Meh, I can dig it. I mean, Rit & Assassins are the new Professions for the Chapter, it makes sense they get something special...

of course, this means I'll want to make a Ritualist AND Assassin. Which blows my extra slots right there. Sigh.

I am disappointed there won't be a bonus third slot. I thought that was a no-brainer.

Mordakai · Mar 09, 2006, 03:05 PM // 15:05

So, looks like no bonus slot, guys.

Not really that odd (if it's true). If these ingames were for all professions, the devs would need to work on enhanced dances for the new professions each time a new chapter came out.

Backup dancers, kewl!

Yeah, this sounds really cool.

I can't wait until everyone asks "How did you do that?"

I can confirm that Aus/NZ will be stocking the CE for Factions. The numbers will probably be limited, however, so you'll want to either preorder or get to your store early; I believe there will be enough for a few copies per store (depending on how EB decide to distribute the CE amongst their stores).

Well gameplay.co.uk here i com

the pre-order items will be for the ass n rit.. however the ingame item will not be locked to that.. And since i see NO news on the official website i will not believe anything listed by any retailers.

That's also my concern. I hope they will expand it to all professions, then I will definitely buy the CE. It would be so cool for my existing characters to have backup dancers.

Scutilla · Mar 09, 2006, 04:25 PM // 16:25

I'd take the info with a grain of salt- another site posted CE contents a while back, and it's since been shown that they were in error (for example, they said that you would get one character slot more than the standard edition). I'd wait til the info is officially confirmed.

yeah.

I wouldnt mind even if the other 6 core profs got at least the same generic backup dancers. but if this is accurate, then they get left out.period.

and agrees w/ Mordakai. If I purchase the CE, I would definitely need to make a 'sin/rit just to get the dances. hehe.

/o'well.

Phrozenflame · Mar 09, 2006, 05:36 PM // 17:36

So i have made my preorder on eb games but i dont see any reference on the items and all the preorder contenent so can you please point me out if im gona get this preoder package or not.

Kool Pajamas · Mar 09, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

They have it listed now. I waited until I saw it listed to order mine. I dont know if you will get it or not. I assume yes, but I would look more into it to make sure.

Zehnchu · Mar 09, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

Gamestop has updated their web site, they now show the correct package for the pre-order package and the Collectors Edition (CE). I also called and made sure that I was getting this package, they said that the bonus pack will be here by the 12th and the full version will be shipped at a later date.

So if you pre-ordered threw Gamestop you will get the bonus pack some time this week or next week. But to be sure you have the correct one ordered call and make sure or change your order.
