"I still can't comprehend how massive this game must be to warrant two disks. It's understandable on 360, since all content has to be streamed off the disk, so it can only be compressed a certain amount without leading to insane load times. But it's also on two disks on PC. On PC they can compress it all they like, because it's all installed (and therefore decompressed) prior to playing. It's insane that it's on two disks on PC. Insane. Perhaps it's just a marketing thing, so that people on PC don't feel like they're getting less content, even though they'd have the same content, just on one disk. But if it actually needs to be on two disks, it's crazy. "

The installed size is 11.4 GB, compared to 15.1 GB for Dragon Age which was 1 disc. It's my understanding there is several gigs of alternate language audio on the discs that doesn't get installed but aside from that I think it's safe to say they could've easily fit the PC version on 1 disc. "

I think audio is definittely the reason. In DA:O, there is a silent protagonist (aside from the small amounf of command responses that occur during exploration or battle). In ME, Shepard is fully voiced, and all dialogue has to be recorded as both a male and a female. "

I have to say, this is pretty stupid. They could have just put the first 2 parts of the game on one disk, and put the last third of the game on the last disk.
 
And like many of you have said, why wasn't their a Forza 3 like feature to install the second disk?
 
Oh, and for those who say it isn't a big deal, how about having to go to your TV every time you need to switch your channel? Or every time you need to increase the volume? Why don't you do that instead of using a remote?

Man, that's just lame.

Ok, i can deal with getting up for more than 20 fucking seconds. I mean its very very marginally not ideal, but i think i can see past it for a game thats reportedly incredible.

Why not just put the beginning and middle on disc 1 and end on disc 2.... fucking makes no sense to but the end back on Disc 1, makes none what so ever....

Disc swapping doesn't bother me at all, never has. I actually like having multiple disks cause it makes me feel like I have so much game to experience.

Why not just let the players install the whole damn game and be done with it. ohh well. Maybe Bioware will patch it up but I doubt it.  "
