Baldur's Gate 3 - Digital Deluxe Edition DLC on Steam

The Digital Deluxe Edition includes both practical and cosmetic in-game items, such as a unique custom dice skin and the Mask of the Shapeshifter from Divinity: Original Sin 2. As well as the Original Game Soundtrack for Baldur's Gate 3, digital Artbook and printable pre-made Origin character sheets...

Wow 😔😢 I knew it was too good to be true
Ive had a look at the supposed Day 1 DLC. Its mainly cosmetics and crossover items from Divinity Original Sin 2.
I know this is a bit different and I also know Larian and their games, but the “it’s only cosmetics” DLC stuff also gets very heavily criticized by a lot of people because, “they could have put it in the base game” or something. I don’t really care about cosmetic DLC’s, but a lot of people do. Horse armor yada yada, you know the drill.
I’ve always viewed Digital Delixe thru the lens of a collectors edition without the $200 statue. Horse armor is how we got to $20 for a skin in Overwatch. They aren’t entirely unrelated but are genuinely different product categories.
I mean what if Skyrim had locked Dragonbone (or whichever) armor behind a 10$ paywall. Sure, it wouldn’t be 100% necessary to beat the game, but it would still suck.
I have never really played Skyrim. Is that a cosmetic armor? If so, I wouldn’t really care about it.
It’s not. It’s the best armor in the game.
Then it’s not really a good argument
