i loved whole icewind dale's boxset along with everything that came inside


there was also a nice manual and map of the spine of the world in it

I wouldn't say box art is worse than back in the 80s or 90s, but they definitely skimp of the extras. Manuals are like a few pages long if you get a manual at all. Old games used to always have some sort of goodies. Space Quest had Space Piston magazine and fake coupons and stuff. Ultima had excellent maps and detailed manuals and little trinkets. Even "collector's editions" nowadays aren't anywhere near that quality.
