Steam
This one is self explanatory.
Steam Install to another Gaming Drive
If you have C: space issues, or want to keep big installs off of your nice SSD, here's how to symb link.
Navigate to:
C:\Users\ %username%\AppData\LocalLow\drecom
Cut the drecom folder and paste it on another drive, I moved it to F:\Games\Wizardry
The full path looks like this:
F:\Games\Wizardry\drecom
Launch cmd, navigate to
C:\Users%username\AppData\LocalLow
Using the cd (change directory) command type:
cd AppData\LocalLow
If you aren't by default in your user section, you can
cd.. cd..
cd C:\users%username%\AppData\LocalLow
Type this command (please ensure the drive and path are what YOU setup, not me lol)
mklink /j drecom F:\Games\Wizardry\drecom
You'll get an error saying it exists if you haven't moved (cut/paste) the folder to the new location
If it succeeds, you'll see a shortcut-looking folder link in AppData\LocalLow for drecom
This is the symbolic link. Any data sent there actually ends up in your alternate location specified in the command line

FAQ
Which one is better?
For Bluestacks you can download through the Google PlayStore directly which is conveniet for both updates and if you want to buy packs and gain Google Play Points. However, you might run into crashes more frequently on Bluestacks. There will be more ads on Bluestacks. Some of the ads you can turn off, but others you can't.
For LDPlayer, there aren't as many ads as Bluestacks. The ads won't be as intrusive than on Bluestacks. It can run better on lower end devices. Not as many crashes. However, you will not be able to download Wizardry Variants Daphne on the Google PlayStore. This means you can't buy packs and whenever there are updates you will have to wait until the apk is updated online or through a third party app like APKPure.
At the end of the day it is up to you and your personal preferences.
