How I finally got this fixed: Completely removed GoG Galaxy AND PoEII from system. Complete and total clean removal. Reinstalled GoG Galaxy Reinstalled PoE II This now enabled the checkboxes, BUT! Rum Runners checkbox still didn't show! And they were all DISABLED by default. Resigned to not care about rum runners, I manually enabled each and every one, which took forever. OK all good (except rum runners). Then I decided to try and manually install rum runners. As soon as I did the manual install, ALL the checkboxes disappeared, and my game in GoG Galaxy said "unverified". So I uninstalled rum runners, and then i re-verified the game files. FINALLY, rum runners showed as a checkbox. I enabled it, and everything is now up to date and working.

Actually, now that I got everything working, its still not working for the Rum Runners DLC. I have already "purchased" rum runners via GOG, but its not actually showing or enabling or anything. What a frustrating experience this is.

Spent several hours today getting my game working properly - All because I couldn't get the Critical Role pack to install. Basically, it started out with, all of my DLC options in Galaxy Client were greyed out. Completely. I couldn't enable or disable anything. The only things enabled were the ones available on release. First I tried all the documented support steps on GOG to refresh my account. Then I tried reinstalling the galaxy client. I even reinstalled the game. NOTHING. The only thing that got it working was a complete CLEAN uninstall of BOTH the galaxy client AND the game - which of course took forever due to download. After the nice clean install, NONE of the DLC is active by default. So I had to manually enable each and every DLC - which wouldn't be a big deal, except... it takes 10 minutes for EACH DLC to activate. It's not even downloading. It's just churning. Best I can tell, it is re-verifying the ENTIRE game before every single DLC activiation. This whole thing has been an absolutely horrible experience. Add to that the fact that I had POE1 on Steam, and now I can't get Gauns Pledge because of it... just ugh. It's really crappy that I can't just swap my key at this point. GOG is totally ruining this experience for me. Please, work with GOG to fix the install and activation of DLC to not be such a major pain in the keester?

As mentioned in that Reddit thread, Steam's patcher simply rewrites the entire game file that contains the change. I predict GOG's patch will be a few MB. Because they are doing it wrong. Steam has diff-patching now, and has for some time. They just aren't using the patch system properly on steam. Maybe because they don't know how, or maybe because they are too lazy. IDK.

For a minor patch, you must have totally fubar'd steam. 1.3 GB download, and I'm not the only one. https://www.reddit.com/r/projecteternity/comments/5ef0ra/13_gb_update_today/

Interesting to read everyone's posts here - I do get the general feel in any case that 1st Edition AD&D is, like many other things of its era, mostly an edge case. In other words, people do still play it, but it is going to be difficult to find enough of them to run a good campaign. I am mostly ignorant of online Pen and Paper communities - I wonder if there might be more people online using some of the RPG tools I've seen floating around to play some of the more obscure / older pen and paper stuff "online".

This sums up my opinions on the subject.

Sounds like horrible planning on EA's part - for something like that, a $20 dollar use on anything code, you don't make it multiple user multiple use. You give each user a single use single person code upon completion of the survey. This is basic stuff. Whoever messed this up in their marketing department will likely have a bad day at work.

JUST HIT 4 MILLION! 3864454 on KS, 137500 on paypal! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Up to 3,794,000 on kickstarter. 30,000 in 30 minutes.

Per live stream, paypal is at 132,000. Kickstarter at 3,764,554 which puts it just shy of 3,900,000. can they do another 100k in the next 3.5 hours? i think so.

I had originally pledged 50, but I am one of the luck 30 who was able to get in on the 350 dollar loot bag tier - I pledged a total of 368 - 350 for tier, 10 for playing cards, and 8 for OOoE

I thought these weren't two separate things but the house was upgraded to the stronghold? No, you get both a house AND a stronghold.

No way, that was one of the things I skipped immediately. It didn't add anything, to the plot or the character. I would disagree - I think it added alot to the lore and background of the character, especially and including the discussions leading up to its eventual happening.

Not that it affects me personally, since I can't afford that tier (plus they sold out in about 12 minutes anyway), but can anyone explain this - why can't non-US backers just add extra for the shipping? Also, would you mind telling us what software was used for those renderings, out of interest? It likely has to do with import/export laws and customs, and/or where the chips are being specifically sourced from (eg AMD USA, not AMD Global).

Wow - That loot bag deal is awesome - I switched as soon as I saw it - seconds later it sold out! Barely got it! I don't "need" the CPU - but I can definitely use it - My only question would be - will the CPU ship out before project eternity is released in 2014? I would hope so

I am OK with "romance" - but first things first - friendship - should be the first priority, and is far more important. I want to be able to build friendships. Romance is "secondary" to that, and I can do with or without it - if it flows naturally, fine - if it feels forced, then its going to break the 4th wall. In addition, you can have "romance" without "sex" - To use an example from Dragon Age: Origins - I was completely enthralled by Leliana's song sung to the PC - but I found the "sex" scenes rather forced and out of place. tl;dr - friendship first, romance only if it "fits" and makes sense.

Aleax of the Obsidian Order Signing In!

Woohoo! Add at *least* another 100k from paypal pledges too!

Just broke 3,375,000 - assume 100,000 from paypal, and that puts it 25k away.

Then you're knocked out/out of the fight. It's not a whole lot different from being knocked out but not killed in D&D. When combat ends or when another character restores some of your Stamina, you're back up. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that it's more work. And what of "expert" mode death (or normal with it enabled)? Is it permanent, ala "hardcore" mode in other games such as D3? Or can you simply reload a prior savegame?

Restating all of the above for emphasis. The stamina/health thing has me a bit disconcerted - so say I am playing, and I get knocked out, and while knocked out, they finish off my health. What then? Game over? I literally start from scratch?

Would you like to have Photoshop or Windows Movie Maker start everytime you run a game? This is a false equivalency and a rather poor one at that. Steam is DRM - it just so happens to be a DRM that a fair number of people find acceptable. If you don't find it acceptable, no problem! Just stick to a version without DRM - or, just don't support the project at all! I personally refuse to buy the Assassins Creed games, for example, due to the highly intrusive DRM they have had. I find steam drm to be much more palatable - I don't exactly prefer it, but it is something I can live with, that only minimally restricts me.

Pretty much this - if anything, I would favor an option to "hide" quest markers for those players who want a more "natural" experience. Another possible way to handle would be the fashion I have seen other games handle it - a spell of some type that points you in the correct direction (such as an on-screen light trail that is only visible for a view moments), but personally I prefer having proper quest markers that at least get me in the vicinity of an objective.
