Steam is a requirement I'm afraid, regardless of what package you buy.

Dowly,
Total war I had tried to install and run for an old man on his system. Beside other problems that made that a fail, that thing very often, when he wanted to play it, instead started to download the latest patch - full game download, for the following 4 ot 5 hours. Super. Haplo, what Arclight said I have also read. And in Germany we often have steam games in boxes with the box only containing a code number. The game must nevertheless be downloaded. So, the boxed. version still must be specified by them regarding its real content. Train. Sim 2013 is such a case, for example, at least I read that. Skyrim however saw me smiling...

Steam is required for activation - but not to download the whole blasted game. The Box edition will have the game on disk, so you would be able to install without the download - then just patch it.

I will need to wait until release and then wait for people's feedback. Would sit out the first wave of patches anyway.

Would be happy to hear your thoughts, but as much as I appreciate the X series the change in direction means I'll not be pre-ordering, at least.

Still - your money and your choice and I totally respect it. I don't expect it to be perfect on release, but I know that there is NO doubt I would end up with this game in my library - so I might as well go ahead and have it ordered. I look forward to sharing my thoughts about the game!
