I can see making some clans like nosferatu or malk part of some dlc as they have so much unique stuff and presumably require a lot of extra development. I don’t imagine that is applicable to toreador though. Also no day one dlc please. If it’s ready at launch, if should be in the base game
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.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean one has to go along with their DLC policy. It’s reasonable to be aligned with such a business model (especially when there is competition in the indie segment that is far more reasonable about DLC than Paradox).
It’s an RPG like the old school one and not some kind of strategy game, right? So you have to pay extra to be, like, a Nosferatu vamp instead of the basic one? That’s wack.
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.
Really hope they move the clans to the base game. I never buy games at launch but if I’m interested enough will at the first sale. This one will heavily rely on reviews though lol

Killing the game before release. That’s a new one. GG Paradox.

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.
It’s not unexpected. Paradox’s business model is basically being DLC happy.
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.

Also often updates to prior DLC content.

Who are you calling basic?
is it really not cheaper to just stop paywalling parts of the game?
I think with all the lost sales and bad PR this will generate, that may be the case.
