I love Blood Bowl, and I always have. I spent my college years playing it religiously despite all common sense: impossible to find miniatures, expense of said miniatures, my total lack of any artistic talent or ability, my dislike of tedious work like precision painting, the frustratingly steep learning curve, and the fact it took hours to complete even a single match. So, naturally, I was excited to hear that a video game based on the property was to be released.
And so it was, and I loved it… despite all common sense: SecuROM DRM, truly embarrassing AI, punishingly repetitive commentators, and a user interface than can only be described as <b>actively hostile</b> to the end user. Of course, only a handful of the team races were released, and I fully expected a trickle of $4.99 DLC teams for the rest of eternity. Perhaps the player base is not large enough to make DLC attractive, or maybe it’s because the Franco-Communist sympathies of developer Cyanide Studios are offended by such blatant profit maximization. Well, for whatever reason, the Blood Bowl addicts of the world are instead given the “LegendaryEdition,” filling out a good chunk of the remaining Blood Bowl racial roster.
To celebrate this, and perhaps lure some new players into the fold, I have decided to repurpose an old forum post of mine:
