Pillars of Eternity – Partnership FAQ for Backers
Hmm this point about customer service being handled by Paradox, I worry that Obsidian will become distant from their backers, sort of like the backers will beocme the responsibility of Paradox. Not sure how that will play out.

Fulfilment site?
I have been been receiving updates from Obsidian on the PE, so I am still a Backer (used PayPal) but well, I would like to see the Fulfilment site up and running as well, even if it was a bare bones one. PE is my biggest pledge to date, and I am a litle anxious the site is taking so long to put together. I hope the plans for the site has not been put on hold, just delayed.

Update #29: Fulfillment and the Pros and Cons of Nostalgia and Realism
Thanks for update on fulfilment site. Will this mean when the fulfilment page goes live, the donations will close? It has been some time since the kickstarter ended. Should be more than enough time for anyone wanting to get on board, to get on board. Also will be kickstarter site be updated anymore? Or should I just come here for updates?

Hello LordCrash, about the shield you offered to help us make, I found a logo I liked, http://frpic.com/vectors/flame-vector/flame-vector-3.png My Order title is Blessed of The Obsidian Order. Thanks!

Please no more "go here" quest markers!
Just make it optional if arrows, tooltips, etc are visible to the player or not. That should satisfy the majority of players.

The Obsidian Order of Eternity wants YOU! part 6
Hey LordCrash, thanks for the mail Been busy getting back to my usual schedule now that the game development has started. It all sounds wonderful and thanks for doing this for us. I am also wondering are we taking on new members? With Obsidian still accepting PayPal donations all this time after the Kickstarter has ended, the question seems to be muddled.

No fetch quests
I think the typical player wants a lot to do in a game. That is one way to justify xx number of hours. And fetch quests are the filler, in between all the good stuff. Good creative writing takes time and often effort. I just feel we should not expect too much from the writers.

Oversexualization of females in video games
Even though we are not looking to have all the ladies look like the warrior princess, hopefully obsidian will not put too much plate on the ladies that they end up overly encumbered, and got to stay home.

Dev Q: Project Eternity and "Mature Content"
Mature themes do not start with violence and end with sex. Obsidian understands that. Themes even the hard topics such as slavery, prostitution (I am thinking a seedy underworld where people are exploited and worse), the hard and often harsh side of life. Themes you do not find in happy fairy tales. I for one will like to see how Obsidian deals with the difficult stuff. Are they able to empathize with the down-trodden, will their characters champion world peace, etc. Sure sex and violence has its place in life, and should have a place in Obsidian games. They should include them tastefully and appropriately.

Pacts with demons and infernal bargains
The lore will have its share of gods and devils and it will be natural to have desperate souls willing to trade their souls for that something extra.

Pacts with demons and infernal bargains
Yes I also found the subplot in DA:O involving the demon to be refreshing and I feel it added a lot of detail to the otherworldly realms of DA:O. I believe Obsidian will do well to consider taking some lessons from that game and make PE even better. Instead of the often used 'got to save the world' why not start with a 'saving yourself' approach?
