How much impact does Founders Edition have?

[zipper76]

Hi! I just started looking at this game today and it looks like something I could get into. I am wondering though, is it worth it paying extra for the Founders stuff? How much of an impact is it going to have on my gameplay experience in both the beginning and after I've played for say 100 hours+? Thanks in advance for any replies, and to the devs for making what looks to be an awesome game!

The Ancestor's Bow is my main weapon, since guns are pretty meh apart from the sniper rifles and Lancaster rifles, and other than a 2 hour timer on withdrawing a new bow to use you can replace it as often as you want. It doesn't seem to wear out either. I get better headshots with it than the majority of guns and at a better range, too.

The Warpaints are useful and give nice bonuses, and the SP and Trade Tokens daily are also very handy. The Social Inventory is invaluable as it is a sort of non-physical inventory where you can stash replacement guns, ammo, Camp Fires and so on, in case you "die" (you only get knocked out, according to the game). I don't know what the default weight cap for it is, but it's 150lb with the founder pack. I haven't sold anything on the trade network, so how useful the max selling slots are I couldn't say. I've played about 130 hours and I'm glad I bought it, personally.

The Ancestor's Bow is very helpful in the very early part of a Resistance, and always saves you a little bit of weight since it does the work of two bows. It's almost the only weapon I use in my game. The warpaints and extra Skill Points are nice to have. They're just conveniences, though many of us also bought the Founders package long ago to support the early game development.

I bought the game and DLC in a sale about 4 weeks ago(?) and i bought the DLC as a sort of "thank you" for a very good game too. I love the stealthy infiltration of enemy camps and forts! :D
