You're a hard working NPC in a videogame and a new HD CLD becomes available.
How much are you ready to spend on one these new HD skins?
If you're among the first, maybe a obscure blogger will write about you and marvel at your new details, but if you wait too long you risk being taken out of the game.
Unless you're one of the big NPC involved in the main plot, these privilege ones always have a free pass. Your only revenge is that it won't change the fact that most of them will die at the beginning of the second act.
