For what it's worth the "cloth map" of the DOS CE was REALLY a big disappointment and easily the worst cloth map I ever got with any CE. I hope everything the CE offers this time will be of solid quality. Not necessarily spectacular, but at least solid.
As for the price, Stabbey is right. Since the CE is KS exclusive (is it, this time?) the price is not only justified by what it offers but also by funding means. KS is no preorder, as everyone should know by now. Nevertheless though, whatever the CE offers should be of solid quality at least. I think the backers deserver that.
Yes that map was whole reason I really had a lot of second thoughts about getting a CE this time.
Btw, I doubt that the CE will be KS exclusive, the german publisher most likely wants to do a CE edition of his retail version again, they sold very well last time too. What we get is most likely a KS exclusive edition of the CE.
And lastly, I am totally with you: I have no problem paying extra on my pledge to found the game. But I want every item that in the box be worthy of keeping and worthy of being part such a memento. Bad cloth maps, missing dice and recipe cards that are outdated at the day of release are bad. If this happens again then this was indeed my last CE from Larian. I still would buy Larian games, but would mock Larian for eternity about the bad quality of their collector editions.
