This is one example of a "I neeeed to buy this" kind of game. Drool.

Anyway, I'm a sucker for collector's editions and having stuff to put on my shelf. If not, I would buy every single game from GoG, but hey. I was about to pre-order Pillars of Eternity. But I can't decide with certainty how collector's items are going to be included.

I seem to understand - correct me if I'm wrong - that the physical disks of the game are not yet to be released, but several collector's edition items are released along with the digital copy of the game on the release date. Does that mean that I'm better off waiting for purchase (sorry GoG!) if I want a complete CE? Or should I get the Hero edition and scrape together CE items? Or will it just be easier to go for the more complete digital editions if I want collector's goodies and be happy enough with having extra content digitally, so I at least can play the game ASAP?

Sorry for the confused questions, I'll try to clarify if necessary :-)

1st: The Collectors-Edition is Backer-Exclusive. Sorry about that, but it was the way Obsidian decided to go!
2nd: There ARE physical collectors items, yes! And there is a boxed copy...
3rd: ...but that one only includes a Steam-Key!

Personal recommendation: Get the game on GOG and buy some of the Collectors Items that are NOT included in the Backer CE and hope to be able to pick up a backers CE on Ebay one day! :D

Hi,

By now I did some research and I had already figured it all out myself. I pre-ordered the normal Hero edition and I will see whether I'll still pick up some collector's items or not. For now I'm just glad I can almost download the game client :)

Thanks for your reply, sorry for wasting your time a bit, I'll still mark it as the solution if there are others with the same question!

Not a waste of time, I´m sure some others might have similar problems...
