Because we don't actually know if that is or isn't the case? It might very well be a retcon. We won't know for sure until the book is out.

Yes, this. If the UA had said, "The Purple Dragon Knights originally got their name from a violet-scaled black dragon but have more recently partnered with amethyst dragons" it might have gone down better. I, for one, would have found that more palatable, and I'm not generally a fan of pet classes.

“We don’t want this seemingly retconned version of the Purple Dragon Knight” =/= “We want the old one renamed”. Going back to the previous iteration and dropping the PDK moniker feels a little like an overreaction on WotC’s part. They could have made people happy by keeping the subclass as...

How about 3e barbarians, who started out illiterate and had to spend skill points to be able to read and write?

I suspect that one reason people reacted so badly towards it is that the UA didn't provide any context, so it came across like a retcon (e.g. "They're called the Purple Dragon Knights because they ride purple dragons.") Hopefully, the entry on the Purple Dragon Knight faction will explain that...

Yes, I know. I was being sarcastic. That's really an unfortunate side effect of the way the game mechanics work. Since you can't give a level 3 PC an adult dragon as a mount, the dragon has to start off small ... Since dragons are sentient beings who consider themselves to be superior to...

"Hey, Amethyst Dragons. We're the Purple Dragon Knights. Y'all are purple dragons. Wanna team up? It'll be so cool!" 😝

For the record, the Purple Dragons are the national army of Cormyr, with the Purple Dragon Knights being the officers. They got their name from Thauglor, an ancient black dragon whose scales were more violet than black. Thauglor once ruled over the area that became Cormyr. While the amethyst...

I'm tempted to as well ... although I'd make it so they can get their names back again in short order - either by letting them find the satyr again or by doing a deed for the satyr's fey overlord or whatever.

And they are also available as part of the digital only preorder bundle!

I see a DDB staff member has also confirmed in that thread that the DLCs are included in the digital only preorder bundle as well. I'll be going with that since I want to get the alt covers for these.

I think this art style began with Dragon Age Inquisition (e.g. Solas' murals). I haven't played Veilguard yet, but I'm glad to hear it's still around in the latest game too.

I expect these will be available for purchase separately later on. I was told that would be the case for the bonus maps and things that they were offering as part of the digital bundle for Dragon Delves, for instance.

@GarrettKP so the Harper background gets a bunch of stuff instead of an origin feat?

Yes, Valindra is a lich with a glamer that makes her look like she did when she was alive.

Sold! I like this cover art soooo much better than the standard covers.

Are the graphics in Fallout 3 really noticeably worse than in Fallout 4? They don't look all that bad in the Steam previews. I've never played the original Fallout games and am not fond of turn-based games, so that's fine.

Fallout 3 GOTY Edition is currently on sale on Steam for only NZ$12. Still reckon I should wait?

Yes! This: "My hope is that surrounding the group myself with players who actively want to participate and learn the system might be what's needed."
