easier to just release it as a separate game

they really do need to fix that junk. i don't need both games downloaded. only the de.

that's what i was saying 2 days ago when i install and it installed both. Like give us a option to install which one we want. Luckily I could just delete the base version folder since the de has its own folder.

yep. still, i had to sit and wait for the game to re-download and reinstall because i enabled a beta. any update or file verification will trigger it to download again. just really stupid.

As a new customer, would you buy a game with nearly no reviews? Or with over 15k reviews, being Mostly Positive?

[Sanghelios]

As a new and old customer, would you like to download (especially with really low connection like me) the game twice to just play one ? Not mentionning the space it takes on hard drive. No, don't listen to legends, hard drives don't grow on trees.
Plus, game titled "definitive edition" implies that there was an undefinitve edition before you can check. Also every game that does a definitive edition either converts the game itself in an update or make a new game. First time I see a new edition of a game as a DLC of the said game.

[Karsui]

I understand you and I also don't like how they resolved it. But like everyone else, I'm also waiting what they will do about it.

Given the Steam limitations; the only reasonable way to solve that by devs, would setting the Original Outward as another DLC, and as a "base game" some random 1kb file or a launcher (assuming Steam would allow it), in which you choose game version to download.

[Sanghelios]

Would work, but it would be even weirder than it actually is x)

my guess is they'll do nothing, and if we're lucky modders will make a custom installer
