Speedrun

True but trying to pull a Capcom on disc dlc in a attempt to normalize it is a bridge too far on a bridge I've already burnt with paradox.

Except that with their other games, each DLC not only adds a bunch of content but also brings with it a significant free update to the base game. So there it's clear that the DLCs fund the base game too.

I think with all the lost sales and bad PR this will generate, that may be the case.

The only similarity with the first game is the setting and the name. The classic White Wolf system has been taken out, there is now a dialogue wheel, and you play as a fixed protagonist. I have also heard the world is a lot less open and the game is more linear.

Who are you calling basic?

DLC should be available before the launch of the game. I personally can't wait to buy skins for a game I can't even play yet.
