One of the main points people are missing is that there will most likely be no re spawning in the game so not having exits only effectively forces people to tromp back up completely cleared and empty floors to get back outside. They already stated that there's a possibility that it will be quest related and you'll have to be certain levels to get to each new tier (thus forcing you to backpedal out of the dungeon anyways.) Not sure why you would see multiple exits as a game breaker because you wouldn't have to spend 5-10 minutes running through empty space to get back out on your own? There's not really a 'valid' argument here.

We have wanted to go back to our roots and create an epic PC role-playing game adventure for years. But, it's been almost impossible to get funding through traditional methods for a game like this. The great thing about Kickstarter is that we can go directly to the people who love to play RPGs as much as we love to make them. Plus, we don’t have to make compromises with a publisher. We make the development decisions, we market the game, and we don't have to answer to anyone but you – our fans. Our relationship with you can be even closer with Kickstarter. We can be more transparent with development and give you an inside look to what goes on day-to-day with the programmers, artists, and designers of Project Eternity. We want to give you a behind the scenes look at the game's development, and we have fun stuff planned like developer blogs, web broadcasts, dev chats, and much, much more. -

Final Thoughts

Omg, thank you for reminding me I was thinking all day at work "I need to replay NWN2" and you should stop by the forums from time to time for updates (I know I will, but I just won't be on as much as I was.) For example the live stream of Arcanum that will happen since we hit 4 million and who knows what else! -
It's perfectly natural for me to think that my approach is best. Why would I even start this thread otherwise? I strongly believe that allowing the player to walk in and out of a mega dungeon trivializes the experience and panders to people who either want to sell all the loot they find in a typically grindy fashion, or people who don't appreciate huge dungeons to begin with. With that in mind I fail to see why I should humour people who favour exits by pretending to like their opinions. At the very most, I respect that they have a different opinion to my own, but i'm not going to pat them on the back and say they're right. I have to ask why it would matter if there was an exit or not, given the fact that you can choose not to use the exit and play the game your way. Keeping in mind that the Mega dungeon is a bonus for everyone for backing the project, it's not something that should be catered to just a few people. (I personally prefer the hardcore dungeon trots of wizardry myself) But, I also understand that others would prefer something different and have no issues with just not using any exits that may or may not be in the dungeon.

I agree, I too will be ducking out to do other things. I've had Dishonored sitting in my PS3 waiting for me for the past week to play it, and come January of next year i'll be looking forward to some Ni No Kuni playtime. -

You know what, if the gay and lesbian community wants those options, that's fine. BUT and this is a huge BUT it better not be anything like it was with Anders in DA2, where by just being nice to him forced you into a conversation that lead to him disliking you because you didn't want to have sex with him. That's where I draw the line, if it's going to be in the game I don't want to ever have to see it, because it literally ruins characters for me. (You can call me prejudice if you want but I have a real life friend who is gay, and it doesn't bother me. But it really irked me in DA2 the way it was presented.) -
Which tier did you choose?
Loranc replied to Althernai's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I chose the.... 'never going to get out of deb tier', as I racked up more money onto my credit card. (Also known as the 288 dollar tier) 250 for the signed CE + goodies, 20 for the limited edition sound track, 10 for the playing cards, and 8 for the Obsidian title. -

Hmm so last Paypal information was 140,000 putting us at 4,126,929. We did well over and beyond 4 million, and still have an old backer number from Paypal. 76,186 backers. It's very possible that we have over 75,000 backers if I had new Paypal information. Which means we may have 15 Mega dungeon levels, and we already are going to have an amazing game + cats (I swear I will go stir crazy if Adam doesn't own up to the cats thing ). -

We have breached 72,500 that means 13 levels of the mega dungeon are in and we are about 150,000 from 4 million with 4 hours and 27 minutes to go. -
