My perception: There's a hefty market in Europe for RPGs, especially Obsidian's, and especially compared to the US. However, a significant percentage of RPG fans are already proficient in English and, importantly, would rather play the game in English. This is due to two factors: given the choice, original is better, and translations are often terrible. I'd say that translating an RPG is a worthy goal but, in the case of a Kickstarter, it should be one of the last stretch goals. Unless Obsidian hires me to do the translation to Portuguese. In that case translating the game should be the very first goal. Portuguese is one of the most spoken languages in the world, and has more speakers, than German or French, for instance, which already have been chosen for translation. Also, can I interest you in these fine leather jackets?

Translations

Portuguese, so Obsidian can hire me to do the translation. -

Pearl Harbor is a real place so it should not be translated. Please study how to translate (there are a lot of manuals) before talking. Translation is a disputed and divisive subject. In the apst, place names were routinely translated, for example. Which is why there's translated words for major cities, even to this day. Example: Göteborg, Gothenburg, Gotemburgo. Respectively, Swedish, English and Portuguese. In any case he's agreeing with you. And so do I.

Isn't Scania a part of the Kingdom of Sweden? Unfortunately. :D You mean you live in a Saab. -
What are the plans regarding the resolution? I assume the background assets will at least be designed the accommodate the now ubiquitous 1920x1080 resolution. However, I was wondering if there will be higher resolution backgrounds to allow the possibility of playing the game with better detail on larger screens.
