Baldur’s Gate 3 is looking to be one of the best games of 2023 in a year already full of some of the best games of the generation. And their stance on microtransactions is great.

“Enjoy the game to its fullest without any additional costs” - I know Larian are one of the good guys in all this but the deluxe DLC does come with in-game stuff that is otherwise unobtainable, so their statement isn’t 100% accurate

It’s pretty tame and they enabled the deluxe pack to preorders which was cool. Nothing in the list is Earth shattering.

Divinity Bard Song Pack.

PC or PS5 Dice Skin.

Paintings from Rivellon collection.

Adventurer’s Pouch collection (supplies and potions to get you started)

Digital soundtrack for Baldur’s Gate 3 from composer Borislav Slavov.

Digital Artbook.

I don’t disagree it’s anything earth shattering but it does make their statement open to being disputed… I guess my other concern would be if it’s a slippery slope but there’s no evidence of that with Larian (so far).

It’s literally a day 1 DLC. “No additional costs” is quite a stretch indeed.
