From playing the last build, I cant see this game being ready by next summer, ive played Alphas in better shape I have to say, I put quite a bit of cash into the game so I don't want the to rush it at all.

Well what can I say this version is more broken than the last. 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. Decided to give up at this point and wait for a new build as 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. So yes you have made some nice changes, abilities getting there (still not brilliant) new spell icons, feels smoother et, there are many more things still very broken. This version is les playable than the last for me.

Some nice changes and feels more like a beta now, and great that your listening to the feedback. New colour changes on health as it gets lower is nice, new spell icons animations etc. Agree with person earlier move culture before stats so don't have to go back to stats if they change. Stats still seem a bit off, Might should not include spell and healing damage. Wizards with max Might just seems wrong in every sense. Move deflection to dexterity, being smart doesn't really help u deflect things being quick does. Could Druid animals have a better tooltip as character Generation, only change between them seems cosmetic, as nothing tells you different. Hope priest lvl 2 spells + will be getting the new icons too. Rangers still start with less than max health and animal companion shows as a white bubble on UI.

New Spell icons are very nice, hope the rest of the lvls get updated too, some vast improvements over previous version, can see the work you guys have put in, much more a playable game now. Have a problem where all the targets are off there dolls, such as try to cast and spell on an enemy and targeting circle shows off to one side. Wizard grimoire clips really badly on character doll. Ranger animal companion Stag running animation is a little weird.

I'm hoping for about double the amount of portraits we have now, as struggled to find one for most of my characters.

same thing with crippling strike and also had all loot re appear and be lootable again.

wolf did same for me, luckily it was a inn created ranger so I could kill him which fixed it lol.

Well I do like the fell of the game etc and some awesome work has gone into it, but I had a big that woudn't let me complete one quest, out of the 2 I finished dragon egg and ogre. Combat isn't great at the mo, but give it some updates and think it will be an awesome game, although would prefer a normal HP mechanic.

What are the difference between druid animal shapes, no descriptions given as to what it actually does? they get different abilities but stats passive effects no clue. Missing moon god head in char creation Returned to previous area to find all loot back again and able to loot it all. Crippling strike stops working after a while (mouse over says already active) If you click to create an adventurer by mistake you have no way of quitting out of it until you have completed creation. Cant complete quests, have the ogre head but cant hand it in. Dragon egg does not appear in inventory if you climb down safely with it. Quests don't update, killed ogre and got dragon egg but both have not updated. Why doesn't ogre head not got in quest items? If u pick item out of stash in none rest area you are stuck with it as your pointer. Characters get stuck in in each other, had to save reload to fix. Cant tell if you have activated abilities as pressed some 4/5 times and waited till next turn and nothing happens. clerics healing the worst, the innate ability not a spell. Combat seems quite sluggish and slow when you use abilities seems ok if you just auto attack. Don't get the 3 dozens versions of currency, do we need to sell these to spend them? currencies for different areas?? BUGS ALREADY KNOWN ranger starts with less health and never fully heals. art assets cant tell anything apart. lots of vff sfx missing

Nearly 18:00 here in the UK looks like we may not get it today.

It's nearly 18:00 in the UK they really should have given keys instructions out before the day, that's if we even get it today.

Very much doubt there will be a physical one as that was the mina reason to pledge $250, also I very much doubt there will be any changes to addon/pledges as they stop being sold on 22nd. I would think there will be one standard pre order price then if they offer one.

Beta is 3-5 hours, 4 quests, 2 full dungeons 1 mini dungeons, 3 areas, 2 wilderness 1 town, lvl range is 5-8, it's only small as they basically want us to try out the classes/races etc and give them feedback on that. Got all this info from many of the videos i've watched from gamescom so straight from Josh's mouth, as the gamescom demo is the backer beta, but only 4 classes have been shown in demos, barbarian/fighter/wizard and Paladin, although I cant find any video footage of the wizard demo. They can always add to the Beta at any time, which is why they have gone with steam.

Any news yet?

Awesome cant wait, wont play too much though as don't want to spoil it.

Well I think from the vote so far it is going to happen but I think we all just need a lot more info. It also depends how they are going to deal with expansion, is it going to be BG1 where it can played in with the main game or BG2 where you play it after or could it be both?

Expansions and Sequel first please, Keep Eternity going, bit like Dragon Age, don't start a new IP stick with the one you have, I want a series of games I can continue to play with the same character like Baldurs gate etc.

I'm still missing mine too.

whoops I forgot what my original title was I picked originally, and have just confirmed my order with Oakheart Arch Druid of the Obsidian Order can I get my title on here changed please.

Not read all the thread but don't really want to confirm my pledge as its totally different to the tier I signed up for, signed up for the $250 tier but doesn't mention documentary expansion wasteland 2 digi download the hardback upgrade on the book, the fact the patch is also the elite one etc will this be rectified?

Obsidian have already commented these companions will have alot more depth than BG2 companions and each take around 2 months to write?

Can we get official confirmation of the15 dungeon levels please? and will we get an updated dungeon pic?

Should it not be 15 dungeon levels with the extra 1 from face book as we hit the 75000 and 77500?
