Seriously. Its not that I'm cheap, if you're game has more content, I'll pay more money for it from the outset. I may be in the minority here, but I'd gladly pay $100-120 up front for something that has 100+ hours of content. It just breaks up the entire experience for me, I like to play a game over the span of two weeks-month and than have a nice sense of conclusion. It feels like reading a three hundred page book over a year, skipping selective chapters, and than going back and reading the ones you skipped. From now on if a game is heavy with DLC/episodic content I'll probably just wait till the GOTY edition comes out.
Alot of the fun of CRPGs is that in the moment attachment you have to your characters/NPCs. When you think your done and then come back to the game a month later to do some BS side quest with minimal plot it just lessens the overall experience for me. By that time you are no longer engrossed in the game and it just feels tacked on IMO.
