Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General D:OS Special DLC

From purely greedy reasons.. :P do I really need to buy "boxed Divinity Anthology"? I already have DKS and DD on Steam (and ED on DVD).

Got BD in cart but just checked if that is not released on Steam as preorder bonus for D:OS (many games do that) and found "special DLC" but it needs voucher code which I don't get (and I think not even for Anthology on Steam as it looks like collection of games I already have).

If you have DKS on Steam, you should now have the Developer's Cut version in your game library. Beyond Divinity is also listed on Steam, in addition to the Divinity Anthology. Was BD itself listed as "special DLC" or was that something else? If the former, then before the official Steam release today BD was probably only available to those who had a code for it (included with the boxed anthology).

Earlier games have not been included as DLC with previous Divinity games, though some retail releases of Beyond Divinity included a copy of Divine Divinity. BD is available from GOG, Steam or the Larian Vault, though.

Speaking of DLC, the codes for D:DC and D:OS items are only included in the retail anthology. However, there was a Chinese New Year promo offer for Dragon Commander DLC early this year. The webpage is still up, so you can try submitting your email address to get in on the deal (as long as you don't mind silver instead of gold). I have not gotten any announcements from signing up (despite leaving the option checked to get updates), so you don't have to worry about getting on any mailing lists, etc.

I meant on this page down there. If it is only meant for boxed anthology. But as you say it is

I thought you may have been talking about something with BD on Steam.

The DLC items in the boxed version of the anthology (see here for a description) were actually only added at the request of one of the retail distributors. See a reply to a comment in the blog post Hatching the Anthology.
FWIW, the DLC item in D:OS 'only' allows you to increase equipment's value by 10%, which may come in handy early in the game, but historically gold hasn't been terribly hard to come by in Divinity games. The items for D:DC (in the anthology and Chinese new year promo) seem to be just cosmetic.
