Upcoming Console Complete Edition question

[zaphoduk]

So the base game is coming to consoles on 25th December and is about £8 for the base game. For £13.39 you get 6 DLC packs which contain 3 characters each and some ProtoMatter, Orbs, Lattinum and Bio-Gel. Is it worth getting the complete edition or should i just get the base game? Does the complete edition give you too much stuff up front meaning there's little joy gained from unlocking new stuff? Does having these extra characters out the gate make the early game less meaningful?

There are lots of characters in the game, starting off with 3 more than the base game won't make much of a difference in my opinion. as far as all the materials and orbs and latinum: you can also get this in the game by playing, but having more up front is kinda nice. What do you get with the Complete Edition?

it seems lik a lot

Start your journey with loads of resources and 18 new characters:
• 3 commanders: Picard (old), K'ehleyr and Thadiun Okona
• 3 scientists: Spock (young), Number One and Seska
• 3 engineers: Thy'lek Shran, Charles "Trip" Tucker III and Miles OBrien
• 3 security: Weyoun, Kor and Viceroy
• 3 medics: Guinan, Julian Bashir and Antaak
• 3 villains: Tolian Soran, Founder and Dolim
• Extra resources: x150 ProtoMatter, 1800 orbs, 30000 Latinum, and 18 Rare Bio-Gel

In my opinion, getting these will not ruin the game for you. However, you will also get all of these just by playing through the game and by farming for resources. If you’re looking to play the game just to make it through the campaign and collect all characters then maybe buying the complete edition will help you get there faster. But if you are in the game for the long haul, then you’ll certainly get all of this and more just by playing. It will just take a longer amount of time to get it.
