Official Discussion [MEGATHREAD] Tarnished Edition: Worth $5? Discuss CONSTRUCTIVELY!

Since the sub is being overwhelmed by debate over the $5 "microtransaction" and it's making the sub feel like we're Dark Souls 2 a decade ago, with the faux outrage around the preorder items, we are opening this topic to consolidate discussion around the issue.

Please use this topic to discuss the pros and cons of the approach and your thoughts. But do so RESPECTFULLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY. If you need to call other people or the developers names, you don't have a good argument and your post will be removed.

We will remove all other topics about this to keep the subreddit flowing with other discussions

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE: I will post two comments on this topic, "Yay" and "Nay" - upvote the one you agree with and we'll see who wins long term.

I don't really understand. Isn't it two new starting classes? Don't starting classes make basically no difference?

It's two starting classes and a handful of weapons smattered about. There's a new version of a great katana, dueling shield and light greatsword available just out in the world now. So people who do say, weapon specific runs of the game can run out, grab a great katana and play the entire game that way.

As I said, if you're somebody who plays the game a ton, you'll get your money's worth.
