Hello,
I haven't managed to find an answer to the upgrade to Collector's Edition from Early Access (Digital Deluxe Edition) will be handled. From what I've found the only difference is Collector's Edition Dice Skin. So how will I be able to get it if I already own EA version of the game on my steam account?

You are correct that the only difference between the game you get to play from the CE versus the Digital Deluxe edition you'd get a free upgrade to as an Early Access player is the CE-specific dice skin. The bulk of the value (and presumably cost) of the CE is all the physical stuff it comes with.

As far as I'm aware, it's not possible to buy all that physical stuff without also getting a Steam (or PS5) key for the game along with it, and correspondingly there's no discount on the CE for EA purchasers. That is, there is no upgrade path from early access to CE, so if you want the latter you'll just have to purchase it and end up with two copies of the game.

It has been a bone of contention for some, I know, but I believe that remains Larian's position so we just need to decide whether or not to buy the CE on the basis of it. You can always contact them directly (details of how to contact their support team can be found on their website) if you have any remaining uncertainty.

I didn't explain myself correctly. I bought EA and played it for quite some time. When CE was announced I also purchased that. I have no regrets about that.

I am trying to discover how I will get the Collector's Edition Dice Skin if everything else is the same between Digital Deluxe and Collector's Edition. I would hate to miss out on that just because I bought the game twice. That feels like a punishment for spending more money.

You will get a separate code for the dice skin you can add to your account.😊

So this is kind of a dumb question. I almost hate to ask.

What's with dice skin?

Like you mean the dice that's rolled in the game looks different?

Is that something people care about?

It is in the Early Access FAQ: https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=677277#Post677277

For those buying the Collector’s Edition, how will the digital content be delivered?
For the Steam copy of the game, the digital content will be provided in three separate keys:
- Baldur's Gate 3 key
- Digital Deluxe Upgrade key
- Collector's Edition Dice Skin key
For the PS5 copy of the game, all digital content will be delivered with one single key.

Yep, what Icelyn said! Sorry I misunderstood your question, Innil!

And JandK, yes that's what I believe it means though I'm not sure either. We should get one for Digital Deluxe PC as well so I guess we'll find out. I don't imagine it's something that folk would pay a lot for all by itself, but I think it'll be fun to be able to mix up the visuals a little. And given having lots of fancy dice seems to be a big thing in parts of the TT community from various folk I follow, they may well appreciate the ability to collect different dice in BG3 too grin

I see, so it's like a cute aesthetic type thing. Thank you.
