If anything changes in one of those files, however small, then the whole 2GB file needs to be downloaded.

Will Powers, senior manager for marketing and PR at Deep Silver who is publishing the game, explains in a comment on Resetera that the game is split into 2GB files. The reason the patch is so big comes down to how the game engine and file system works. At a hefty size, it's going to take some time to download and it's a shame." The drawback of course is that most of the data in the old build was replaced and has to be downloaded as a patch. Martin Klima, Executive Producer at Warhorse, detailed the update, stating "quests are more balanced, RPG progression is smoother, the game runs faster and every facet of the game got more polish.
