Hi there, I have a question for Obsidian staff. I'm a backer, and decided to register to clarify one important question, related to this update. This question, IMO, concerns all Russian (and maybe Polish) backers.
On the one hand - yay, Russian translation (though I prefer to play original versions, many of my friends prefer to play in our language)! On the other - Houston, we *may* have a problem. Our distributors like to lock us to Russian version only.
Case in the point - Fallout New Vegas. I've bought it on release and paid full US price. When Steam has opened their Russian version, SUDDENLY all the people who have bought F:NV found themselves having Russian version of this game. Which, of course, was incompatible with original DLC. So, while other countries could have already bought it, IIRC, in February, 2012, we were forced to wait until August.
And it could be much worse, because thankfully, Bethesda's Gamebryo architecture manages translations as mods, so we at least *could* play it in original language. And that, sadly, couldn't be said about many other games.
So I repeat - please, could you answer - would backers from Russia (and Poland, though I don't know details of their situation, but doubt that their distributors behave themselves better then ours) would have an access to original version, or do you lock us to our regional?
tl;dr: I'm pledging 50$ right now, and I REALLY, REALLY want to have a clarification - would backers from all across the world would have an access to original version of the game? Or would you send us to our Russian Ghetto?
