Lucas Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Not to diminish the value of the rest of the "extras", but I would like to congratulate everyone involved in the creation and writing of the Collector's Guide (as you might know, you can also order a physical copy on Amazon, beside obtaining the digital version). I consider it a labour of love constantly shown throughout the pages, and at least as good as, for example, the Forgotten Realms handbook from the D&D 3.5 era . Hopefully other owners will agree with me. I think it really deserves a "praise" thread like this 1 "The Price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance" - Wing Commander IV
ioerror Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I'm considering ordering a physical copy off of Amazon, I'm guessing it would be worth it?
The Tallest Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I've been eyeing the Collector's Edition guide since yesterday. I just pulled the trigger. I wish InXile would make a guide for Wasteland 2. Edited March 27, 2015 by The Tallest
AndrewD2 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I was waiting to see what the PDF looked like since Wednesday and after looking through it I decided I wanted a nice hard cover on the shelf too. It'd be nice if they could get us codes for the Dark Horse Digital app too, but that's ok.
Lucas Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 I'm considering ordering a physical copy off of Amazon, I'm guessing it would be worth it? I think the digital version will suffice for the vast majority of us that are interested in the game lore (you can always print it) beyond the Cyclopedia entries ; purchasing the book is taking it a step further, especially if you like good old fashioned paper (but the whole book looks quite colourful and pleasing to look at).

dancingcrab Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Just out of curiosity, are you referring to the Prima Collector's Edition Guide or the Guidebook, Volume 1 (by Dark Horse)? The Dude abides.

ToolofIsis Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 It is indeed pretty nice, even though I have noticed incomplete or wrong information in the first steps of the walkthrough.
Bryy Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah. Reading about how they charted the friggin' orbit of the Moons.
Lucas Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 It is indeed pretty nice, even though I have noticed incomplete or wrong information in the first steps of the walkthrough. That's the Prima Strategy guide, not the Dark Horse Collector's Guide I'm talking about "The Price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance" - Wing Commander IV
PrimeJunta Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah, I dig it also. The lore is supremely well thought-out, much more "relatable" than in any fantasy cRPG I can think of off the top of my hat. Gods that actually relate to human concerns, imagine that! (The prose could've used another editing/proofreading pass though, but it's eminently forgivable given the constraints.) I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress.

Entarion Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I pre-ordered physical copy of Guidebook, got it yesterday and it is beautiful. It is great to play for a few hours then pause and read a few more lines of lore. I also ordered Prima Guide. Wish they did physical Almanac with leather binding, too.
