I was torn about using Steam, D2D, Impulse, or retail. I would prefer just to download the digital version, but potential  problems with patches, modding, etc, make me hesitant (I have bought games I don't care as much about in the past this way though).

However, not only did I find out today that D2D is doing preloading (although apparently Steam is now saying the same, but not publicly), but they are also offering the full Official 300+ Prima Game Guide (pdf version), which they sell for $24.95 for only $5 extra if you pre-order the game. I don't usually buy the game guides, but for a game seemingly as complex as this with various character builds, party builds, "grey" decision paths, I am interested in the guide so I am explore the game from every aspect.

This sold me.

preloading, do you mean pre-ordering cause if that is so then i pre-ordered on oct 23rd

aww most people have pre-ordered by now, I think...that would have probably sold me on the seller as well. Guides are a lot of fun, but usually not til the second playthrough so you can see all you missed without spoiling anything.

No. Its when you pre-LOAD the game; ie, it installs 99.99% of the game so when its released you only need to download .01% and get the game in seconds rather than wait for it to install.

My god, i didn't think people came this idiotic.

The guide isn't a "true" PDF, it can only be read with Adobe's Digital Editions program, which is a piece of blight. I made the mistake of buying a PDF from them and thank goodness it was only $5 since after trying to read it once I totally gave up on it. There was simply no way to have it comfortably viewable as I could with a normal PDF.



There's a reason it's only $5 more and that reason is Digital Editions.

Hey, retard - not every one of us regularly pre-order games and especially not from online suppliers. Pipe down.

I'ld did the same thing as you and it really was a disaster trying getting anything usefull from the Adobe's DE thing. paying the extra 20$ for a paper guide is a lot more useful than getting the DE guide provided by D2D

If your going to have to tab out to use the strategy guide it makes it pointless to have, let alone pay for. The only way I could justify paying for a guide is if it was in my hands as a book, otherwise therell be a plenthora of online sources within hours of release.

Not counting the fact that if you need to use a guide then you should go play Hello Kitty, and all it will do is spoil any form of story exploration and all youll be doing is dungeon crawling.

True, but I would hope most of us can put a prefix and a verb together and understand it for god sakes.

pre = “in advance of,” “early,” “beforehand,” 

load = "to bring (a program or data) into main storage"

Only someone without a 3rd grade education can't figure it out.

Wow, you're an ****. Sometimes companys come up with stupid names for **** that make no sense. Sometimes people are unfamilliar with the concept of digital downloads, why do you give a ****?
