Because ladies have lady parts and they're tired of not having an avatar they can project themselves into. Is like the female equivalent of the dude that will only play games if the MC is a dude, not one of those androgynous JRPG dudes but a real one, with a beard and a Mohawk. Seriously, their argument is just as ridiculous. I can only imagine the BS that would occur if Samus just now outted herself.

Hm, I don't believe it. A) Those who paid to contribute content didn't only pay to contribute content. Didn't they get to bounce ideas directly with Obsidian? Oh and paying for "You get to design a backer item!" is also a sure-shot 100% hit. Not to mention you'll get some renown for it as well I'd imagine. B) What we have been doing here, discussing ideas, thoughts, what's good and bad, analyzing and picking stuff apart... it's been indirect contribution. Who knows... some of JFSOCC's design ideas might've made it into the game but with a different name, different look, but the core inspiration comes from it... I wouldn't say that it is 100% certain that this is the case (don't expect anything), but there might be a chance. - Paying for Backer Content = Direct Influence/Contribution+Obsidian gives feedback to Backer/Designer. 100% chance of getting in. - Posting on Forums, no BC = Indirect Influence/Contribution+We give feedback to Obsidian/Designer. Depending on the idea, has a higher chance of getting in or "inspired by", but for the sake of the example... let's say "Roll 1d100". Well, that's what I believe at least. EDIT: Furthermore, weapons statistics & title is one of the easiest things to mod in most games. I could create like 100 "backer" weapons after the game has released.. but will it get anywhere near as much respect or renown as a backer who paid to be in the official product? Nope. Everyone who plays Pillars of Eternity without mods will be able to find the Backer Content. This is also something that you're paying for. Not to be an asshat, but people put waaaaaaaaaaay too much stock in how influencial forums are. They teach you not to post on forums for a reason.

The real gem wasn't in the update at all, but was the screen grab of a few of the backer items in the code.

Yeah, am I not supposed to have visited Obsidian last year because it would have hurt someone's feelings?
-
Yup, only talking about where they were in the process. And now they are far enough along to show gameplay.

We're about to see why those guys went to E3.

I never know when I'm talking to my Australians.

Please do spout that hipster BS somewhere else, you'll find it's not really taken to kindly here. They were pretty straight-forward. They said they wanted to make an original IP, and that this was one of their only options to do so. You can feel "betrayed" all you want, but it really just sounds like you spent a lot of money and now you are realizing you shouldn't have. Again: you just have buyer's remorse. Obsidian are some of the most dedicated people in this industry. And how, pray tell, would they have done that? They run their business the way they want. If you thought you were funding some sort of revolution... I'd go back to dreaming of a glorious industry crash that will surely bring world peace. Do you also think that if you're good and pure of heart you'll get everything you want just because? That you can get any job you want just because? By the way, what do you think the Kickstarter was if not marketing? What do you call 79 updates if not transparency?

I don't even really know what you're trying to get at here. Yes, similar concepts are going to be similar.

You wrote all that and you end it with "but I really have no freaking idea what I'm talking about". Wow.

Leliana I can let slide. She has a very valid set of Plot Armor. Zevran never showed up in the runs where I had imported people that had killed him.
