I find I must apologize for my original post. It was a little confusing though on the price. I clicked on the preorder and it took me to Larian's page where I clicked on preorder again. It took me to the collectors edition with the price of $259. There were no other options that I could see, so I figured that was the price they were asking. I have since then seen the $60 price on steams page.
Somebody asked for me to define myself. I will try to do that with as little information as possible. Let me start by saying I have probably been playing games on my computer since the early 80s, probably before most of you were born. I'm trying to remember the first game I played but at my age that is a little difficult. I think it was a DND game, either that or the bards tale. I played this game on my Commodore 64 which again is probably older than most of you on this board. And in this same time frame I discovered muds and I played those for a few years I believe my first online game was again called Ultima online. I played that game for several years and was a senior counselor for at least two years. I ended my association with Ultima online after engaging in a heated argument with Richard Garriot about starting a PVE server and was told that would never happen with Ultima online. It was just about that time EverQuest made its debut and I instantly fell in love with that game. I played EverQuest for many years the last two years of which I was a senior guide on the Brislebane server. I was senior guide Elindill. I'm not going to list all the games I have played since then, for that would take the next couple of pages.
I play Baldurs gate on steam. I've had that game for very long time. I don't remember where I first got it I also do not remember how much I paid for when I first got it. I don't think it was published by Larian back then
