Yo... That's not the point. Roping off features that are typically an expected part of a ($70!) game to squeeze more profits from your customers is fucking slimy and greedy. If you aren't angry or at least disappointed by this, you are part of the problem
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.
