ESO problem

Castagere

The thing is I play many other games. And with every new chapter, the hard drive space for ESO gets bigger and bigger. For the space right now that ESO needs I can play two or three other mmos for that space. I would love to hear from a DEV why ESO needs that much space.

I mean it's a big game. How many unique furnishings are there? How many sets? NPCs?

I'm not a game dev but it makes sense to me that lots of stuff=lots of space.

The main reason (apart from the sheer size of the world) is the audio files, given that the game is 100% voiced.

Lets just hope they don't pull a Bungie and start vaulting parts of the game. I don't care how big the game gets I want access to all of what I paid for.

A good reason not to increase storage space or housing limits, etc..

I don't see how these affect the player's hard drive space.

They are talking about client side permanent memory.

I stand corrected.

Just to let you know what I mean. I looked at the remaining hard drive space with ESO installed. Then I uninstalled it and installed EQ2, DCUO, and SWTOR. I had more hard drive space left over after installing those three MMOs. How does that make sense?

It used to be bigger, over 100 GB, now it's down to 95 ish.

Pretty sure swotor is around 75. And I think GW2 is 70 ish. Ff14 is 80. The COD games are over 200 in the latest versions.

So when looking at that information ESO isn't all that bad considering it's decent graphics and it's fully voices. Sure there are probably some efficiencies to be made, but I doubt it will get much smaller.

Just look at the first 2 replies to your post. You are playing a huge game that needs space.
