The only thing I´ve been a bit disappointed with so far is that the shop I bought it from didn´t get the advertising for the collectors edition right, it differs from country to country so no wolf medaillon or card game for me (German edition). On the other hand, I found a Nightwish promo video disc behind the game disc in the sealed case that wasn´t advertised on the box anywhere, so thumbs up for that ;D
I´m from Brazil, I'm happy already if it comes with the DVD and if the DVD works... and if it doesn't, it'd be a miracle if they exchanged it...lol.. kiddin'; there's no promo edition here.. just the box n' disc.

But please, stop the smack talking about Oblivion. If you don´t get the point of a game where you are given the freedom to follow whatever path you may want to tread on with relatively few limits, you may just have to accept that it isn´t a game meant for you. That doesn´t make it a bad game though, I logged more thatn 600 hours playing Morrowind and Oblivion, but then again, I spent countless months playing Elite and its sequels (Frontier, First Encounters).
Sorry for the Oblivion Smacking; I was actually unburdening from another post where someone else said how the game was good and worth their money and TW not. I was calmer then so I said how it is indeed just a matter of personal taste. Some people (like you) liked it and enjoyed it for hours, I can't play 40 seconds into the game without it boring the heck out of me.. (I can't even start to think how a peasant woman can block my sword blows with bare arms.. and I don't mean dodge it, but actually BLOCK it as if she had adamantium skin... and punch my big n' strong nordman through shield, armor and helmet... afff.. better stop..). And I've bought all the Oblivions expansions and downloaded everything there was to download as I desperate attempt to make the game more interesting for me... Ok now, if people didn't like TW why have all the trouble of joining the community, creating a profile and post on the forums to whine about the game??? I mean, I don't go to Bethesda's site to "smack" and complain about their game, I don't even know if there is an Oblivion forum. So you bought a game you didn't like, so what? Happens all the time, you spend your hard-earned money into a game you can't play, well.. download a pirate version before buying then... otherwise.. TOO BAD! It happens, Bethesda is not going to change Oblivion no matter how much I whine about it, and they are not giving me any refunds or any game for free (they could gimme a discount on Fallout 3 though.. buying all Oblivion's stuff was expensive... guess not..). Obsidian is done with NWN2, the most they can do is release other Expansions, but won't change the fact the game would be even less playable if you couldn't edit the XML files to at least change the GUI.So you didn't like TW (not YOU You, but.. whoever didint like it), well.. again, too bad, that's the game they released it, they won't change it!..... Oh wait! No.. this time is different, the devs actually heard your whining and tried to fix everything you didn't like about it, not only that, they included new material in it.. and they gave you for free since you already bought their original game!!! Where else have you seen this done? They could just go on releasing hundreds of patches that fix some bugs and creates another ten.. that's the common rule isn't it? At least for the other games we've seen.., NWN2 has so many patches you have to download, it feels you are downloading the rest of the game they forgot to release.SO.. Not liking the game is fine, it happens, but to criticize CDPR for their work? They are showing a damn lot of consideration; besides the free EE, look at their website, it's all complete, easy to find and download patches, a free browser game (that I find a great pass time, surfing the web, reading emails.. and just fighting other people.. lol.. good thing I don't take it too serious since I lose 10 out of 7 ??? matches in that thing.. lol ); news always up to date, costumer support through the forums which they actually show up to answer.. c' mon.. they have done a great job and deserve credit for that. People whining "it's the least they can do!! To give it for free..".. well.. no, it isn't, the least they could do is release dozens of patches to fix bugs.. otherwise, if you didn't like the game.. well....As another great example, see Bioware, with their support to NWN for years after the game, they still release extra modules and other add-ons to the game, and their website is also great with supporting material.Again, I was a little pi**ed off with people whining how they SHOULD get the EE for free and how CDPR was lousy at releasing TW, I didn't get anything from the companies of which games I wasted money on and didn't like, and I doubt any has.. If you go to a movie and don't like it, no one is giving you refunds for that.. not the theaters, neither the producers.. neither the actors.. The author of a book is not paying you back if you don't like his story is he? So.. don't take it personally, great that you got your money's worth in Oblivion and I apologize for "smacking" it so much...
