Countdown to Eternity!
What are some lessons you have learned from this Kickstarter and what would you would change for future Kickstarter campaigns, should you go this route again?

Thoughts on Knights of the Old Republic
My reaction to the twist was like a YouTube Ned Stark reaction video.

I can read Feargus. What a rockstar. He only needs to go by one name.

Will the game have a built-in launcher to handle patches?
Jeeze. Get with the tymes. If you wasn't a physical copy, they'll mail you a floppy disc if you send them a pre-stamped self-addressed envelopes requesting a patch.

Will the game have a built-in launcher to handle patches?
Not likely. Digital versions are tied to Steam or GOG and retail versions will be tied to Steam. Those with physical DRM free backer versions will most likely have to download the patches manually --old school nostalgia style.

Wanna bet? How many inns will be in the game?
42 is always the correct number.

Expansion to be ToSC style
Yep, it really is him: http://www.gamewatcher.com/interviews/pillars-of-eternity-interview/12162 Cool. I'll backtrack and say that it was a pretty decent interview. "...but we know there are already backer beta players on our forums making mods. They’re making UI mods, graphical mods, they clearly hate the things I’ve designed… Which is great, you know, if they want to change balance or flip around the UI screen, why would we have any problem with that?" Bwahahaha!

Soloing
It's possible but it'll be difficult. There's even going to be an achievement for soloing on Path of the Damned with Expert Mode on Ironman. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/69665-path-of-the-damned-discussion/page-2?do=findComment&comment=1548589 http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/70134-triple-crown-solo-achivement-for-pod-expert-mode-ironman-solo/?hl=solo

Pro Hoops 2K14-2K15
http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/curryst01/on-off/2015/ Warriors are +16.8 pts per 100 possessions with Curry on the court Warriors are -0.6 pts per 100 possessions with Curry off the court. Net total of +17.4 pts. 115.9 Offensive Efficiency 99.1 Defensive Efficiency http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jamesle01/on-off/2015/ Cavs are +9.9 pts per 100 possessions with Lebron on the court. Cavs are -6.2 pts per 100 possessions with Lebron off the court. Net total of +16.1 pts. 115.2 Offensive Efficiency 105.2 Defensive Efficiency Actually, it's closer than I thought. Warriors are average without Curry. Cavs are terrible without Lebron. Dubs are the better team overall and Curry the better player this year.

http://www.gamewatcher.com/news/2015-24-02-obsidian-pillars-of-eternity-will-grow-with-traditional-expansion-wants-improvements-rolled-into-a-free-patch I do find it strange that the quotes aren't attributed to a specific developer. I don't doubt the veracity of the statements...but still, that's pretty shoddy journalism. I figure it'd have been Sawyer though.

Hahaha! This reminds me of Top Gear's "Sensible" review of the Ford Fiesta (Series 12 Episode 6). Classic.

Countdown to Eternity!
Are Paladins considered Knights? Is this a title reserved exclusively for nobles of martial disposition? Or are these titles also granted to those who have attained achievement in their respective professions e.g., Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, and Thomas More?

WTB More Developer Leads Videos
I don't think Adam was referring to you. I think it was more of a general rhetorical regarding whether if their discussion was too esoteric or technical for the layperson outside of the game development community.

Can someone please explain the reward tiers to me?
Contact Obsidian Support directly through the backer portal and open a ticket. They may be able to help you out if it's not too late to change your order.

Party composition
Not a big deal but actually, his original concept was a fighter. It was converted to rogue mid-project and then reverted back to fighter again.

Angry Joe LOVED Pillars Of Eternity
Yeah, ok so what? A guy can't have different opinions and like modern sandbox RPGs or appreciate achievements in multiple game genres without being dismissed as a console shill or representative of the dumbing down of modern games? Angry Joe's favorite game of all time is the original X-Com, which in case you forget, is a hardcore turn based, isometric squad combat game with deep strategical elements and high difficulty. Watch this review of the new X-Com if you still doubt his PC master race sensibilities.

Angry Joe LOVED Pillars Of Eternity
His evisceration of Total War: Rome 2 was brilliantly epic. As a Total War fan, and having been let down by Creative Assembly for the state of its release, this video was quite cathartic. The Creative Assembly engaged in some really good dialogue with Joe and their fans in reaction to this video in their official forums, and to their credit --CA really did improve the game with their free Emperor Edition overhaul.
