Does anyone know if we can access the digital download key from the pillars of eternity website, if we bought the physical version?

I might want to keep my version NRFB :smuggo:

It's time for a
summery execution!

quote:

Does getting spoiled on the opening really ruin a person's enjoyment of something to any noticeable degree? If anything, I'd imagine that enjoyment would be increased slightly, as it might reduce some frustration or confusion at the beginning due to unfamiliarity.

Unfamiliarity is one of the things I really enjoy about these kinds of games though. It's like the feeling of exploring an undiscovered country. It's not really a spoiler to say "There are plants that are similar to the ones back home" but I want to encounter that, on my own.

My first moments in a new game aren't something that I can replicate after I've played it, or read a review/preview. I like being able to sit back and explore the game world, for the first time, where every hallway is new and has untold depth waiting to be explored. Yeah, it's not as huge of a deal as spoiling pivotal moments in a story, but it's still not something I want defined before I experience it.

It's not how everyone likes to play, but it's one of my favorite things about playing a new game. :)

edit: adding context
