idbeholdME: They are also saving a ton of money by not having to pay people to port it to Linux, which probably far outweighs the small % of people who won't buy because of that. You can be sure they've done their analyses on the subject and if it was worth it, they'd do it. A simple business decision IMO. They tried it in the past, expenditure > returns, no bueno.

Enebias: OUCH.

I loved Kingmaker and the content was plentiful. I was also eagerly expecting this game... but isn't 100€ for the complete edition a bit too much?

Tarhiel: It is pricey, no doubt about that, but I am thinking about buying it.nonetheless.

Mori_Yuki: It is. Considering the season pass including 3 additional DLC the price seems rather okay.

I will opt for the Commander edition and wait for the release of the first and second DLC but pass on the third. I don't like the idea of introducing a rogue-like mode with partial integration into the main campaign. If I wanted to play a rogue-like I would play one. :)

neondrop: Yikes exclusive pre-order content for 100€, immediately offputting, sorry.

NuffCatnip: 49.99€, you get the pre-order stuff with every version.

I still don't like this kind of practise, locking items behind pre-order. :/

I just put another 10 hours into the previous game and this time I'm actually having fun with it, but those items might keep me from purchasing 'Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous '.

TomNuke: Why the whining about pre-order bonuses? It's a couple items, one pet, and a few skins for animal companions... Not a big deal, but let's act like it's the end of the world and all.

I mean, you could just pre-order the game if you really want it, right? God forbid the devs want people to show up and buy on release, and they're providing a little bonus for the people who do show up. Good for them, and I like it when devs do that.

Not like pre-ordering is a risk either. You can easily pre-order, and if the game turns out to be bad (this game won't) you can get a refund. So what's the problem here?

Anyways, Wrath of the Righteous was an easy pre-order for me. I had a great time with Kingmaker, and everything I've heard and seen say that this new game is just much better in all areas. I do hope that the runtime on this one is shorter though, since I did feel Kingmaker was just way too long.

But yea, really looking forward to diving into this on September 2nd.

And to the Devs -

I really like the exclusive pre-order content. I think it's nice little bonus for the people who show up and support the game on day one. Stuff like that does encourage me to pre-order (which I just did with the Mythic Edition).

Edit: Oh, and I really dig that "Box art" for the game. Much better than Kingmaker :)

nightcraw1er.488: That’s all well and good, however what about if you don’t see the pre-order until after it has ended? Then you are missing some content.

nightcraw1er.488: As with other thing it is a yes or no not a how much question. Is the full version missing content after a certain time, yes it is. Just the same with cyberpunk, does it have content online gated, yes it does. Doesn’t matter if it’s one pixel or half the game.

Tarhiel: I wouldn´t worry about the third DLC, it seems very similar to Beneath The Stolen Lands DLC for the Kingmaker - the rogue-like mode will most probably be separate from the base game and dungeon in the game itself will definitely be finite.

Mori_Yuki: If it was like you suggest I wouldn't mind at all. :) What worries me is the way it is described on the store page: with partial integration into the main campaign This suggests that it is going to become part of the main game in some way.

As long as this isn't clear it is the safest option to opt for the Commander edition and upcoming DLC separately without risk of missing out on anything and not necessarily wasting money in advance on something I might not like.
