What do you mean when you say that Paradox thew Obsidian under the bus with Tyranny? Something happened? Well, that does need contextualized and curtailed a bit. It's not like a business agreement was violated. But Paradox went on record saying that everyone at Paradox expected it to do better. Ergo, something went amiss in the market and Obsidian product. For context see this article: Why didn't Tyranny sell? Paradox on Obsidian's RPG (PCGamesN).

The dialogue of the initial version of The Witcher was a mess. They later went back and released an enhanced edition which improved the quality immensely.

Josh Sawyer has posted a few images about the new (optional) custom AI system on Twitter. I think it looks good and will look forward to tinkering with it.

No one can manage their pledge before Obsidian moves the pledge data over from Fig. Once the data has been moved over, you should be able to modify it from here. I would advise against making a new account or pledge, as it will only make the process more complicated for everyone involved.

You can pledge via PayPal here: https://eternity.obsidian.net/login (the PayPal option is at the end of the checkout process).

At the very least the end state of the companions, I assume that if it is covered in the ending slides, and is not 100% contained to the Dyrwood, it is likely to get a passing mention.

I don't like the idea of pitch black dungeons in a game like this. I like to see where I am going, and where the enemies are, so that I have a better idea how to approach the next fight tactically. In addition, a part of the enjoyment of these games is looking at the beautiful backgrounds; something only looking at a tiny part of it at a time would remove. I wouldn't mind it in an isometric ARPG like Diablo or its descendants however.

I would like to see Sawyer do a historical turn-based RPG.

Thank you, Adam. I am looking forward to have a listen.

Since you are using GoG Galaxy, have you tried following these instructions? If the expansion does not appear in the configure menu, you might want to contact GoG.com customer service.

From the horses mouth:

Everything I have seen, including tweets from the project lead Josh Sawyer indicates that there will be no more expansions for PoE after TWM. Also I don't think there will be a campaign editor or any official tools.

Yes.

The White March (both parts) takes place before the end of the game, so you will need to access it before you go past the point of no return.

Quite a few GOG.com users have experinced this. It is caused by installing the non-WM patch (in your case it must have been the 2.01 patch) after installing WM. I fully understand your frustration. I personally use GoG galaxy to avoid situations like this, but it definitely should be much harder to end up in this situation when downloading manually.

The NPCs that you can read are Kickstarter backer rewards. That is also why so many of them are Godlikes, and why descriptions are of ~*awesome cool people*~.

I am OK with it, PoE is good game, but its engine needs a lot of work, and a sequel would allow the developers to rebuild into something far better. Also, the developers have learned a lot of how to make IE-like games by making PoE, so hopefully PoE 2 will be a better game.

The expansion is not set after the game, but during it, since it was partly modeled after "Tales of the Swordcoast" for BG1. To access the expansion you need to load a save from before the point of no return. You should then return to your keep and talk to The Steward. Edit: Edit beaten to the punch.

If you can wait it should be available in a week or two.

I have the feeling that they will go straight to PoE 2 after WM is concluded. I think they said as much in the recent PAX presentation.

No, the expansion should not be required. Are you sure you have the latest patch installed? If you do, and you have the Steam version you should try to verify your cache integrity. Could you provide us with a screen shot of when you are browsing the services of an inn?

Arcanum was tile-based, just like Fallout 1 and 2.
