Check dev tracker then go back bout a week I think, already very heated discussions over this, the point of the vote etc.

Digital Keys will be released on backer portal, where we will choose our format.

If your an international/euro backer we have been pretty much told that we will get our physical good after release. How much depends on where you are but could be 1-2 weeks.

it can be either a title or a name these were going to go into the game credits as far as im aware but I think these should have been filled in quite a while ago, or it may just be the forum version from to get your title.

Yes it has pretty much been confirmed that it is going to be a side story and not a continuation of the main game, like many have said its similar to "tales of the sword coast" with around the same amount of content as "Trials of the Luremaster" which was bigger than "heart of winter".

Any chance we can get some pics of the physical editions and items backers will get, this looks really good and great quality so cant wait to get my collectors edition, I wish pics had already been released though, as its a little disappointing to start seeing things all over the web and I even browsed the collectors book in my local comic shop yesterday as they already have them on sale, its awesome by the way really nice.

i'm thinking they will be separate, and all the physical items are in transit but most if not will be arriving after release, especially for international backers.

There are physical edition's available for sale, check your normal game sites and i'm sure you will find one, physical collectors editions were for backers only, and cant be bought anymore as far as I am aware.

Yes its gonna be awesome. played all the backer beta few a few times, even the small area we got to play is very cool and has a lot in it.

The goods would have to be shipped today (or earlier) for a lot of people around the world for them to receive the boxed goods by the 26th. It's why I voted for option 2 because I know I wouldn't be receiving the box by the 26th. And also to receive the box with no dvd after the game is released and then the dvd even longer is not something I was looking forward too. If I'm going to have to wait, I'd much rather wait for the complete item with dvd and sealed for my collectors edition. Not a sealed collectors edition with no dvd and for the dvd to turn up later. But then I suppose there's a lot of naivety from people who voted in the poll. On tops, i think it's quite unfair to let people of various pledge levels vote on the same thing. It's not a huge deal to get a regular physical game pack without DVD if you can get a digital code at release. But a $500 signed collector's edition is a completely different league. People really buy that because they want to COLLECT it. Part of collecting is having an unbroken, unsealed box. A box that won't contain a game DVD now. That way Obsidian really gave a big **** you to their biggest fans, to those who really paid a lot during the kickstarter. Sure, we're just a few, who cares about us. It's a majority poll so let's listen to all those $60 DVD box customers (or just anyone on the forum no matter which box they've pledged for or whether they've pledged for anthing at all...) how they decide how much the collector's edition will be worth in the end... And now we don't even get the boxes on time. That's so ****ed up, I'm really kind of speechless. Huge disappointment for me and probably for most other high tier backers, additionally here in Europe... Agree I don't really see the whole point of that vote, yes we will get the game on time (digital version) but so will Joe blogs who bought it off amazon, firstly I was peeved that the physical edition of the strategy guide was going to include "exclusive bonuses" as this was not even mentioned (will the digital version have these) as this was not available as an add on to the KS, its gonna have my name in but I have to buy it from the shop to get all the exclusive things from the sounds of it. Then the physical goods are going to be delayed. This was my first ever KS and I took a huge leap of faith as spent over $300 on this. I do think its all going to be worth it, as the game looks and plays amazing, but the end of this KS has left a me disappointed.

It is looking like everything will be shipped pretty close to release day for folks in the U.S.. International deliveries may be a couple of weeks after release, unfortunately. Once we receive confirmation of delivery from Paradox we will let you guys know. This is really disappointing, I thought the reason for sending the game out without the game disk was so that we would get the game pretty much on time, I live in the uk and was expecting all but the game disks to arrive around the 26th. Now its a few weeks after, then the game disks a few weeks later, hasn't someone already stated the all the physical aspects of the rewards are complete, is this not true? Understandable. Just so everyone is aware, the physical rewards are all finished (and signed, for those items that required signatures). I realize you aren't looking for excuses, but we had some pretty serious issues shipping into the port of Los Angeles due to labor unions shutting down the docks. It was resolved, but it put a crimp into our shipping plans. We are trying our hardest to get those items shipped to you as quickly as possible. Thanks for the reply, you should really put this kinda info into the KS updates then people would understand, as all the info in the last KS update I had seen a while before the update. Would it be possible to get pics of all the physical stuff etc, next to each other so we can have a look at what we are getting. I'm surprised pics haven't been released before now. I know you guys are doing your best and appreciate it, but would be nice if the backers got a little more info before other websites and press.

Looks awesome and went over way to quick, cant wait to watch the full thing, looks very professional and way better than a lot of behind the scenes stuff I have seen.

19:00 in the UK think we might get it today? Depends on when you go to bed . QA should be finished with everything in the next few hours. After that it only takes me 20 or 30 minutes to upload the build of distribution. about 1 am

And the kickstarter update from last wed ??? We have an update that we are holding off on posting until the beta goes live. Once the beta goes live the update should go out that day (today or tomorrow) or the next. Thought as much, hope this one has loads of info, as its been quiet lately, but I understand you are working on the game.

And the kickstarter update from last wed ???

I think Obsidian need to deliver a bug free POE before another kickstarter as at the moment there are quite a few unhappy people with the state of the backer beta and think this would really affect future kickstarters, but if they release a great game then they could hit even higher numbers than POE.

The Druid summon blights spells don't run out. Also the Wizard shock duplicate (cant remember official spell name) does the same, this used to happen with the summon skeletons from the chanter but not tested that again yet. Cast the 4th lvl version and the earth blight wont go away, rested, tried killing it, went back to town, it wont leave. It also slows the movement speed of my whole party to slow, unless I move the whole party then select a normal party member which then speeds it back up.

First time I have felt this game is actually playable, haven't had any major bugs in village, or up to ogre, great work guys, you have my restored my faith to this game. Talent system way better than the old version (although still needs some improvements) Lots of new icons for spells and items, still some to go Examine area are back such as painting etc First build where I have actually gained a lvl meaning xp works New Loading screen with tooltips. Char generation suggests attributes based on class. Can change default colours on your other heroes now. Now tells you when your stealing an item. Backer Npc's have a story in there description (although don't get this at all seems totally out of place) Things I still want changing Can you tell us in Char generation what the druid animal forms do? Talents need more icons (subsets) at the moment its only general and class, and more info be nice such as numbers how much thing are improves what things actually improve etc. More portraits please, we have more hair, but still most of the time cant find a portrait to match. (yes I know you can import) Still not keen on the whole health/endurance thing but doubt that's gonna change.

Yes didn't play this build much at all as even more broken than the last, and i'm still waiting for a kickstarter update to tell me the game has been delayed, as i'm sure there are a lot of backers who don't know yet. I'm guessing it will be a while before a new build with how much there is to fix and improve just to get the beta to a playable state. Then there is the improvements feedback to work on, it would be nice to get at least another 2 build before the holidays.

You used to be able to click on magnifying glasses in certain places to get a little bit of info such as on paintings in the inn etc, these have all been removed, not sure why as they were a nice flavour, now we seem to have all the backer npc to check out but do nothing (im taking this is just to preview the model etc)

Spoilers for Dragon Egg quest use a grappling hook, bought from town.

FIX BUGS make the game playable, I want to play as either a Druid or Ranger and they seem to the the most bugged classes in the game, Ranger is still missing health, and cant fully heal, and the whole share the health thing im not so keen on, Druids shapeshifting is just a bit pointless at the moment, I get stuck in human form with a random ability where the shapshifted ability should be not able to equip any items etc, why no summon spells? and from previous comments movement speed is fine, maybe paladin buffs makes it a little quick but in general any slower and it would be boring, also spell effects are definitely not way to flashy as most look very similar, or just don't have one at the moment. Extra time should not be to add things it should be to make the game playable, everytime I try the backer beta I come across a game breaking bug, ive given up now until a new build comes out. Way more portraits needed, double or maybe even more, and let both males and females share all hairs, at least it would give us more options. Agree with most the beta we have doesn't give us no where near a decent impression of most things in the game.

Maybe I played the wrong are as my experience was very different. Started a new game as both a ranger and a druid, switched from my ranger to my druid save games (both new games for this build) and could not select my druid by his portrait only by clicking on his body, also he had the white bubble next to his portrait normally a ranger pet. Thought I would try the lion/druid area out rather than go through the quests again. For some reason my entire party received a movement buff, no icon to tell me where it was from and continued after I rested, so I was zooming around the area, fun but I don't think intended. I entered the spider dungeon cleared it only to get to the webbed tunnel, cleared the web with my fighter and 2 of my party members fell during the battle with the spiderlings that ambush you. After the fight had finished my 2 fallen party members would not get back on there feet even though they had half health left so were not fully dead. On top of those major bugs every time I tried to use the priests innate healing ability not a spell I would have to click the button around 5-10 times to select it, it goes dark green and begins to cast, this happened with other abilities too, such as the druids bear form.
