Gamers and Star Wars fans. Never content, and pathologically unable to reach a consensus on any information relating to their chosen interest... (OK - big rash generalization, but you get my drift.)

"Free" stuff is good, and I've always been a sucker for the cosmetic loot options. May is only about a month and a half away.

Question on the wording there. If I decide to purchase the deluxe edition AFTER release, does the preorder items for the standard edition (unique nomad skin, deep space explorer armor etc) automatically come with the deluxe edition? Even if I don't preorder it?

Stop pre-ordering people. Your only perpetuating this crap. Your giving a giant thumbs up and nod of approval to these publishers saying its a-ok to carry on these greed driven, ripoff practices. And it effects all us gamers who dont preorder. Its not cool man.

All minor stuff. Not really missing much in terms of a pre-order if you choose not to do that.

People can preorder whatever the eff they want, its their money, their choice.

Also why are people bitching about free content? Who cares if it comes out in a month or 9 months? Its literally just an outfit, a nomad skin and a booster. Chill dudes

Damn right, you should be scared of me.

Just not a fan of it.

Could the "odd" timing of the new bonuses hint at a timeline for the first DLC? You know they've probably got it in the oven right now ready to go.

Is there an average time between release and initial DLC release for AAA games?

I feel like if Bioware announced the game would be free people would still somehow find something to complain about. Probably the facial animations.

They would probably complain about the price and find someway to link it to how insecure BioWare is after "destroying their franchise".

That would be early. ME3 and DAI were both around 5 months for the first sp dlc.

Possibly to tie in with the first mp map pack?

People who bought the Standard Edition complaining they're not getting free content? Boo-fuckin-hoo. If you want superficial extras, should've splashed out an extra £5 for the Deluxe Edition.

If they follow the ME3 MP DLC path, that would be the second MP DLC. ME3 released in March, first DLC was in April and the second in May.

However, the first DLC just added weapons and characters, which I believe we have more of at launch this time around. So it may wind up being May for the first DLC this time. I wonder how long it will take them to add the inevitable platinum difficulty?

Speaking of the deluxe edition, do we know anything about the pathfinder elite weapon set? The deluxe edition (or was it preorder?) weapons in ME3 were some of my favorites in the entire game. Have we received any info about this new set?

For people who like pre-order bonuses and are salty about this, why do it so early? A pre-order made the day before release is the same as on made 2 months in advance. If I pre-order a game, I only ever do it day-before, usually because there's a discount on a game I know I'll buy anyway. Why do it before you have more information when there is literally zero reason to do so?

It's not that I'm complaining, I mean I'm getting the damn content.

It's just that exclusive content given to a select group who jumped through a bunch of preorder and deluxe hoops and never released to the rest as DLC is a process I hate.

The problem is that if it's not released to other people as DLC, that's really unfair to the rest of the fans.

And even something like a Complete Edition is unfair to the people who bought the standard game today instead of waiting a year later.

According to them, that "Pathfinder Elite weapon" set is supposed to have 4 unique weapons. It doesn't really tell us much more then that :|
