These are more First Person Action games than RPGs

So even on a rental I can get the platinum without them? That's cool.

How is the Dragon Armor and the Golem? Are they any good or do they outlive their usefullnes quickly?

The platinum reads 

"Complete all Bronze, Silver, and Gold Trophies"

Master of the Peak, Diabolist, Rock and a Hard Place, and Stone's Lament all require the DLC. Unless there is something I am missing 

Armor isn't a big deal, you can't wear it until you get to higher level ( need str 42) and you can get better in game ( the superior dragonbone armor you get crafted is better). I ended up wearing the dragon armor for a couple levels on my first playthrough on a warrior but skipped it in the next two play throughs....

The golem is a nice party member but is in no way required.

The Warden Keep dlc however has the best sword in the game and provides you a chest to store your extra gear ( not really required either but it's nice). You have to purchase that one if you want those .

The armor and Shale are both awesome. Shale is like HK-47 from KotOR.

I ended the game with wearing Dragon Armor. I'm not 100% sure how it works though... I have a feeling that some items scale with lvl. i.e. if you kill something that gives loot, at a higher lvl, the loot will be better and I'm not sure if this applies to the Dragon Armor.

If I'm not mistaken the Golem is a voiced party member. It offers you a different play through experience. It is also a unique charater in terms of skills etc.

I may just end up grabbing the Warden Keep DLC even though it's a rental if it's cheap enough. I hate constantly running out of inventory room.

Anyone know the price? My PS3 is currently taken over at the moment and I can't check.

Edit - NVM, just remembered that Warden's Keep is the $7 download.

No... they're what most WRPGs are.

Because PS3 owners have weird elbows. It's a well known fact.

I'd rather have it on PC, but I don't feel like buying it right now.
