when morrowind goes live, can the PTS download be used

I am wondering if we have to download the whole thing again. I know the characters won't save but maybe we won't have to download it all again?
Just curious if anyone has any idea.

When it goes live it should just be a large download to patch the current live game. It will not be a full game download. But, no, I don't think you can use the PTS files to reduce download size.

So not the huge downlowad that it was to get the PTS because that was the full game? Thanks.

Yes, and if you keep the PTS installed it will just do a patch update for future beta releases.

I want to add that PTS will not have the final version of Morrowind/Update 14, either. They never put the final version of Homestead/Update13 onto PTS, and I don't expect them to do it with Morrowind/Update 14.

I should clarify that I am asking that question with the assumption that the player has purchased one of the Morrowind editions.

The download size will almost certainly be the same size for everyone, regardless of whether you've bought a Morrowind or not. Based on the size of the PTS download, it'll be around 10 GB (but may be more, since the PTS patch didn't include all the VO).
