The name says it all, right? If you’re a collector, and one that especially loves D&D, then I’d say the Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition is worth it. I love Divinity: Original Sin 2, but I’m not a major D&D or Baldur’s Gate loyalist. Because of that, I’m not planning on getting the Collector’s Edition. I think the people who are going to get the Collector’s Edition know exactly who they are.
