I am trying like mad to download this, but all 4 Mirror's I've tried no longer work. Is there anywhere I can download this from? Thanks!

Well, seeing that they just announced Tyranny-it looks like POE2 is not happening anytime soon...which saddens me........greatly.

I'm all in for PoE2. I'm also all in for a Baldur's Gate 3. I believe Obsidian can do it. In fact, they are probably the only current dev that has the ability to pull off a BG3. I'm sure they will go the PoE2 route (which I am hoping for). I am wondering, will it be Kickstarter again? I assume they have enough funds and resources after PoE to make PoE2 on their own. I'm not opposed to a Kickstarter if still needed, I'm just wondering.

Games like these take time, dedication, and effort to really get into to appreciate it all. I have purchased the lore books to really get me into the world that has been created. With that said, I don't have as much time on my hands as I used to (when games like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale came out). I have not been able to get into the world and story as much as I have wanted and I've had to take long breaks in between play sessions as well. Still, it's a great game and does not deserve to be deleted off your computer! Keep pluggin along!

Serious issue with the .epub on my nook. Font looks to be about 100+. Only a couple of characters on the screen at a time. My guess is that it's not scaling correctly and that what I'm seeing is the first letter and a half of the first and second line for each page. Hope this helps. P.S. It's a nook simple touch. Had no problem with the Wasteland 2 epubs. Thanks for the additional information. I will pass this on. Ok. I downloaded the ePub format again and opened it in iBooks. Only the cover loaded again. All other pages were blank. I closed out of iBooks, launched it again, then the last two pages of the book loaded, but nothing else. Waited a bit, then closed iBooks out again. Launched iBooks one more time and then all the pages finally populated. Not sure what was going on. My iPad is updated and current. Anyway, I got it working now!

I'm going to try downloading the epub version again when I get home. The first time I downloaded it all the pages were blank. I let it sit for a bit thinking it might be taking a while to populate. I'll post my findings later tonight.

I downloaded the Ratcatcher, but have not had a chance to read it yet. Note to OE-the epub format didn't seem to work on my Retina iPad. I had to download the PDF version. Also, I'm an aspiring Indie Author (hint, hint) and would love to get the opportunity to write a short story in the PoE world. OE, please PM if you are interested.

I can't pretend to be an analytics/accountant person-but to me this news sounds wonderful! It's great to see Obsidian being rewarded for their hard work and choice of using Kickstarter (sorry to the suit-ran large publishers, you're out). Best news is Obsidian owns the IP and does not have to answer to a big publisher like many developers do. I fully expect a PoE 2. And if they go the Kickstarter route again, I will proudly fund. Missed the boat the first time around.

I fully expect PoE2 to have a lot more voiced dialogue, since the base game system will already be in place as well as money in Obsidian's bank from this game and expansion. I would love more voiced dialogue for the main characters and party members. All that dialogue should be voiced imo. But, games like this need a lot of it to be read. It's a role playing game for a reason, right?

I still can't get into party AI. As much of a pain it is to give every one commands on every battle, it's just something I have to do. I think it's the old pause/command obsession I started back with BG and IWD.

Nice find. So, are these side quests for our party, or just ones you can send your Stronghold reserves on?

Hmmm, wanting an Arquebus equipped on every team member seems like suicide to me. I'm not the best at combat and don't have a whole lot of tips to give you. But, I can tell you everyone with an Arquebus is a bad idea. Games like this require a lot of management and pausing. The new update gives some AI options, but I still prefer to have total control over all my team. If you are starting out and only have one or two companions currently, create one at the first inn you come to. That will help until you fill out the rest of the companions. Or, save your money and make all your companions exactly the way you want.

Really awesome! Great to see fans doing things like this!

The NPC backer stuff doesn't bother me. I think it's a nice nod to those who backed. And I have to totally disagree with you on the ambient sounds. One of my most favorite things in all the Infinity Engine games and this game is the ambient sounds. This game has done a phenomenal job at creating them and adding to the immersion.

Justin, Awesome music with the expansion. I purchased the original Pillars soundtrack the day it came out on iTunes. Not sure if I read the previous posts correctly, but are you saying you will not be releasing the White March soundtrack for purchase? I'm hoping you guys do. Waiting until Part 2 comes out seems the logical choice. Would love to purchase White March soundtrack from Part 1 and Part 2 combined!

How about we ignore you too? Everybody has the right to post here. Lol. I was in no way trying to be hostile when I posted this. The same cannot be said for you. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. The OP gave their's and I gave mine. End of story.

So I've always played a Ranger class as well in all IE games. And I followed suit in PoE. I'll have to check again-but last time I looked, my Ranger had the most kills of the party-by a lot. So the DPS of my Ranger was doing what it was supposed too, coupled with my Companion Wolf. That knockdown ability the Companion gets is huge. Plus, there are many abilities you can take to synergize the Ranger and Companion. I did miss having ammo in this game. No special arrows to find in the world made me sad. If they did not have any arrows/ammo, they should have added more abilities for special arrows. And I don't mean the Envenom ability you can use 3 per rest. I mean good ol' Poison Arrows, Arrow +1, etc. Also, I can't remember-does the Ranger in PoE have a Charm Animal ability? I don't remember seeing that either.

Animancy class. I think would make the most sense. And, as already noted, Pirate class.

OP needs concoction of skaenbone and ogre blood......

I'm fine with how it turned out. Seeing that my 3 year old laptop is having a harder than normal time running this game, i'm fine with it. Ran FPS in Steam last night for the first time. Was pulling roughly 11-22 fps in the areas. The areas with intense stuff going on like fog, etc dropped fps to 10-11. Normal areas I was hitting 21 fps. And thats with graphics bar found in the settings set all the way down.

Lol. Some of these comments. Do people even remeber this was a Kickstarter game? If they had a mega-giant company like EA backing them there would be more music, better optimization, etc, etc, and oh wait-this game would of never been made in the first place. I really don't understand all the hate. I have played all the IE games and while PoE is nowhere perfect, I have reallly, really loved it. I enjoy the combat. Maybe it's not as tactical as some would want, but I love the game none the less. Just to be playing a game like this again in 2015 is a great feeling.

You can make your own CD if you bought the addition that comes with the Soundtrack. Heck, they even included cover art you can print out! I still haven't had time to try and extract the ambient sounds. That's what I really want. Anyhoo, have the soundtrack on my phone and have been listening to it for the past few weeks to and from work. Really good stuff.

Please ignore this thread Obsidian. No offense to the OP at all, but that DLC would cost a literal fortune. VO is very expensive and not completely needed in a game like this imo. Spend your resources in better ways Obsidian. Like more content, bug fixes, and a second game please.

Pft. There is an option to turn on/off Stash of unlimited holding. Why not make resting the same way? In all honesty, I've been ok with having to use the Camping Supplies. But I did like how in the IE games you could rest, but there was always a chance you could be attacked by random enemies.

Hmm. I need to look into this further. I had noticed my Wolf was not knocking enemies down. I thought possibly it was some sort of resistance a certain enemy has. I noticed this also happening with Eder's knockdown not working all th time. Are knockdowns by fighter/animal companion supposed to work 100% of the time on every enemy?
