No it's not. 1. You're still including a physical copy with your digital tier options. Two different things. 2. You're not paying $110 for the expansion to go from $140 to $250. You're getting extra physical stuff. Extra physical stuff costs money. You get the expansion for free at this level. 3. Again, physical and digitial. Physical items costs more money. Apples and oranges. You need to compare digitial tiers to digital tiers to keep it in context. Not compare digitial to physical. A better way to look at it is, buy the $140 collectors edition and then buy the expansion for say $20 (no idea what it's going to cost) when it's released. You're only paying $160.00. If you buy the $250 collectors edition, your main aim is to get all the physical stuff, not necessarily the expansion. It's cheaper to go with the $140 option than the $250 option. If you're going for the $250 option from the $140 tier purely for the expansion, then that sounds silly.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to Sarkus's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)No. Getting people to pledge at higher tiers will make a better base game. I don't understand why people can't understand that basic concept.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to Badmojo's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Great update. As others have said, just look at the other IE games and their expansions. That's what it's going to be like.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to Fluffle's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'm putting my real name and home town. It's a pretty unique and memorable name for a town.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to NerdBoner's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'd be very surprised they could do a game similar to BG1 or IWD with less than 3 million across three different platforms and include all the extra physical stuff like cloth maps, boxes, etc and post the games all over the world. The digital distribution costs would also have to be taken into consideration with the download tiers as well. Obsidian would have to be relying on after market/kickstarter sales to turn a profit.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to metiman's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)When I first played, I was like WTH? Now, I don't have a problem with it. It's one of those games that's divided the community. Some like it, others hate it. Our DM who's played 3, 3.5 and 4th prefers 4th edition. A couple of players in our group have tested out D&D Next and while they like some things, other things they don't. There are some WTH? things in D&D Next like the disengage mechanic and shifting 2 squares.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to metiman's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)In battle, you could potion spam by using items like armor (Battle Harness comes to mind) that can retrieve an item with a free action. a Minor action to drink it and a free action to drop the empty bottle. You still have 2 more actions left you could do, a move and standard attack. Second round? Rinse and repeat. This is well within the rules. You could do it 50 times. Unless the DM nerfs items, rules, etc, then why bother playing. Healing surges stop this. What about after a battle? I can potion spam without resting. Who needs rest? Fighters and Thieves don't. Maybe some other classes don't need rest either. There's no reason to rest for some characters. Just potion spam and continue. 4th ed stops this with its healing surges.

The same can be said for mods.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to metiman's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It basically stops you from potion spamming. I'll just drink 50 potions while fighting - a potion in one hand with a sword in my other. :/

Hiro Protagonist II replied to Ilrahan's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'd rather a game world that's somewhat believable and the consequences that go with it.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to metiman's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'd have to agree. My two favourites are 2nd and 4th edition. I've been playing 4th edition about 2 years now and what I found most surprisinlgly when I first played it was that it's strikingly similar to 2nd edition. 3rd Edition I didn't like.

It is true. The problem with a lot of mods is the modders will add things that are just game breaking. Lets make this NPC do stuff or increase their stats that they normally can't in the original game! Yep, nice work with that mod.
-
uh no. The world map hasn't been finalised yet. The UI is better and more in line with BG2. Why waste time downloading mods when you already have the bugs fixed? Also most mods break the game with OP game breaking items and NPCs. So all in all, you get a game that's been fixed instead of you having to waste time going through at least 15 steps in downloading and installing mods that still make it an inferior version with tiny resolutions and OP items/NPCs.

I'm all for it. Over 400 bug fixes, updated cutscenes, world map and to be able to play it on widescreen with new characters and area. I still have my old discs that I use so this will be a welcome upgrade.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to camjackson's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I've always preferred BG1.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to HungryHungryOuroboros's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Now that I see the old D&D banners, I think the new logo fits well with them. I've changed my mind. I now like the new logo better and where it's heading.

Hiro Protagonist II replied to Death Machine Miyagi's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Feargus has already confirmed twice now that the high tier $1000+ backers are getting a forums to talk with the dev's. I don't know why people keep calling this a rumour.
