Just got the game, have a simple question I hope.

n

Hey everyone. I just found out about this game by running into a blog about it (thank nuklearpower.com for letting me find it) I know, thats not important. Here is my issue. I found and bought the gold edition of the game (with both dread lords and the dark avatar expansion) I installed it, it runs and there was no problem registering it.

But when I go to the campaign option from the main menu, the only thing i can select is the Dark avatar campaign. Where in the world is the dread lords? Isn't it the original, so shouldn't it be the first one if i have to beat one to get the other? Its suppose to be there..what am I missing or..what utterly newbie mistake or overlook have i done? I really wanted to play the dread lords campaign -first- (you know cause its more fun to follow a story in order?) Help?

note I -did- look for this in the faq for a similar topic..either i missed the obvious again or no one else has been dumb enough to have this issue.

The initial release of GC2:Gold doesn't have the option to play the Dread Lords campaign in Dark Avatar--you need to click the Switch Chapter button in the launcher, then run Dread Lords instead.

The option to play the DL campaign within DA was added in a patch, though there are some other issues in the current beta patch so you may want to stick with the retail release until 1.6 is finalized.
