I know its been awhile and ive been looking but noone seems to be pressing the issue. I remember Trent promising those of us who pre ordered "a little something extra" or something like that, when the game was delayed. I was wondering is their anything? or are we just supposed to pretend the comment was never made? Im not too mad seeing as i love baldurs gate enhanced but I am a little bothered and was seeing if anybody knew anything about this. Thanks

    Pre-order people aren't getting anything... at least nothing exclusive. Turns out what they meant to say was that everyone would be getting some free content. What that is, I have no idea.

    I think it was three more months of waiting for underwhelming new content and a buggier BG that was already enhanced for free by mods :P

    Phil clarified a while ago that the comment Trent made back in September was not meant to suggest that the "something special" would be exclusive to pre-orders. As for what it will be specifically, nothing's been announced, except that it will be in the form of two in-game features that were not previously planned. I don't know what those features are, but they should be pretty cool.

    Perhaps a "I preordered and all I got was this lousy badge" badge? ;P

    In all seriousness, I do look forward to the two in-game features that Aosaw mentioned (although, is there really any relation to that and a special goody in light of the release delay?... my guess is he was hoping those as yet unannounced features would be ready by Nov. 28th... anyway, still looking forward to them regardless!)

    Thank goodness there won't be any exclusive offers. That's an evil trend in the gaming industry, I'd love to see go away one day. I rather see games where their playerbase isn't diluted between "have's" and "have's not" for the simple reason they bought the game before it was launched.

    Let exclusive content be the domain of expansions and DLCs, where a player can "have or not" based on a more pure purchasing decision based on a finished, reviewed and readily accessible product.

    And it would be unfair to all OSX/Linux/iOS/Android owners to give anything extra for the windows preorders as they just couldn't preorder and are still, in all but the iOS case, waiting for a release to their OS. And before anyone has the bright idea to think I only say that because I'm one of the former, look at my badges. I'm one of the early windows preorderers.
