Quick genuine question, what features are "roped off"? I know it's not fast travel, cause that's extremely cheap (like 200 gold max) and can take you to places you haven't been yet. Is it the character editor? I belive that can be bought with RC in game though, which is a currency that's earned in game as well. Which features are sequestered in DLC?
For me, it's that a single player focused game should never have paid consumables. Either I'm paying for additional content or it's a rip off.
But the consumables are also purchasable with (easily) obtainable in game currency as well? This is like getting mad at a final fantasy game if they have a DLC that has 5 potions included, like they're not in the shop in the first city.
Okay, if it's so easy to earn, why have it be a paid dlc at all? Maybe just include it in every version of the game?
It is in every version of the game, just not in your inventory from the get go. There's nothing in the DLC that's not obtainable in just the first few hours of the game.
Then why make it a paid dlc and instead why not include it from the get-go?
It is included in every version of the game. And it is clear you are arguing a point you are not even informed about, joining in the misinformation spreading about a game that is actually pretty fun to play.
No it is not included, you have to make in-game money to unlock it. So why not include everything from the start? You can also pay money to have everything from the start, so this doesn't track
