I activated my product key on Steam today, but have no idea what to do next.
I've only used Steam back in the day, when it was mandatory DRM for Skyrim. I never needed to use the Steam client, as Skyrim would start OK as long as Steam was running in the background. So a basic FAQ would help. In particular,
I've only used Steam back in the day, when it was mandatory DRM for Skyrim. I never needed to use the Steam client, as Skyrim would start OK as long as Steam was running in the background. So a basic FAQ would help. In particular,
- Steam is asking me to install NWN EE again. Do I need to do this? Why?
- If I install NWN EE again under Steam, can I / should I map that installation onto the game folders I already have for saves and custom content?
- There has been talk of downloading custom content on Steam. Where can I find out about this?
- Is there an NWN forum on Steam? As an author, do I need to monitor it?
- How do I stop Steam from starting automatically? There is a Steam client option, but it doesn't seem to work - on reboot, Steam is still lurking, according to Task Manager.

2. Folders in /Documents will be the same
3. It's Steam Workshop.
4. Sure, there is. As for monitoring, - your choice.
5. You should define it in the Steam app. Not sure why the option doesn't work for you if you tell Steam not to launch at Windows launch.
From that, I learn that I need to install a Steam copy of EE if I want to upload custom content to Steam, or download from it. I'll need to think about the pros and cons.
I guess you mean the folders in /Documents are common, so that both Steam and Beamdog copies of the game share the same files?
Unofficial, of course. Corrections welcome.
