Some people will claim that expansions are larger than DLCs but I think your guess is right. It's true that since we started using "DLC" rather than "expansion" a lot of add-on content has become smaller, but I suspect this is mostly due to the economic viability of selling smaller packets of content then there being a meaningful distinction between the two.

Sure, but it's kinda clear that that's not what Obsidian are doing here. My point was mainly that "revenue raising tool" is a dumb criticism of DLC, not that there aren't companies that are extremely dodgy in the way they deal with DLC. Potential? Haven't you learnt yet. Negative means "doesn't agree with MG".

Yeah no. Some aspects of game development are finished earlier than others, so the people working on those aspects can start working on DLC before the game is released. This doesn't mean the DLC is cut content. As for them being a revenue raising tool: of course they are. Obsidian is a business, they both want and need to raise revenue.

Pre-order - Beta
JerekKruger replied to tfraley's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Pre-ordering has never given beta access. Even backing didn't guarantee it (you had to back at a high enough tier or pay extra for beta access). As others have said, you're not missing much. The beta isn't the full, incomplete game: it's a tiny slice of the game designed to allow players to test combat and mechanics. -

If you're actually getting 100Mb/s all the time then just over 45 minutes. EDIT: assuming you meant 35 gigabytes and 100 megabits per second. Technically you've written gigabits (well actually not even that, since the G should be a capital) and microbits per second -
I think that anyone who holds a particular ideology strongly enough can become a Paladin. I don't think you need to sign up to a preexisting Paladin Order. The existence of orders for the player character was, probably, a consequence of needing some way to govern favoured and unfavoured dispositions. So, for example, the Iron Flail Paladins may not belong to an order at all, they may simple be very strong believes in Adaryc's vision. EDIT: I might be wrong about this. The description on the wiki states that "[Paladins] can be found in any culture where a fanatical group of like-minded individuals have formed a warrior society dedicated to advancing their cause." which suggests they are (typically at least) part of organised groups.
