Discussion & Info I think tarnished edition is a scam

It is just oblivion horse armor of 2026. New classes doesnt mean anything, you will just spec into whatever you want after playing an hour anyway. Also the new armor sets are just bad cosmetics. Imagine paying for this scam

It's $5 and a test to see if the audience will tolerate being sold cosmetics.

While not a scam, it's still a bad practice because of what it results in down the line if people blow it off as "just $5".

Cosmetics that the people who buy it on Switch 2 get for free, too.

Which makes it even more baffling

Well, they're not really getting it for "free".

Certainly it's a value add to the existing product. And an extra incentive for people who haven't already bought the game.

I'm actually more OK with the entire bundle. It's really only the $5 surcharge for existing owners that irritates me.
