Outward Definitive Edition and Three Brothers DLC

[Vikes546]

So...is the DLC supposed to be included? I ask because I'm at the spot where you're supposed to be able to access Caldera and there's a big ass wall blocking the road. If I got to the game's store page it says the Soroboreans DLC is in my library, but apparently the Three Brothers DLC isn't and requires a purchase (which there's no way in hell I'll be doing).

So what's the deal? Is my DE version of Outward incomplete or something, or is this DLC not included?

Fairly sure it's the only one I have. It's simply called "Outward" in the library scroll list on the left but it says Outward Definitive Edition in the main window.

so you click on it in steam and a little window comes up saying do you wanna play definitive edition or not, right?

If i'm correct, the DE doesn't need 3 Brothers, however, you can only play DE if you have The Soroboreans because one of the things DE does is redistributing this DLC content in the base game regions, most notably corrupted areas, elemental spawns and alchemists selling enchantment items.

And no, 3 Brother isn't included in DE afaik.

[ArchaicReaper]

Did you buy Outward recently or a long time ago? It sounds like you had it before DE released, and without Three Brothers that means you only have the original. If you have the original you need Three Brothers to upgrade to DE. If you purchased the game after the release of DE, launching the game through Steam should give you a prompt to launch DE or original. If you launch through Desktop it will ONLY launch the original.

[Dreamer]

In order to launch DE you need to click the play button from steam library or store pages, the desktop shortcut will not work even if you manually make it a direct shortcut to the DE launch file it still doesn't work. If your main screen where you click new game/continue says definitive edition then you are playing on DE, if it doesn't then you're not. Depending on when you bought the game, depends on if you need to also purchase TTB or not. If you bought it a long time ago then you also need TTB to get DE upgrade. If you bought it after DE released you should own DE.

STOP SPREADING MISSINFORMATION please. you need the tree brothers dlc to be allowed to download the DE for free. not soroboreans. its the other way around from what you said.

the DE DOES NOT EXIST without ALL DLCs INCLUDED. NO EXCEPTIONS. this means soroboreans AND the three brothers. so if someone comes here and claims he doesnt have access despite playing DE he isnt actually playing the DE to begin with.

the tc is not playing the DE no matter what he/she claims here. its really that simple.
as you cannot play the DE and not have full access to ALL dlc areas (mod conflicts excluded here as these are a selfmade problem). and caldera can be accessed at ANY point in time. you can just walk in there from the forest area at any point in time in the game. there is STILL people here claiming you need to finish the story to access caldera which is also missinformation.

Oh really? Is that a fact now? Ok then. Guess you know best.

Judging by the second image you only have the classic version of Outward (and the first DLC). According to some other recent player posts you get the DE as soon as you own the second DLC.
The DE-version is either recognized by having the 'OUTWARD -DEFED DLC' in your Steam Libary (either 'additinal content' or 'properties') or by seeing that 'Definite Edition' on the ingame main screen.


And yes, the DE has both DLC's included / incorporated. You can play both contents but the DLC aren't shown seperatedly. Players that bought Outward after the DE-Release will see the second DLC (TTB) listed seperately - but thats (only) for the also included classic version.
Hope this clears up some misunderstandings ...

Well there's something screwy going on then because I know I bought the DE. This screenshot better illustrates that point (probably should have taken a shot of this part of the page last night but I was sleepy and cranky).

I'll try uninstalling and re-installing it later today when I have a chance I guess but after that I'll probably just give up if it doesn't work. Honestly the game isn't worth this much of a headache.

When and where did you buy it.

My experience with this:

I had a humble bundle key for Outward - basically the OG version. I installed it, Steam told me I had the definitive version, basically because that's the "least" version that exists on Steam really? The Soroboreans read like it was in my Library on the store.

I started playing for several hours, did not get an option to start the Def Ed (didn't know it existed as a separate option). Saved and closed and reopened a few times over a couple of days. Bought Three Brothers on sale, closed and reopened. Got the option for Def Ed. Opened Def Ed, no character - sad face.

So that's a thing that happens. I don't know if it happens if you buy Outward Def Ed now on Steam, or only if you use an old key, but this is how it went down for me.

That's how it works when you use an old key from before DE, yes. If you buy it now you get the whole thing, but that also means you have the option to play the old version without the DLC. And the old version will launch automatically if you run from desktop.

Should be able to convert your Oldward save to DE using the tool located at https://github.com/GymMed/OutwardSaveFixer/releases.
