Hello,
I preordered Skyrim and installed it. It worked. Now I wanted to play it and customized the Steam settings. Tadaaa... I can't play anymore,
cause Steam redownloads the whole game. Like I've nothing better to do than waiting for a unnessecary program like Steam to waste my
time. I'm really pissed and can't wait for the day, when my highly modded Skyrim refuses to start thanks to Steam.
Congratulations for punishing your costumers! I wish I had downloaded Skyrim and cracked it instead of letting your stupid adware fxxx
with me.

You can run it without steam too!
Go to your skyrim folder and launch it from there.

Thanks a lot! Not directly, but at least I may stay away from the mainmenu of Steam. Thanks for the advice! After installing it, I've got to admit, that the game is perfect! =-)
