But it does have a fancy loot box opening animation! I hope you've played Dark Souls before. I know it's got a reputation as nail biting ridiculous hard, but it's not really so tough. It's not easy, but if you've played through older games you're more than prepared for it. What I mean is, the Souls games in particular would be particularly ruined, utterly and irrevocably, by a loot box system. Just to heap some more praise on the series, it has handled DLC just amazingly. They don't shove a bunch of "instant rewards" in your bag. They don't put a magic quest in your log saying "you heard a rumor that", and they don't even bother making sure you can access the DLC right out of the gate. The DLC fits in the universe naturally, so that if you didn't know you had it, it would feel just like another section of the game. It's just surprising how rarely that happens in games, so I have to praise it here.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
