Book II Disk Version

Post by Faithful »

This has likely been asked already (I looked but could not readily locate it), but could someone please tell me what will be included in the Disk Version of the game?

Thanks

It's a bit hard to fit the cloth map on the disc. :wink:

Right now we are planning on all three versions of the game, the soundtrack (which includes a couple musical cues that did not make it into the game), a high-resolution version of the world map, and a copy of the game's trailer in HD format.

However, we will need to go with a DVD to get this all on the disc. If we go with a CD, we will only be able to fit 2 of the 3 games on there (probably just the Windows and Mac versions, since Linux sales tend to be lower than other platforms).

Thanks for the answer. If it is a problem, you can wrap the disk in the cloth map! :)

A "Making of..." would be great to have included.
A special glow on a weapon would be fairly neat as well.

Thanks again.

I'm having an additionnal question to that :)

As I want to play on Linux, do I have to wait until May 26 to buy the DVD, or can I buy it on May 12, and DVD won't be sent before May 26 (linux version release date) ?

I'm asking because I want the DVD version (I need my box :mrgreen: ), but I also want to be able to play on linux (even if I have windows too).

You can buy a DVD starting May 12. You'll get your Reg Code immediately. The disc will come in June.

Am i correct that the usual moneytransfer/bank thingy works as a payment method? I don't use paypal nor netbank so i'm little out of options here...

And the print of the DVD takes time so it will be delivered at June?

How many DVDs will you "print" for Book 2 ?

Could you also tell us how fast they get sold ?

I ask to know how fast (and not if) I have to decide to buy it in DVD version.

We will make sure that we don't run out of discs this time.

Good, good. Though I won't be able to afford Book II until the 26th anyway. DVD, of course - as I run Windows and Linux, it makes sense to me.

Use a Visa Gift Card (or other bank type).

I use those for almost all of my computer online buying, including Amazon. I never use my credit card and seldom use Paypal. Why? Because my visa card information was stolen a few years ago and a large chunk of change was stolen/used and supposedly used in Germany and Netherlands. Got my money back from the bank when I proved I had been in the hospital at the time and card was with me. :) :(
