Manawyddan: Hi everyone,
If we are backers, do we get the digital extras on GOG aswell listed on our account, after adding/claiming the game with the key provided by InXile/Crowdox?
Or do we only get the digital copy of the game, and all the other extras, digital items, via links for download via email from InXile/Crowdox?
Just querying because right now i only have the game(only for Windows) available for download!!
Thank you very much,
Sixwire: I haven't heard anything, but I have to say, I feel like they really messed up on this one. It seems like no matter what version people have bought on both GOG and Steam they're having to go through this insane digital redemption process, when both platforms have the ability to add DLC directly (and tie it to your account, so... you can find it in the future). They are getting shredded in the steam reviews because of it, and it's too bad, because the bit of the game I've played has been very fun. Just a bad decision all around. Hopefully they can still add all the digital DLC permanently to Steam/GOG accounts moving forward and redeem this foul-up.
Today I got my email for the extras from InXile, and one of those is the "Four Rewards Card". It has you code and instructions on how to redeem. (I'm having an issue at this point, but that's not important)
As to the items themselves, this puts them in the game. From someone elses play stream I saw that the ax, firehorn, and bardic brian's boot chest are in the adventurers guildhall when you get there. I've seen someone else post that the redboots are in the plaza somewhere. Sure, this isn't the same as starting with them in your inventory, but they are in game and you will get them very soon if you just play and look around a bit.
This has been done with other games before, so I certainly didn't expect so many people to be so surprised by it.
Hope this helps :)
