Lótus Haddock Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Well, we will be able to explore the Hel and fight a Dragon who even the Gods fear... So cool And to me any expansion is a DLC but not all DLC is an expansion 7 Currently Playing Pillars of Eternity Morrowind Stardew Valley Future Play Deadfire Oblivion The Witcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerekKruger Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Actually, they've called them DLC and expansions in the past. You can still find on Obsidian's website where they call them expansions. Honestly the difference is kinda artificial. An expansion that is downloaded is a DLC. It's just the bad taste left by early DLCs like horse armour that have left a bad taste with the name DLC, but I doubt anyone within the industry sees a difference beyond a PR one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshae Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 if this all they are adding this is an incredibly underwhelming expansion release? So apart from new magic items all we get is a new sidekick and 1 new subclass while at the same time not being able to level up any higher? I can t believe i am seeing this actually happening This is not an expansion, it's a DLC. Different things. You should be thankful it wasn't just horse armor. Err, hang on just a minute. You mean they'd add rideable mounts just to add DLC horse armor? I think I'd buy that. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Boeroer Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 So apart from new magic items [...] we get [...] a new sidekick and 1 new subclass [...]? Yes, awesome isn't it? Also because the whole Seaon Pass costs only as much as White March did when it came out. 3 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DozingDragon Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I am glad they are not raising the level cap, but I hope this content (and the other DLC) will at least scale well for level 20 parties. There is a dearth of suitable high level content in the base game, so here’s hoping the DLC will make up for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) As Alex said in the stream, that first DLC BoW could be made by designers mostly (while the rest of the dev team is still fixing bugs and doing balancing). Raising the level cap would mean new mechanics for new abilites - and this would mean that artists, animators, programmers etc. have to be involved more and so on. WMI raised the level cap from 12 to 14 and WMII from 14 to 16. Maybe in one of the later DLCs we can expect an increase as well - because that might come at a time where resources of programmers etc. are not bound that much anymore. The time between Deadfire --> BoW is a LOT shorter than PoE --> WMI. Just wild guessing though.

esyvjrt Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I was hyped for him being a companion :c. I hope its a sidekick in the sense of no relationship system and no quest, but has a good amount of content, and doesn't feel an incomplete companion and missed opportunity, A little worried about the comedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardusk78 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Only disappointing aspect is the lack of companion aspect. Are we certain that Vatnir is not a companion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneCommander Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 If we play the expansion during the normal game, we will level up. I will do all the quests in my first pt, but if there is too much experience, I'll simply roleplay my way out of certain quests on subsequent pts. Maybe I'll kill pirates on sight for example. The Rymrgand priest will be interesting, even if it needs a mod to be used by the player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the bad taste left by early DLCs like horse armour that have left a bad taste with the name DLC, but I doubt anyone within the industry sees a difference beyond a PR one. I agree that an expansion is a DLC, but I classify it as a large DLC. Like $10 - $15 or more. There's a big difference in tiny $2 DLC and large $20 DLC. I know I've heard CD Projekt Red say in the past that they view DLC and expansions as different. I think they mainly said that because they are sick of other companies releasing dumb little $2 DLCs though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkathellar Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hello) Is it possible for the main character to be the priest of Rymrgand? We don't know, but it'll be super-easy to enable once the DLC hits. If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
