DLC Questions

[Ashes]

Ok so, this is the DLC entries for Banner Saga 3 according to SteamDB. I want to know what some things are and more importantly which of these things can be unlocked in-game without owning the DLCs and which are just accessible earlier in the game. Also which game package includes what.

I pre-ordered the Standard Edition and got the following.

I saw that the "deluxe content was added for Standard Editon Pre orders, which is this:
The Banner Saga 3 - Digital Wallpaper
The Banner Saga 3 - Digital Map
The Banner Saga 3 - Gold Wasp Item

The Dredge Ally Pack supposedly adds these:
The Banner Saga 3 - Soundtrack Bonus
The Banner Saga 3 - Sculptor's Tools Item
The Banner Saga 3 - Shield Cleaver Heroic Title
The Banner Saga 3 - Kivi Dredge Hero

But I don't see a DLC listing in my library for the Dredge Heraldry, which I assume should be included in one of these or is missing.

Also why does this not show up if the Deluxe Edition stuff is added to all Strandard Edition Pre-Orders:
The Banner Saga 3 - Deluxe Items

The Legendary Edition Owners should get these on top of the deluxe edition items:
The Banner Saga 3 - Shadow Walker Heroic Title
The Banner Saga 3 - Petrie Clan Ring Item
The Banner Saga 3 - Book: Gift of Hadrborg
The Banner Saga 3 - Legendary Items (What's this?)
The Banner Saga 3 - Soundtrack (This is also sold seperately under Soundtrack on Steam)

And I assume these are Kickstarter backer bonuses, but I have zero idea what they are:
The Banner Saga 3 - Zeno
The Banner Saga 3 - Bannerfolk Pack
The Banner Saga 3 - Banner Bearer
The Banner Saga 3 - Dredge Loot
The Banner Saga 3 - Varl Loot
The Banner Saga 3 - Human Loot
The Banner Saga 3 - Troll Ward
The Banner Saga 3 - Kickstarter Bonus
The Banner Saga 3 - HyperRPG Heraldry

Finally, even though the deluxe edition content is included for Standard Editions on Steam, why doesn't it show up as owned in the game's store page?

Which items, heroic titles, heraldries etc., can be obtained by playing the game if you don't own the DLCs? Can the Dredge Ally pack things be obtained for people who haven't pre-ordered? What about all the things in the Kickstarter backer bonuses section and the Legendary edition things?

Thanks for taking the time to write all this down. Will forward this to devs & publishers for a response.

Appreciate it man!

I know all this is complicated (and gamers naturally tend to "optimize" ), so hopefully we can get a "once and for all"-type answer here, and use your thread as a reference (pin it even).

God, I certainly hope so, I asked a while back and one of the Devs responded, that made it even more confusing. He said items can be accessed in the game (e.g. the golden wasp), but then he said the Dredge Ally Pack wasn't included and then he said heroic titles were seperate and I just got confused to what's included lol.

- Excusive Dredge Heraldy - ?! missing

I restart Steam 4 times. Nothing.

This problem persists (Excusive Dredge Heraldy missing), along with not having registered the DLCs on Steam.

I want to buy the DLC of the legendary edition, but it forces me to buy back the DLC of the deluxe edition, which I'm supposed to have, if I want to use the discount of 33% of the Stoic bundle.

I preordered the legendary edition, but in the store page the deluxe and legendary DLC's are not shown as owned. Is that supposed to happen?

Could someone please specify the names of the items? Especially those in B and H to check if they are actually available somwhere in game.

I've seen their stream on Twitch. They're giving away codes for it during their sessions !

[Lex]

Oh, so hard to get a game with 100% of content these days...

Still, if you have any interest in pen & paper role-playing, I suggest you watch it ! It'll only be 4 sessions, and as someone with years of experience, I can say they're some of the best at the craft. It's both entertaining and amazing to watch. I just had a hard time swallowing the fact they have a *real* witch in the party, but since Oli is actually mending his axe throws without even noticing, I'm more inclined to believe that's possible.

Guys, as an update to what Giopeppe said -- Most of the "Valve side" DLC issues have been resolved, however some issues might be "Stoic side" too, so these will probably be resolved in the coming patch/hotfix (when the game updates). I'll update when there's more news.

[Lex]

Thanks for the update, Aleo!

I too have no Dredge Heraldry among my DLCs so I just wanna check wether should it be listed there or should I simply find it in-game among other banners? I am unable to spot it there, anyways.
