Default Re: Dishonored / Skyrim / Fallout Litho's

This annoys me to no end

Quote:
Because this is a numbered item, we're going to designate the new
prints with an asterisk so there will be no confusion in case the
fewer-than-ten unaccounted-for first run prints end up surfacing.
Numbering will now look like: 1/300 *, 2/300 *, etc. We're chasing
down the missing numbers from this first run so we can avoid any
collisions, but just to be safe, the asterisk will unobtrusively keep
things clear.
When you see an asterisk, you think "what is wrong with this information?"

I.E. an asterisk next to a world record is heart-breaking

So now I'm not going to want to point out the fact that it's numbered as anyone that looks at it will automatically ask what does the asterisk mean?

Personally I think that's a terrible way of correcting the issue.

They really should have accounted for all lithos if they were going to do this but seeing as how they can't I would have much preferred them to use a different font or color on the numbering to show that it's the "second run"

Because I for one paid for the "first run"

If you can't tell I ain't happy about this
