    Am I missing something? I didn't think the doctor was in ACR? He looked cool too, white rhobes, red cross. Pretty sweet. But...can we use him? Was it a hacked DLC or something?

    Really? Weird, I'd never seen him before, and I haven't seen him since, not even as NPC. Looked cool though, I hope they release all the pre-order characters as DLC later though, like they did in ACB.

    He is the Ottoman Doctor.

    The Ottoman Doctor was a pre-order character released only in the Special Edition of ACR.

    The Crusader and Ottoman Jester were also pre-order characters, but they could be obtained a little easier than the Doctor was.

    Got it. Side note...I've always hated the idea of preorder exclusives. If anybody here is a fan of Gears of War, you can relate, because their pre-order/exclusive content offerings for GoW3 was an absolute atrocity. But I digress...I won't be heartbroken if they don't release special characters as DLC down the road like in ACB, but I hope they do just because I like having as many options as possible.

    I'd honestly rather they didn't. I personally hate preorder exclusives as well, I think if you are paying 60 ridiculous dollars for a luxury item, you should be entitled to all of its benefits, not just because you ordered earlier. However since there are preorder bonuses, I deal with them and try to enjoy them if I get them.

    The reason I would rather them not to be rereleased as a DLC is because I like having something to show for my preordering the game, if everyone can just eventually download it, what's the point of preordering :\.

    Having it at Day one, while everyone has to wait, although I do agree. But here in America it's next to impossible to get the Ottoman Doctor, and I didn't have the money to buy another game for $60 at Best Buy for the Crusader, so having them in DLC just kinda works

Also it seems like most of the time they don't release the preorder until the time of the normal release :\.
