Oh, yes. Remember the color palette changes for the characters? They have 4 colors now, with 100 Baldur Tokens (or 1000 hours of play) to unlock the other ones (one at a time)
If you pre-order, you get a fifth color (shiny ochre), otherwise unavailable and a 'pet' - it's a familiar that doesn't fight, add HP or anything, but others see it and know you're a true player.
-> You only get 3 installations, ever. Period. No matter what. You could petition the company by emailing a non-monitored account to get another installation, but don't bother.
-> DRM included that works great with 99.9% of software. In fact, only conflicts are with:
1) Any anti-malware or anti-virus software 2) Video drivers 3) Operating Systems 4) The game, itself. Oops
Let's not forget the "other" problems with BG being a poorly done MMO and things you would hear in the in-game chat/forums:
- "LFT DurT. 100LP/TD. NO NOOBZ." ("Looking for a Thief for Durlag's Tower run. Must have 100% lockpicking and 100% trap disarm. No new players.") - "You r playin an Enchanter? lulz. Everyone knows they are not crap. Reroll Conjurer, they are OP." - "Why do devz hate WS that much?" - "Kensais nerf bat incoming LOLOLOL" - "BUFF RNGERS!" - "whats your gear level?" - "Wolves in the level 1 area OP! Do something devs or I'm quitting!" - "Sick and tired of this class. I have 1000 hours clocked in Beregost only and I'm quitting." - "Need healer for Nashkell mines. NO DRUIDZ!" - "Selling the Ring of Holiness - 3000gp" - "ugh. the lags on lighthouse map are horrible. too many playerz grinding sirens."
And of course : - "wanna join my guild?" - "wanna join my guild?" - "wanna join my guild?" - "wanna join my guild?" - "wanna join my guild?" - "wanna join my guild?"

Aside from those four, the DRM is flawless.

The amulet of power would cost unimaginable gold in the auction house...
