Why not? I have lots of games installed in Program Files (because they still all install there) and many of them are modded and work just fine... just like they have done since I first started playing with mods a decade ago.

It works fine for me as well. Though you can't save any edited files, but I save it to my docs and then move it manually and overwrite, not too big of a hassle.

I haven't noticed a difference.

He's right. I learned this the hard way when I installed RTW and found that I couldn't easily just edit the faction: descr folder to unlock all the factions as I used to in XP. It's possible to do, but slightly more annoying than it once was. It's overall just much easier to install it not in the Program Files folder.

Or just install any decent mod that doesn't lock away any factions like vanilla does.

I have a question about Victoria 2 (buying it, more rather):
The Victoria 2 franchise bundle is currently on sale at Impulse/Gamestop, and I'm interested in getting it. However, if I get Victoria 2 on Impulse, will I be able to register the game on steam (I would prefer that rather than register it as a non-steam game)? Additionally, if I wish to buy future DLC/expansions from other digital providers, such as steam or gamersgate, will there be compatability issues if I buy the game on Impulse?
(Additionally, what other similar compatability issues might there be with other PI titles, such as EUIII?)
Thanks in advance.

No, you wont't be able to register it on Steam or buy the expansion(s) from there. I'm pretty sure it would be compatible with expansions from other providers, though.
The Steam version of vanilla V2 does have problems; it has a different checksum to that of every other version (the latest AHD patch fixes that, I hear), meaning you can't play MP with anyone who doesn't also have the Steam version.

I'm only going to be interested in this game if it is actually worth your time and fun to play as the smaller nations. Otherwise it will get boring after only a few games.

Are those naval borders?
Looks like it--owning an island gives you control over the waters in a small radius around it, same thing with coastlines.

Finally they added that, now you can use naval dominance like a boss.
