Buy the game. That's it. You bought everything you need.
That is what I miss seeing in games.
I would like games to arrive as a single complete package, but I was relatively fond of expansion packs from games like RollerCoaster Tycoon.
They took the game you already had, and pretty much doubled it, they were fantastic!
Far better than any modern DLC for sure.
Game is an absolute masterpiece on top of it all. This kind of game needs unequal levels of support. They knocked it out of the park AND they did it all in the right way. I'm encouraging people to buy it and play if they like RPG, tabletop or even just interested in forgotten realms. One of a few games I've purchased for full price on Steam.
Yep, I bought the Original Sin 2 for full price and planning to get this for full price too.
Between this, Armored Core 6, and Starfield it looks like my gaming backlog is filled until end of year.
I literally bought OS 1 & 2 because of how much I enjoyed the EA of BG3 and how much I like the studio's style. They deserve every penny.
Is OS1 as good as 2 though? I don't know much about it.
I'll be honest, I haven't played yet. It's on the list though!... cries in Steam backlog
I'm curious what bs Bethesda is going to have for Starfield. From horse armor to weak mods you pay for they keep trying something with every game.
When buying the game actually meant something.
Whereas I love playing AAA games for free because other people spend money on cosmetic items I just don't care about.
Apex Legends? Yes please, keep charging for skins and not the game.
Tbh I don't get the hate for this model. I'd much rather be able to play these games for free and get to try them. Skin funded games mean I've played a lot of games for free, and I don't care at all about the skins (and I don't even get why people would) so I view the skins like a donation. If I really like the game I can spend a bit of money to get a skin to support them.
I've played league of legends for literally thousands of hours and never spent a cent on it. I have hundreds of hours on apex and also never spent anythings. It's way better than games where you spend like 20 dollars and then also need to spend either hundreds of hours or dollars to unlock 2/3 of the playable characters.
