Please let us choose the install path for Demigod?

you can... in impulse, click the lightning bolt(top left)/Preferences/folders

then chose location.. tadaa

Wow, thanks!  I had no idea that the lightning bolt was even a button to get to a menu.

Beaten to the punch .

When you launch Impulse, you're supposed to figure out that the lightning orb in the top-left is actually a menu. Somewhere in there is the option to configure install, temporary and backup folders.

Very, very confusing design decision that Stardock just won't revisit Yes, I know it looks cooler this way, but when you see it causes the same issue again and again and again, you're supposed to take the hint.

Edit: Wow, 3 posts while I was editing mine!

At least you can change it.  No such luck with Steam games. Everything goes in the folder where Steam is.

I figured I could do that, but why should I have to dig in the registry when the darn thing should ask me where I want to install it to by default?

So, that doesn't really work!  I changed the default install-to folder, but it still put it in Program Files when I went to install it.  I had to turn on the option for it to prompt me where to install it -- I think it's working now, heh.

you could just install steam to another partition, durr.

Thanks for the wisdom. The point is that with Impulse, you can individually decide the locations, drive and folder, of the games you purchase with it.  With Steam, once you install it, you're locked into that specific drive and location for all your Steam titles. If you run out of room, you have to move your entire Steam folder to another location.

They need to change this in the future. When I first used Stardock it took me some time and searching just to figure out how to use a feature that should have popped up during the installation.

Thanks for pointing out the lightning bolt thing - Not an intuitive place for a menu.

Would have loved a right click menu option 'move game'.

It was modeled after MS Office 2007 That has the MS logo sitting in the top left.

Yup, I HATE this aspect of Impluse... it's just like the new MS WORD (Which I also HATE).

@Annatar11. Copying a bad idea... it still remains a bad idea.

By hate I mean, it's not intiuitive in any why shape or form.  It's a logo and as such it does not say "Options menu here" to any user that I know.  I had to spend more time than I wanted trying to find how to change some options (my wife as well).  I've also had to point it out to many friends that settings are in there. 

If you have to tell someone how to use the UI, the UI has failed.

You're preaching to the choir here.. there've been lots of suggestions to make it more menu-like - changing the icon so there's a drop down arrow that makes it more obvious that it's a menu, things like that.

QFT! Yea, the logo as a menu is a piss poor design and not intuitive at all. Fire the UX that made this possible

For which category? You need to change the one related with Games, not the one related with software (which corresponds to non gaming apps)
