If you have the time I feel its much better to start from the begining of ego up to fov
At first I was alittle dissapionted that I couldnt use my old saves but now I dont mind losing my saves from the retail copy of ego when i switched to the steam version package the price i could beat for all three and found stuff that i missed first go around .I did start a character from fov but only played it shortly didnt feel the same starting in the middle
