SC is shaping up to be a rather large game, but file size tends to speak more of the quality of assets, as well as the amount and compression of audio and pre-renderd cutscenes. That's why we often see very linear (and fairly short) titles like Ryse and 1886 taking up more space than open world titles like inFamous:SS and Sunset Overdrive.
Considering how strong a focus SC has on delivering a 'true' PC gaming experience (meaning incredibly high quality assets), 100GB isn't that surprising. Still pretty damn huge though :p
