I hope it's self-published at least in the west. Maybe CDPR could publish it in certain select European regions. I've long been a fan of Paradox but just recently they have started to rub me the wrong way. Paradox is also trying to sell to Tencent, at least that was the last I heard. Or Tencent was one of the interested parties, but I know Paradox is seeking investment to grow, they are publicly traded after all.
Obsidian is in a really tight place, after Paradox throwing them under the bus a bit with Tyranny I think Paradox has Paradox in mind. Kind of going the way of Zenimax if you will.
Maybe Devolver could publish it?
Man if only there was a PC-centric company who owned an entire content distribution system that was privately owned that could publish games and not force the games to be restricted to their own store...
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.

any update on this? Paypal is the only way I can support this campaign. it may come as a shock, but in Europe it's not actually expected for people to own credit cards.
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,What exactly transfers over from PoE?
what you choose to do with the souls, if you betrayed any of the gods, and if you kidnapped (and kept) the Orlan baby.
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.

Hey, guys. I probably could have chosen my words better than I did. I wasn't trying to upset any of our Linux supporters and I didn't mean to belittle their support. I love all of our backers and I appreciate all of their help.
We basically had to build our Linux infrastructure from scratch on our side. It wasn't something we were used to. It was also painful for us to develop in Linux because the Unity tools didn't support Linux at the time. This meant that we were unable to debug on the platform.
Now that we have gone through the process of creating these builds it is something that will be much easier for us in the future. Pair that with SteamOS, Steam Controller, and Steam Machine and I think Linux's future is good with PoE games.

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.
-
When WM2 comes out, will I be able to just plug it into my current game and carry on playing as normal?
(providing I haven't entered the pit yet)
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.

- Reading souls of random NPCs is completely useless. I did it for the first dozen then stopped. If you did this for important NPCS that you deal with regularly, maybe... it would be background information. But doing it for npcs we never interact with? ever? why even bother? why should we care? The stories are not even that interesting (compared to other games such as fallout, which are basicly 1) short 2) INTERESTING 3) STORIES), they offer no twist, humor, story telling, or insight into the world... they are just very descriptive of that specific npc we have NO reason to care about. Please do something better with soul reading in the next game.
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.

I'm in a similar boat, only without the digital copy (That went to the wife on her preference). Any clues on how I can get the White March without rebuying the game?
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?

Open world. With pre-rendered backgrounds.
Sweet.
Arcanum comes to mind
Arcanum was tile-based, just like Fallout 1 and 2.
