Mamoulian War

I am missing voting option "F*** YEAH!"

On this one, you are actually wrong too. In lot of countries, especially in Europe, it is legal, to make single backup of the game you have purchased for personal use. Because the disc are often made into coasters by intrusive DRM, you can without fear download backup for you. DRM circumvention is not illegal in EU, unlike in USA. And Whatever EULA might say, boxed games are still handled in EU like physical goods. That means EULA is invalid, if you are unable to read it through precisely before you open the packaged goods. Digital goods are not covered by that, because when you sign into Direct Download service, the EULA is accessible to you before the purchase. Unfortunately I do not know nothing about legality of back up of DRMed digital goods in EU, because I do not have any experience with it. I shop only DRM free digital goods, so I never looked into that matter.

Yeah, the non-standard fantasy races are particularly hard to find. When I tried searching for Godlike, they were either too human or too alien. I didn't bother with Orlan because I knew I would just get a bunch of furry pics. Well, if you are photoshop savvy, the easiest way to get a custom Orlan picture would be to edit some Goblin pictures to make them little bit more hairy

LoL when I have put Orlan Character Portraits into Google Image Search, this is what I got among the first few results Not sure, if that would fit your roleplay style though

Because GoG does not do preloading, I would not be surprised if the GoG release would be already patched with Day 0 patch at 9am Pacific time.

If a person owns a license to the game, it isn't infringement for them to download and play the software through other means. The license of a game is to access the software. The software is the software no matter where it is obtained from. If a person owns a license that grants access, that stays with them regardless of whether they're locked out of an account or not. Even when you have access to your GoG account, your property is still that same license, and not the instance of packaged-software that you download. There is nothing shady about downloading a game which a person owns a license to play, from a torrent or misc file host. It's precisely the same level of legality as downloading it from a personal GoG or Steam account. Man can say, that with the termination of account, your right to licensed material is revoked as well EDIT: Well at least in the countries, where EULAs are not illegal by default

Yes and it will be 23GB download

So can a person with games purchased through Steam. I own a lot of GoG games, which I don't download and back up. If I ever had no access to my GoG account, I'd be in the very same position as I would if I had no access to my Steam account. Yet I'd still possess a license to legally play all games in either account. I was talking about your purchased and backed up games and not games which can be obtained by some copyright infringing methods. For obtaining them that way, you do not need Steam nor GoG accounts at all. Terminated Steam account means, that you have lost all means how to install your backed up games again, without using some "shady" behaviour. With terminated GoG account you can still freely use all your backups without need to visit darknet. If you do not download and back up games you purchased, it's your own decision. Don't blame the middle man.

You have to download once in a while a standalone patch from their site. Well until GoG Galaxy optional client will be released. The you should be able to update all your games with one click (or two ).

In the cases of both Steam and GoG, a person purchases a license for a game, not an installer, and not an account. Steam's subscriber agreement relates to their server service, and not the games a person owns in their account - and GoG has its exact equivalent which is their Terms of Use agreement, in which GoG reserves the same rights to terminate an account, and to change their Terms of Use without warning and at their discretion. So Steam game purchases are owned by the purchaser in the same sense that games were owned prior to digital distribution, and in the same sense that a game purchased through GoG is owned. In all cases, the purchaser receives a license, which is the sole possession of the one who purchased it. The difference is, that if GoG "terminates" your account, you can still play your games.

Well, to bad they did not introduced it in WotLK, maybe I would still be playing that game :/

You're having a different discussion than me. You're talking about whether you like those changes or not and whether they seem fun to you. I obviously can't prove you wrong on that. What I'm saying is that those aspects show a very clear divergence from how D&D CRPGs of the past played, so much so that the combat gameplay we see in that video doesn't really evoke games like Baldur's Gate or NWN. That much is quite obvious from that video - unless you think we need to read the manual and play the full game to be able to tell. From what I know of you personally, I think you don't really enjoy hardcore RPG mechanics and would prefer a relatively casual and actiony romp. I don't mean that as an insult - and I don't think you'll take it as one, given your self-professed preferences. I think you may well enjoy SCL. Which is my point. I don't have a bone to grind with SCL not being my cup of tea - that's not a problem. I do think it was disingenious of them to announce themselves as the return of good old D&D CRPGs. Tigranes is right on the money. If I invited all of you for dinner promising steak, prime rib, and an open bar and then when you all get there you find out I'm serving hamburgers and potato chips with one can of cheap beer you'd be a little disappointed. That is not to say burgers and chips are not good, it just wasn't what I promised you. They pitched this project by throwing around the D&D brand and the promise to live up to the IE games and NWN. That attracted a vocal and passionate audience. But the meal they are serving up, even though it's not out of the kitchen yet, is something else entirely. Their own forums have gone from being full of mooning fanboys to shark infested waters. Oh now I understand, Tigranes in future use analogies that involve food..they much easier to understand By the way GD are you really inviting me for dinner....or was this just part of your post and not to be taken seriously..because I love steak and prime rib !!! I think the real message was: "Do you like hamburgers?"

You just broke my heart :'(

Well, after browsing and reading little bit these forums for last two days, I am pretty tempted to make my first character Barbarian named Burt Hutt

It depends on country and their intellectual property and consumer laws

Unfortunately you misunderstood the pledge. I have the same tier as you do. And only one key for Royal Edition is available from that pledge. The other copy will come with the disc.

On GoG with one key you get automatically access to Win, Mac and Linux versions of the game. Of course the game has to support it in the first place. And Pillars have said, they will support all OSs.

It's right here

Ok, Time to go to sleep And chill, you'll get your keys soon

You know, one of the problems of their campaign was also incoming Pillars of Eternity, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy Type Zero. Lot of people are burned out of money this march. I bet if they would start this campaign with same info few weeks later, they would get more pledges.

GoG support in this case sends the link to the missing patch by e-mail, if you ask them nicely.

Here, have this, while you waiting for the keys.

OMG, where is this world going to, when even the Rick Roll is regional locked out of some countries...

GoG all the way. You'll get autoupdate on GoG sooner or later with GoG galaxy. For me, autoupdate is something I loathe a lot. Especially if you have to wait hour or two for few gigabytes big patch instead of playing the game right away. At least PS3 allows you to skip the update if you want to play singleplayer.
