Interesting tip if you want to save some space after installation or to backup the game in your preferred way:
You can delete the language files from the game installation folder, saving up to 9gb of space.
As it is with The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim you can delete those language files and play the game normally with your language of choice.
The good thing about Offline installers is that you own the games you buy, and you get the full package.
The bad thing about Offline installers is that you download the full package and most times that means dealing with language packs you're not gonna use, necessarily.
Tomb Raider 2013 GOTY has 8 language packs if Im not mistaken which sums to around 9gb of useless data in your disk which can be used to install/backup many more games, if you are like me and try to save space with your backups.
So you can delete 7 (all except English), or delete 6 (All except English [for safety] and your language of choice). Always remember to test the game first before deleting the language packs.
What you can do is create a backup folder and move the language files to that backup folder, then test the game and check if it plays normally, then you may be safe to delete the files. But pay attention... Im not responsible for you not understanding how to manage your files and making correct backups of them. You're warned.
Most games on GOG do come with language packs, which is good for all of us, and thankfully with many games, as explained, we have the choice to delete such files and save a bit more of space creating setups/7zping/whatever of our own. :)
