Why doesn't the CD have all the Skyrim data in it? Why do I have to download the game through Steam? I would have bought it via Steam if I wanted to download it :/

Am I doing something wrong? Or does everyone have to download the game first?

Cheers!

Activate it on steam, install with the discs, it'll say downloading but watch how fast it downloads. It's a big game so it'll take a while to install unless you have uber dvd drives and a SSD to keep up. The only thing you need to download is the patch which is tiny

Aumm well it's downloading it :/ And now I'm not sure... It says Updating but the actual 5.7GB never finished downloading :/

I pressed the Setup.exe but it opens Steam and downloads it instead :/
