None of which you have to do or commit to or honestly 99% of the time don't affect your game. They are there because yes it is easy to get more money out of the passionate fan, but most of the time you don't even need to latch something on to get them to do something they were going to do anyway. I "Like" DA2 on FB and I get an extra skill point. In the end it doesn't change my gameplay. I just end up with one extra skill point later. The things released are also 99% of the time items that only help early game, and that is usually barely. At least they are bonuses that do SOMETHING. It's better than skins or real world items. In the end I've always looked at it like this, if you plan on getting the game, there's no pain in pre-ordering. All it does is help (most of the time) to get a copy and nets you something extra for nothing.
