I have several RZ coupons at Best Buy. As long as the Stone Prisoner is in new copies that are not preorders, I think I will just get the regular retail edition.Doytch said:

I really have no idea of the monetary or gameplay value of the DLC beyond Warden's Keep and The Stone Prisoner. I think I will just stick to the regular edition.garath said:
So what's the deal with all of the day one DLC and pre-order bonuses? Anywhere I can get a breakdown on each version (and pre-orders)? Sounds like the Warden's Keep is gonna be available free in the PC Digital Collectors Edition, but $7 for everyone else. What about the Golem and other content... sigh, ridiculously convoluted.
There are just 2 pieces of DLC that really matter, Warden's Keep and The Stone Prisoner. The latter will be free for everyone who buys the game new, $15 for everyone else. The former is only included with the digital CE, but just $7 bought separately.
(Personally, I've calculated that it will cost me 41 to buy the retail standard edition and Warden's Keep, while the digital CE is 55 here)

Stone Prisoner is free with all NEW copies of the game. If you buy it used it will run you 15 bucks.
Warden's Keep is $7 day one DLC. It comes with the Digital CE to make up for the physical extras you miss out on. Everyone else has to buy it separate.
All the other preorder stuff is in this chart:
So I have had the 360 CE preordered for quite a while, but I am contemplating cancelling and ordering the PS3 CE from the EA store. Is there any reason that I should not do this?
BTW the main reason I am contemplating this is my 360 is not near an internet connection, and I am not paying 100 dollars (80 used) for a wireless adapter.
Edit: Nevermind PS3 CE is sold out. Should I cancel the CE and just spring for the regular edition?

Why would you need a constant internet connection?

Then, the backlash would be "why are they making us pay for something that's on the disc." There is no winning in this situation.

Isn't it free only if you get the special edition? I dunno, all the retailer exclusives for this game have me mixed up.
These are the bones for pre-orders (regular edition) correct?
so what's in the collectors edition?

I'm not saying the game needs to have that perfect feel, animation, ebb and flow like a pure action game like DMC or something, but I've noticed in all WRPG's, they seem to have the most inept animator in god's existence in the industry.
Understandably, in this type of game - you have a budget and a dev. time period, and there are things to focus (probably more important things) - but decent human animation at this point should be expected, and not something you cut corners on simply because all WRPG's have shit animation.

Man I can't get over that fucking chart. Its the pinnacle of pre-order ridiculousness.

I totally agree, which is why I'm not only getting this game but I'm also pre-ordering as well. Something I rarely do. (bonuses are cool too).
Unfortunately I have a Mac so I'll get the 360 version.
So, all that green highlighted crap for the pre-order bonus is for preordering the regular edition. The gamestop I called said they are no longer doing any collector's edition pre-orders.

Any place still taking pre-orders for the collectors edition? Be it in-store or online?
And on that chart - most of everything is just an equipable item right? (except for the one NPC and one Map - warden).
Most these items are low level items, no?
I'm asking this because if it's too much of a hassle I'll just get the regular edition.
I've noticed that many people refer to potential party members as NPCs. If you can, in fact, control them, then it isn't a very good or accurate term.
I'm not sure if there's a better, more standard way of referring to them, however. And in some of these games, I suppose you do only control your protagonist, making the title more apt.
In any event, Shale is a potential party member.

New quest DLC. Cut from the original release, they were able to finish it because of the delay and are releasing it alongside the game. All new copies of the game for the first few months are supposed to come with a download code for it. You'll be able to buy it separately for about $20.
Includes a new recruitable character, a big stone golem looking guy called Shale.
I just define the PC as the person who you control during conversation trees. that is typically one dude (or gal). everyone else, despite being able to control them in battle or move them around a map is a secondary character or NPC for me. (even though, yes, it does go against the strict definition of NPC)

I'm so hyped for this game. I've been looking forward to it since I read the Edge preview from 2 years ago. Unfortunately I'm a console peasant as well, '360 no less. But I do have the PC LE on order from Amazon as I plan to get a gaming PC next year to suppliment my Macbook Pro.

Sorry I need to vent really quick. This shit is fucking ridiculous. Pardon me for being a little old school but since when should I have to look at a damn chart to figure out where I want to buy a game. Nearly every time EA publishes a game it makes me want to wait a year for the GOTY edition before I buy it. Arrrghhh... sorry I'm not trying to derail this thread into a DLC good or bad thing I just needed to get that off my chest. For spite though I'm not buying the game from any retailer on that chart. I'll drive close to 15 miles to this small mom and pop I know instead. / end live journal rant.
Anyway I think there is plenty of content for me right now without all the extra bells and whistles of paid DLC. I'll rely on the mod community to provide me with all the DLC my heart desires FOR FREE. With the editor that they released you know the mod community is going to come up with some fantastic stuff. I really, truly can't wait to see what they come up with.
