Explorer Pack : Pick your race/alliance combo freely
This was a pre order bonus. However, with the console being pushed 6 months, and character transfers, this feature needs to be an option again. I would happily play on pc till the console release. But I want the features I was going to have on the console, which would allow me to have this flex. If they offer this feature, I'll jump on board. Otherwise, I'll likely just walk away all together. *shrugs*

I agree if you paid for that edition on console there should be no issue giving those players those options while they wait.

Xithian✭✭✭I made sure I got the ability to play any race/faction, and I feel bad for anyone that starts playing now and can't get it. It's a silly restriction to have, especially in a game setting with as much diversity as Elder Scrolls. Playing through any faction you will run into NPCs of all races.
I believe that in the future they will add a store purchase to unlock this ability, simply because not to do so would be ludicrous. -
Amazon is still offering console preorders with the explorers pack - date will be pushed back; not sure why we are getting topics like this.
But we dont' actually GET the explorers pack key. I would need it now for my characters I make now... the whole point of this is to NOT re roll in 6 months. -

You can buy the explorer pack online in several sites for 32-35 euro...
So maybe less drama queen, more ability to use search options?
So you are telling me I should buy the ability to pick any race/class combo, that was going to be included with my pre order, for the entire cost of the game???
What kind of math is that. -

Wait ... You want to use your PC accounts characters on the console version? -
I think half the people in this thread have no idea what the OP is asking. OP I think it is a valid argument.
Thank you. I've also submitted this to support. Hopefully they review it. This functionality needs to be an option for new players now who would have had it given freely for the console -

Notice the question mark....
I asked because I haven't seen the news and was hoping for some info.
Had I read the latest news, I would have had no need of asking the question would I? -

You know you can get the PC version now and then the console version for 20 bucks and move your character from PC to console? So you'll have the explorer pack
Considering you can get the explorer pack for 30 bucks...
Otherwise I have no clue what you want

Azarul✭✭✭✭Come on guys, what he is saying is if he goes out TODAY and buys a PC version he will not be able to play any race/alliance. So when the time comes for him to switch his character to console he will be locked into a faction. However with the preorder for the console version he had he would of received it free.

Why would I buy someone hocking or bootlegging their pre order code that I was already entitled to and unable to use because of a 6 month delay...
That's just bad business and bad logic. -

A solution from Zeni, for all those entitled to this feature. The feature does us no good in 6 months, if they want us to play now.

I get what your saying and trying to help, but we could be talking about 100,000 copies here. Is there that many keys left out there? Also I am PC only and have no horse in this race, but think it should be fixed. -

No debate, however being force to play X race to be in Y faction where we would have had that feature with our pre order and no pre order options now... meh, I know a lot of people in the same boat with the same feelings as me.
