It's a Gamergate thing, basically. There's no reason for a normal backer not to use Fig. It's the developers who should be worried about it, they're the ones who end up with investors they have to pay back. And ironically normal backers avoiding Fig only makes them more beholden to said investors, so the whole anti-Fig thing is kind of self-destructive.

You'll probably be able to back the game via Paypal before the Fig campaign is even over.

I thought the statue of Maros was detached from the adra pillars by beetles. Did the adra grow back after you killed them? haha ninja'd

From PCGamesN: Unless the reborn Eothas sucks your levels out.

Looks like a female Island Aumaua. A native of the Deadfire Archipelago, or one of Kana Rua's warlike sisters?

Blacklist Polygon now! http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:25PgS_O4z48J:www.polygon.com/2017/1/26/14389930/pillars-of-eternity-2-deadfire-announcement-crowdfunding-fig+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=il

Polygon leaked the news early by accident, then took it down. These other ****ty blogs are just reposting it.

The story in the guidebook isn't about the Broken Stone War.

Not the first time we've seen the word "Hel": https://books.google.co.il/books?id=0F1qCAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=hel&f=false

I understand if you can't get too deep into details, but how do you know that with any kind of certainty? Did I miss some news, an interview, or what have you about the project? https://youtu.be/73cYTlul9vM?t=1365

It's not a Vampire game.

Hard to believe they'd commit to a release date at this stage. Maybe an hour of the day?

I think 'It's a pity'. Vailian glossary: https://www.instagram.com/p/BFPcvG-Jx21/

All Obsidian games have state code names. That this one happened to be Lousiana and play into people's fantasies about a Fallout: New Orleans (egged on by Chris Avellone!) is just a weird and amusing coincidence.

It was one of Tim Cain's inspirations in designing Fallout, believe it or not: https://crpgbook.wordpress.com/review-index/1992-star-control-2/

Infinitron - this is entirely off-topic but I have been wondering for years: what the heck is your portrait depicting? http://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Melnorme

They actually already use state capitals. Pillars of Eternity 1 was one - Project Trenton. No idea what Project Dover and Project Harrisburg were.

Eder, Aloth and Pallegina are returning.

It makes the most sense, but I'm actually not sure about that second 'D'. It doesn't really look like the Huana 'T' either though.
