is this the first time you guys encounter drops ? It's not really new, even in single player games.

Yes, it's 2023 and Larian is going to market their game like it's 2023.

Good news! You don't have to give a ♥♥♥♥ about cosmetic items.

Crazy stuff, that.

Marketing, that is.

Yeah, wasn't thrilled about hearing this. It's locking content behind additional accounts and services.

Probably will leave a negative review for the game because of this. Disappointing to see Larian do it.

[Knightspace]

Meh, it's some worthless ♥♥♥♥ tbh.

Will probably be released later for everyone anyway, as it happened a few times already.

[AdahnGorion]

I agree, I dislike these things, but its just a pointless custome, that I would never use anyway. So I can live with it. still a bad move to join the "Twitch drop" movement.

[Nefser]

Nothing wrong with stuffs, if people want the free stuff, then they can do the thing to get the free stuff.

I might even get the free stuff, even if I don't use the free stuff, as it's free stuff and I won't be playing right away (30-60 minute download estimate for me). So, why not?

Wait, what how does this make any impact on your enjoyment of what is a single player game(I wont be getting these drops or whatever the OP claims)... But yet you will claim you might leave a negative review based on such... Hey lets not base our veiws on the actual game when its released, but if I got a stu*** drop in a totally irrelevant site that is viewed by a faction of gamers... For as I say again a SINGLE PLAYER GAME(unless you have friends playing co-op and wanna flex saying "err yeh I ot this because I watched Twitch", then well...)

I have no interest in watching streams to get purple underwear for my character but I'm in no way upset that it's offered. If it gets more eyes on the game and creates further sales for Larian, maybe it increases the chances of us getting more amazing RPG's to play?

Regardless, it's free if you really want it. Don't understand getting up in arms over it.

It’s pointless ♥♥♥♥ now but how long until a game starts locking stories and quests behind twitch drops

Precisely. Also nobody's opinion of the company improved after that move. They lost respect in the eyes a lot of customers though. They've moved themselves closer to the likes of EA, Ubisoft, and Bethesda.

Out of curiosity, is there a pointless overpriced 'deluxe' edition as well? Will we see an 'ultimate' edition down the line that lacks some DLC and is therefore incomplete? Time will tell, but they've shown what path they're embarking on.

It's content that is locked away behind additional accounts and services. No matter how minor you think it is, it's a scummy move and not something I agree with or support.

It's my right to leave a negative review for something that I feel is anti-consumer and just opens the door even more for worse going forward. Some might not agree with that, or feel like they would do the same, but oh well.

I don't have interest in watching other people play video games either, but I like cosmetics and I'd want to get them, but not enough that I'm willing to sign up for additional accounts to get content that should be included in the game. I'll just leave a negative review instead.

And no, it's not "free". Signing up for accounts and "watching" people playing a video game is not free. I'd rather pay $10 for it than sign up for Twitch and watch some goof playing two hours of a game I bought.

How would that make any sense? The point of twitch is to spread awareness. Forcing people who've already bought the game to watch twitch in order to unlock critical pieces of the game they already paid for would be a very odd marketing decision.

[Kazuma]

remember when even if you got the special deluxe collector’s edition you still didnt get all the content including story and extra missions just because you didn’t buy it from Amazon or Best Buy or Walmart or game stop and even if you did the other store had their exclusive that the others didn’t

Not true, you need to create and link a twitch account. You also probably need to get a Larian account to link it to.
