SD, I'd just like to say that IMO, if the loot pack doesn't sell as well as the previous DLC, it's not because people didn't want a loot pack, it's because of the contents of the loot pack.

From my perspective bows are underpowered (for sovereigns and heros) compared to swords and other weapons - because of the significant initiative reduction and the low damage, and personally I never used cursed items, of which there are 5 in the pack.

And I was really hoping there would be enough items in the pack to significantly reduce the possibility of getting the same items over and over again, sometimes in a row.

Just my 2 cents.

For players who dont like new pokemon items

Remove Bunny Slippers and Giant Lollipop from LH Loot Pack (mod)

That raises a good question. How many items are strictly sovereign creation items, and how many can be found in goody huts and quests?

I agree, but the path of the ranger mod makes the new bows much more useful.

^ Yeah, I find this exact sentiment is the consensus with those I've talked to as well, Flector. 

I too have purchased and enjoyed every DLC for LH, until now.  I decided not to buy this DLC, simply because it doesn't have enough to make it worth buying.  It has nothing to do with being against the 2 notorious "gag items"; I have no problem with that.  It just didn't offer enough to be worth another $5 to me.  It sounds too much like something they'd add over a patch or two for free.  And just as you've said, if it offered a bit more (say 50+ items, involving a bit of lore around the items etc.) I'd very likely buy it.

So many others I've spoken to believe this one was a disapointment, and from the sounds of it, I have no doubt I'd agree.  As much as I want to continue supporting this game, I think this is where I draw the line.

Sorry to have to throw this in, but there is no law that every DLC has to cost the same.

Theoretical I would buy everything that expands the game, but emotional I think the DLC-Business works better, when the

potential cutomer has a good feeling about the benefit he gets.

I personally would be willing to pay 5 € for the Quest-DLC, and in each case 2 € for the maps and the loot.

It is very nice from people to see the DLCs as chance to support the game, perhaps there are even chances to bring forward this idea, with rewards or special ingame-items for people investing more time and money into the game.

I like the system of Amplitude (Endless Space), they call it Games2gether, the active community can influence future content by voting.

33 is a little light for $5, imo. Nevertheless, I will eventually obtain this DLC to support SD's development of 1.4 and 1.5.

non gag non cursed.

I haven't found a good use for the cursed bell.  Why would I want everyone to lose all their turns?  Maybe if I had poisoned somebody and about to die myself?  Maybe if I wanted one more turn to reset a timer.  Those are very very situational uses.

I haven't tried the possessed axe but it seems kinda very situational as well since it sounds like you "gain" something like the trait of clumsy or something by using it.  Since it's only a 13 str axe it's better than the mid game Fire axes but only marginally.

As others have mentioned the blood good line are pretty very situational as well since a lot of the items are like soviet russia where items you use hurt YOU! (Yakov Smirnov joke)

How much of the loot pack is actually usable decent stuff that adds something to the game?

About the bell:  Isn't it just a Silver Flute with a drawback?  I rarely use the Silver Flute as it is.
