Likely.

Everything looked pretty rad. Plus grimoire-slamming your enemies in the face is priceless.

I can't believe they really added the "You must gather your part before venturing forth" voiced line. Nostalgia +1000.

Edér's armor looks badass! Droid army still in Who's that red-bearded dwarf now? EDIT: Oh, Healbot ... LOL

Is it me or Aloth portrait was touched up quite a bit to fit the others from a stylistic standpoint? Looking good. Also, Edér confirmed as a Fighter (dark sense of humor as a free bonus).

Looks like Josh is going to play.

Yup. Announced in their latest Kickstarter update. They're making WL2 GOTY Edition for PC, PS4 and Xbox and it will feature updated graphics through Unity 5. I can only hope Obsidian will do the same with PoE.

Except a publisher's marketing department: a) has no idea what I want from a game. b) has no right to tell me what I do or should want from a game. Unfortunately, failure on the publishers' part to grasp such a simple concept: a) killed the isometric party-based RPG genre (publishers arbitrarily and unilaterally decided those games wouldn't sell anymore). b) dumbed down A.I., dialog, and storytelling to a bare minimum in all games because spoiled console kids don't like to use their brains when they game. c) turned RPGs into shooters with swords instead of guns (cough cough Witcher and Dragon Age cough cough). You know how much I am willing to pay for a Witcher game? USD $0. But I forked out USD $250 for PoE and would do so again for PoE2 if given a chance.

Icewind Dale II. For the first time, believe it or not.

For those who would like a meatier look inside the Collector' Book, there's a good preview on Amazon. Looks pretty darn neat

Looks really good! My wife saw the screenshots and said they look "very '90s" :D being PoE the spiritual successor to IE games that it is, I would say, "mission accomplished"!

And now I wish I backed at the $250 tier ... Ah, to be back in time and richer!

Agree with Sensuki. Please remove or provide a means of disabling it.

Even though I pledged toward a digital download of the expansion , I am extremely appreciative of their will to back-port gameplay changes through a free patch. It shows dedication to their backers as opposed to the money-grubbing attitude that is so widespread in the industry. Kudos, Obsidian! Also, TotSC was a brilliant expansion pack and I can only ba glad they're taking inspiration from it for the PoE expansion. If it turns out good and they release it as boxed set, rest assured my cash will go toward it even if I already own the digital version

Apologies mate but if you knew about the Kickstarter, you knew about the collector's edition. It was there from day one. I too couldn't back during the campaign as I had just gotten my first job. I pledged as a Slacker Backer shortly after it ended and made peace with the fact I wouldn't get the goodies. Then Obsidian offered the possibility to upgrade one's pledge for a fairly long time and I managed to get all I wanted.

When I wrote Prima Games about the offer they dodged the question, which disappeared from its description in the link for preordering that was given in Update #90. I'm afraid there will be no offer.

To be fair, the amount they got from Kickstarter is a ridiculously small fraction of a AAA title's average budget—and by "ridiculously small fraction" I mean "less than 1/10th". Considering part of what they gathered went toward fulfilling all pledge rewards (digital and physical goods), it is nothing short of amazing they could pull off a game of the size and scope of Pillars of Eternity. Let us not forget this game runs on an all-new engine, it is set in an all-new world, and it is based off all-new mechanics. This stuff had to be written and coded from scratch on top of creating all the content, and that takes time and money. It is true that this game has shortcomings, but in light of the above I consider them forgivable. The devs are working their assess off to fix as many bugs as possible by release, and will keep supporting the game afterward. They're even working on more portraits and chants, and quite frankly the art that is in the game as of v435 is pretty kick ass. I dropped about $250 on this game, I'm glad I did, and I would do so all over again if given a chance. I'd much rather back a PoE for $250 than purchase a Witcher 3 for $50.

pity if no more icons are coming. The more unique art, the better.

I'm extremely grateful to Sensuki for taking such a huge amount of time to go through the game with a fine comb and hunt for bugs. The game will end up all the better thanks to your efforts. Kudos to you big time!

I recall Brandon saying most magic items would get unique icons by release in one of the backer updates. Good to see progress being made on that front

Now we need sword-and-shield and single weapon to also be viable choices.

Pics of the boxes please

I sure hope if it is, we still get to choose what language we want. I'm Italian and I live in Hungary but you can bet your everything I want my box and manual in English.

+1.

Thank God! Brandon, could you confirm the backer Collector's Edition will look like the mock-up on the Kickstarter page?
