Placing bets on who'll be the first to name an island "Where am I?!"
There are going to be so many "interesting" names. We are going to need a way to export the map when we finish the game.

It may be a good time to remember that the forum population may not be representative of the game's players.

The first step would be to stop using that hashtag. When evidence of corruption in game journalism is presented it is important to state that you oppose sexism, threats and violence against feminist and gemedevs. Trolls must be starved.GamerGate is tainted with sexism. There are people with valid concerns about game journalism. But They are doing themselves a disservice by associating with the sexist of GamerGate.
As long as this association continues the concerns can be easily brushed aside.
This is true. But hard to avoid, given how easy it is to troll a hashtag, either the opposition or a third group.

Yeah, what I still don't get is what "ethics" or "integrity" in games media has to do with whether they make political statements or not. (Or which political statements they make.) I mean, mainstream media includes political op-eds, including those dealing with gender politics, and including some that offend some of their audience-- very few people considers that fundamentally unethical. A film critic might encourage folks to avoid a film because it includes offensive sexist themes, and nobody calls him/her unethical.
Sure, games-related media are largely bought and paid for. This is old news that no mass movements were seriously raging about a few months ago. And, to my knowledge, nobody is sending death threats to the managing editor of IGN over their relationship with EA's marketing department.
So I can't help but conclude that "ethics" is a red herring. Aside from particularized reactions to specific individual actions (e.g., insulting tweets and the like), and although sweeping statements about a group only defined by the hashtag they use are inherently difficult, it seems that, predominantly, GG's objection is politics. Specifically, games criticism that focuses on gender politics and on how the audience for games influences and is influenced by said politics should be "off the table" for some reason. Because "SJWs" are bad and oppressing their free speech. It's become just another "anti-political-correctness" derpfest-- as if pointing out and judging somebody for being a jerk somehow restricts the rights of that jerk to continue jerking.
Very true I have looked into GamerGate I have found very disturbing stuff.
And let's face it: "Paid" reviews are not going away as long as game journalism requires ad revenue to be operational.

Cool! Just pre-purchased it.

I don't care about the number of attributes.Q1: The current hypothesis is that PE must have SIX (6) attributes because the IE games (and D&D) had six attributes. Does nostalgia require that this be so ? Would you be upset if it was 5 or 7 ?
Yes.Q2: Do you think that defenses should be weighed against other prominent combat stats such as Accuracy and Damage ? (as in, should you have to choose between putting points into damage or accuracy instead of into deflection or willpower)
One attribute.Q3: Should Health and Stamina be spread across two attributes or would you prefer that they be married in advancement under one attribute ?
It should depend on an attribute.Q4: What do you think about Deflection be attribute independent ?
Yes.Q5: Should Action Speed be influenced by attributes?
It should depend on strength.Q6: Should inventory size be handled by attributes like it was in the IE games. If so, how do you see this being handled ?

Cheating can be fun, so I'd like to have the option.

Is the badge exclusive to Kickstarter? Or should people who used PayPal during the Kickstarter timeframe get it too?

More content? More content! Yay!

Hi, I used the opportunity the backer site offered to join the Order. I'd like to be Lord President of the Obsidian Order.
@Praemorior: Did you pledge using Kickstarter or did you use PayPal?
-
Cool!
The Teaser looks nice.
And I used the opoortunity to increase my pledge by 8 $ to join the Obsidian Order.

Must resist... trollvote... Call of Duty...

Well you could depopulate the Mojave and then take over New Vegas.
Yeah, give us the possibility to do it, again.

3.5 Million? In five days? I think that's very unlikely.

The expansion pack is an add-on, so you do the same thing as for the other add-ons. Let me find the Update for it:
http://www.kickstart...ty/posts/311594
So what you do, and I've been doing this since I have as many add-ons as my base tier, is you pledge for your tier and then manage your pledge by including the money for each add-on. At the end of the campaign, you'll get a message sent to the email account you used for Kickstarter asking what you want and how. So, if you bought in at $35, then you'll up your pledge by $25 to $60. At the end of the Kickstarter campaign, you'll respond to the email with instructions for the $35 tier and the $25 xpac. I hope this helps, but I would definitely read the update. The infor about add-ons is up at the top.
I asked about paypal.
You see, there is no addon for the expansion.
So... is the "Donate Your Own Amount" button the way to go?
-
Is there going to be a Paypal option for the Expansion Pack since currently there isn't? Or do we have to do something complicated for it?
Cheers
I'd like to know that, too.
