Do we though? Noone ever gets what they deserve. I doubt they changed the beginning just for the sake of it. More than likely it was to make the release date. If they hadn't met the date people would have moaned anyway, probably more that moan now. As much as I like a good story, I like playing the game more. I mean, would it have made that much of an impact on your gaming experience if you had a separate beginning scene? Maybe they'll introduce them in the future anyway as I'd expect there's room for more characters. Will we have to pay for it again? Undoubtedly but if it means I'm still enjoying the same game 6 months down the line it's probably worth it.
