As if it didn't take <a href="Http://icewind2.blackisle.com">IWD2</a> long enough to get to Europe, <A href="http://www.rpgdot.com">RPGDot</a> is <a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php#12881">reporting</a> that German buyers are feeling the burn of getting less than what they were promised in terms of additional content. Apparently the cloth map was replaced with a paper one, and the dice are missing, but they got an additional CD that has a whopping five MP3s on it.

Hey, they can't be called Virgin anymore since they love to dick over their customers!

/me listens for rim shot.

..... and the dice are missing...

Well, it was only one step between having the amazingly teeny dice and not bothering anyway.

I've heard some people talking about how small the dice were in the CE. Exactly how tiny were they?

It's not like "nickel dice" (about the size of a nickel) are that expensive, either. If you really want a custom set cast (color, not shape, and with custom print), often is under 50c each or less if you designed them yourself.

I don't think anyone cares too much about the dice, but it really sucks about the whole cloth map and audio cd business, though. I mean, gosh, cloth maps rule and the real audio cd has a whole bunch of tracks from IWD1 and HOW.

Well, audio can be ripped to listen, so it's no big deal. But cloth maps and other real goodies are the best. Good, well-crafted dice are nice to have.

But they ditched the cloth map in lieu of a 5-track CD with what is likely just some of the background music. Not good.
