Because there are no girl nerds AMIRITE GAIS!
Uhh isn't the game inside the Steel Bookcase? Why are people saying it doesn't include the game?
Anyway last I bought a collectors edition of anything was for ME2, nice enough I guess, but should of gone digital(was that even an option?) First real collectors edition I bought was Morrowind, not work it at all. Shitty paper map that was all folded and creased and a rinky dink figurine that was about 2 inches tall and looked like it was partially melted.

Pretty much sums up videogames.
Like someone said, artwork or a kickass dragon statue would be better.
I imagine you'll be able to pick this up 4 months after launch for 1/2 the price because stores will want to clear their shelves.

It honestly coulda came with better stuff. I wouldn't have a need for all those. A statue woulda been nice or it coming with the previous two games.
That is precisely what i said, word for word, lets have a giant argument here about something that is unrelated to the topic all because you did not understand a joke! Am i rite?

EA is the only company I'll buy physical PC copies of games anymore. If they ever dropped Origin support in future I'd at least still be able to crack my discs and play my games.
Mass Effect 3 was the only game I've done this for, but it's also the last EA PC game I've bought. Dragon Age 3 MIGHT be the first EA game I've bought in a year.

Bloodborne is shit
It's almost like they make these things to generate a higher profit margin than the regular editions.
Do you think a publisher would do that? Just go and sell worthless trinkets to their fans?

On the plus side, if you get good at using those lockpicks you could recoup your costs pretty quickly.

How does it feel thinking you are so funny and witty and then random gaffer #55 beats you to the punch?

I guess a dragon statue would be too Skyrim like.
Was going to get a CE but not with these items in it. Origins did it best: Steelbook, cloth map, $10 premium.
These things have nothing to do with the franchise. No dragon stuff, no Fade stuff, no darkspawn. Kind of sucks that with all the concept art and screenshots they can't even make an art book. Only the map makes sense.

Me .. I loved both games .. Played through them multiple times. I love collectors stuff to so I will get this.
Why shouldn't I is the question?

$170 should get me a copy of Dragon Age 4 as well.
To you and anyone else buying this, do you just like the series a lot, or do you like swag and or do you have shelves/room where you display your gaming related trinkets? I always wondered what people do with this stuff. I know a lot of people have their gaming rooms full of figurines and posters and shelves with boxes and cases, but does everyone who buys this stuff do that, or are they like most people and fiddle with it for a couple weeks maybe have it on display on their desk for a bit and then pack it up and leave it in a closet for 8 years and forget about it.

Too rich for my blood. If I'm paying $169 for a special edition that better include a significant amount of in-game content that will never be made available for people who don't buy that edition.

Does it come with the game? lol
I hate these type of CEs. I don't need all this extra crap.
I like smaller, more reasonable price CEs like the one Dark a Souls 1, Dragon Age Origins, Mass effect, Tomb raider, etc. had. We need more of those not this junk.
Just give me an art book, steel book case, maybe some DLC for 79.99.

Don't think of it as an assortment of overpriced nerd toys - think of it as an investment in keeping your virginity intact.

For a physical special edition of a game, just give me a nice steelbook case, an art book, maybe a soundtrack and the cloth map.
Once you start tossing in cards and figurines and fake coins... it just seems like they went to some manufacturer and got a list of stuff they could mass manufacture for cheap.

Bioware has a significant heavily devoted fanbase and it makes sense to have a ridiculous offering like this just for them. It's not for the rest of us, it's for the Bioware Social Network type of people that REALLY love their games.

Especially considering no matter how much you pay you still won't get the full game because they will still release 50 dlc's each one adding a minor quest.

You guys. lol
You know, even though this is expensive and I am not likely to get it, it's a lot more compelling to me as a CE than others I've seen in the past.
Usually an art book (insulting amount of pages and print quality usually), soundtrack CD, and statues are near garbage to me. At least you could actually use some of these items. Like a sketchbook! Ink! Chest!
Tarot cards are also like an art book, but even better because they are like 72 mini postcards with added symbolism and stuff you can do with them.

Pretty much why I can't just go ahead and buy this. I already know I'm buying any CE of Witcher 3 since...I bought like 3 CE of Witcher 2.

I'm pretty tempted by this. But... when I think about it... what am I even going to do with all that stuff? Look at it once and place it back in the box?
