@Fi said in Relaunch Patch - Character Creation Open:
What I'm asking is will I would be negatively impacted in some way if I buy the game on Steam again—base price—just to link my account and play through it after I've already created a character/reserved a name?
Not at all! After launching from Steam and linking, you'll find yourself in front of your characters already created, and your Founder Pack will still be in your account
