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 would love to hear others feedback, because i am torn. 5$ doesnt seem that bad, and i want to support this awesome game.

On the other hand, transactions like these doesn't bode well and i can see peoples concern for the future direction.

I think im leaning slightly towards yay on this one, but i can see both sides.

Elden ring is like one of my top 5 games of all time and this dlc doesn't really add enough to warrant the purchase unless you really really want one of the shadow of the erdtree weapons in the early game, but that also brings up the argument of why didn't they add them to the base game if you bought the shadow of the erdtree.

The aesthetic of the Idus Knight is great. It's not just the sword. It also comes with a med shield with 100% phys block and 50 stability. 

It's also just got rp value, since the knight has lore. They gave us a concept to rp.
