I will preface this post with an apology, as I assume that all these questions will probably have been asked countless times before, but I can't seem to find any clear answers (I feel like there should be a section on the main post detailing this?)

But what is the order that they should be played?
I assume: Season 1, Season 1 Christmas and then Season 2?

But the split with Season 2 steam and non-steam with the steam is a bit confusing. Apparently, Steam is the most up to date version but is missing some ( I think someone said it was only missing 1?) scences that the non-steam has?

Also I see there are Christmas and halloween events for Season 2 that just require the date to be set but not any additional download. I assume these are different to the Season 1 Christmas and that there was no Season 1 Halloween?

Like I said, I apologise if these have been answered before.

Edit:
I have just seen above that the Season 1 Christmas is included with Season 1.
So is it Mainly just Season 1 and then Season 2 steam for the whole collection so far?

As I also questioned above, tbh just download the "S1 Christmas" file, as that is already the full S1 + christmas event + Nadia prologue. The "S1 ep1-10" download is missing those.
Then you can just play season 2, but I'm also not sure what's the difference between the steam and non steam versions.

I'd love to get my hands on the Unreal5 engine demo.
If they pull it off to present the 'surprise Megan in the shower' in 3D with decent animations, they have my eternal gratitude.

So, they published a new gameplay footage on UE. So, what can I say.

1) It is, of course, quite a strange decision to release the game on a modern engine with DAZ models. Pay attention to the hair, it looks as disgusting as possible. In the game studios, the hair is made in Maya with a complex simulation using the toolkit xGen due to which a realistic simulation is achieved. If in static Megan still looks good, but when she moves, her hair looks like a lump of slime.
All DAZ models are low-poly, which is great for static renders, but they're not suitable for full game play. If you want to take it a step further, you need to contact professional 3D sculptors and make detailed copies of DAZ models from the game, rather than just dumbly transferring them to the engine.
2)The scene is over-lit as much as possible. Note the unrealistic glare on the table, the reflections. There is even noise in the game, which they try to hide with a denoiser. In fact, to make a long story short, UE is like any game - it's real-time rendering. 3)The animations are good, but that's about it. UE has great tools for animation.
4)The scene looks boring UE allows you to use their textures in Megascans and props, but I didn't notice that in the footage. I'd like to see dust on the table or floor, dirt on the windows - that's the damn least you can do. Any beginner texturing expert in Substance Painter can do that.
5) Are you going to make a game for VR? Then why the huge letter E across the screen?

Is there any way to get bonus content when if use compressed version in season 2. I don't see option for that (I play season 1 on non compressed version and download Season 2 compressed to save some space on my pc and internet issues, PC is nearly full now with games).

Would using Hairworks physics from Witcher 3 work with this?
