Must say I'm glad I got a new computer earlier this year. Been waiting for this game for so long. But I might need a new hard drive

Ditto, I think I'll be able to run it on high-very high. I'm really happy that it's 20 gigs, it's a great sign!

Despite the fact I cleaned up my HD yesterday I still went and double checked after reading the 20 gigs.

But heh 270gb left so plenty of room for all those modules in the future

To the OP: why do you compare the size of a stand-alone game with a MMO where most of the code/content is not hold on the client side? That makes no sense to me, sorry.

Actually, in most MMOs, all of the content ends up cached on the client side once you've done a full update. And code is tiny by comparison, so is basically insignificant.

I have a TB of drive space, so I'm good, right? Planning on getting another just for the expansion!

I remember when the games were in mb (omg, this game is huge, it's 20mb!!!!)

Face it, we're old.

I remember playing games in KB size. Oh how i cried when my Commander Keen Floppy Disk died of old age.

Anyway, 600GB of space over here. I am amazed how soon it wen't all the way from "You won't be able to fill that, ever " to "Another TB or two may come in handy"

Cmon, the answer to this one is painfully obvious.

You know I had to incite it. <_<

My gaming laptop's got 500 GB, about 60% of that is free.
I have a 1 TB external, but that's reserved for downloaded Japanese media.
My old 320 GB and 640 GB externals have some free space since moving stuff from them to the 1 TB one, so when push comes to shove, I could move other games to those to make space for DA:O additions.

I'm stuck with my 250gb+80gb hard drive

I might have some 16mb RAM somewhere ;( And an atari, damn, back then a game wasn't over 3mb, and could last easil 20 hours+

Xbox probably doesn't need the highest quality textures. But really, it's 20Gb space on the hard drive to install. If the installer is compressed on the disk, then not only will it fit on 1 DVD, but once installed it's not going to necessarily take up 20GB. Usually installers will uncompress their stuff into a temporary directory, so during the install you have a copy in the temporary directory of some of the data that is also in the directory you are installing the game into.



Eg. NWN2's installer needed space to fit 2 copies of the game because of this. However usually a game does uncompressing the data in chunks to avoid it being quite that bad.

I felt the same way when my "Sword of the Samurai" floppy was corrupted.

Yay!  Nostalgia!  Ultima V on the ol' C64, I believe, weighed in at a massive 5 whole floppy disks.  Probably around 800KB of total stuff.  So, DA:O should be about...

*does math in head that is most likely completely wrong*

25,000 times better than Ultiva V

Twenty giggles isn't all that much... My various copies of Oblivion, mods, and 5k saves take up 100... Hopefully, DA"O will last long enough for us all to witness folder creep of that magnitude. Keep in mind that it is very much possible to use Hard Drive space ineffectively... Case in point, Drakensang.
