Not for Dragon Knight Saga, as that includes both the original and Flames of Vengeance.

You do need the original if you're just looking at grabbing the expansion (Flames of Vengeance).

FOV is an expansion pack for Div 2 ED. It is only useful for owners of Div 2 ED. And is only recommended if you want to continue your current saves from Div 2 ED. It contains only SOME of the changes and additions that are available in Div 2 DKS.

It does not contain them all as some of the changes, rebalancing, etc., break the save games from Div 2 ED.

Div 2 DKS is the rebalanced version of Div 2 ED with the addition of the FOV content. It's the recommended version to get if you don't have Div 2 ED or if you don't mind starting over (if you do own Div 2 ED).

While a promise of a patch for owners of Div 2 ED and FOV has been made, there is no ETA on when such a patch will turn up. As such, owners of Div 2 ED on Steam or GamersGate get the option of a 33% (or so) discount off the price of Div 2 ED.

Not sure how many here would enjoy a game like this, but while browsing Amazon's PC Game (Core) downloads found quite a few great deals in there, along with this one.

I am a huge fan of Pirates and other trading / ship battle fan, but East India Company is EXTREMELY repetitive and boring. I don't know for the expansions - I never wanted to acquire them given that I shelved EIC after maybe 5 hours of play (which were not even fun).

I respect your opinion on the game, and sorry you didnt like it, but truth is thats your opinion and doesnt mean that someone else wouldnt like it. All i can suggest otherwise for anyone interested is to download the demo and try it. I bought it after playing the demo and honestly i love it.

Does it have multiplayer?

nope

What lackoo said, but it's got pretty good replay value after Exar added the Blood Race mode. Blood Race really doubles the value of the game.

How could you buy from GFW Live?, i still find way to buy games from Live. Next Monday i will get a new visa card (my old expired) so i still don't test this:
I intend buy Xbox points from amazon:

Could I buy from GFW Marketplace with IP from region-not-supported by Microsoft points?

/ps: region restricted for buyingMicrosoft points from Amazon

For that price, worth testing out the service.

Thanks.
Wow, it is like GfWL is going out of its way to NOT advertise this crap. Nothing on the front page, no way to search, had to manually find Bioshock.

Impulse Deal:

Nifty, but I am content with GalCiv2.

Would suggest people wait for an impulse deal on GC2 as well.
