This x1000. I think the problem is people just don't damn well read. Obsidian were obvious about what they wanted and where they were planning to take the game. It's not about the animations - or graphic fidelity, or combat - its about the story, the backdrop and the companions. If the game does not deliver with that - then I will be irate at Obsidian.

Yup, funnily enough animations and graphics are not the most important issue with the game. Story, characters, music, mood helps a bit.... The guys at obsidian seem to understand that, particularly Chris Avellone. As long as it is well written I'll be happy.

Don't know about anyone else, but when I decided to back POE, first and foremost I was looking for something along the lines of IWD2. A good story, well written dialogue, maybe a narrator instead of voiced characters which would really bring back some memories.... What I wasn't looking for was rag doll physics and exploding enemas... I mean enemies. Otherwise I could just just play DA2.
