Baldur's Gate 3 is currently taking up all the storage space I would give to Bethesda's sci-fi RPG.

Remember Strike Commander? The floppy disk version (with very limited speech as well) wanted some 40-50MB when the common HDD sizes were 80-120 MB. I had a larger-than-average 240MB and it'd still have hurt if I didn't have a CD-ROM drive to play the CD edition instead.

Remember Baldur's Gate 2, which had multiple installation options for different amounts of the game running from the HDD vs CD, and it felt so extravagant to go "install all of it on the HDD!"

I had to uninstall all other games to play baldurs gate back in the days. Running the game without ever needing to switch CDs. Was worth it.

Nah, I loved changing out those disks. Core memory nostalgia material right there. Waste of time for sure, but one I remember fondly in hindsight.
