As the title says, I installed ESO to a custom folder (D:\Games\Bethesda\) and once the installation had completed I found that all the other games I had previously installed to the "D:\Games\Bethesda" folder (Morrowind, Oblivion & Fallout 3) had been deleted! To say I am not happy is a complete understatement! Because of this I immediately cancelled the ESO update process and then un-installed ESO completely! Not only have I lost the installation of the 3 games I had installed to that folder but I've also lost all my Morrowind save games! I'm now going to have to spend hours re-installing those 3 games and all the mods I had installed as well. I am so very, very annoyed at this but I didn't complete the activation process for ESO so at least I'm not being charged for ESO game time that I won't be able to use for a while because I have to spend so much time re-installing!
There was no warning of any sort that anything like this would happen and no mention that installing ESO to a custom folder would result in ALL other content in that folder being deleted without any notification!
It's going to be a VERY long time before I attempt to install ESO again because for the foreseeable future I have NO intention of giving Zenimax Online any more of my money!
Wanted to post this as a warning to everyone else, if you want to install ESO to a custom folder then make sure it's a completely empty custom folder!
