    “Enjoy the game to its fullest without any additional costs” - I know Larian are one of the good guys in all this but the deluxe DLC does come with in-game stuff that is otherwise unobtainable, so their statement isn’t 100% accurate

      It’s pretty tame and they enabled the deluxe pack to preorders which was cool. Nothing in the list is Earth shattering.

        I don’t disagree it’s anything earth shattering but it does make their statement open to being disputed… I guess my other concern would be if it’s a slippery slope but there’s no evidence of that with Larian (so far).
