  1. Good evening community, first and probably last time posting on this forum. I have been following POE's development with great enthusiasm. Regardless moot public response with first backers beta, I've been 110% sure that Obsidian can give us the game which we all have been waiting for since BG2. However, I do think that this confusion is remarkably disastrous failure on Obsidian's part, and quite clearly points out that publishing game consist more variables than only developing the game itself. Delivering actual game should not be regarded as a nuisance. I've been now truly perplexed about this whole voting process and when people are going to get their physical editions. It probably was only because my unfounded optimism – for which I can only put blame on myself – but I truly think that previous poll was misleading. At least I was under the impression that non-US backers would receive their physical stuff at somewhere around 26th and get their fair chance to hype themselves up before submerging into the adventures of Eora. This comes down to the poll mentioned – now obsolete of course – but I really think that Obsidian should have clearly stated that they are shipping physical goods only after 26th March. Retrospectively, in my point of view, there were thus only two options: “Life-is-unfair” – a**ra** to all non-US backers with only cons. “Communism” – slight delay for all, at the “cost” that backers receive their stuff intact. Perhaps I misread/misunderstood meaning of the poll or did not pay enough attention, but I currently think it is somewhat outrageous that non-US backers get only the worst of both options – discs might now even come before box thus making “choice” obsolete. The delays are quite common in cases like this and I understand it, but still I would like to have known what I'm really voting. I’m only somewhat disappointed, because I do have time to wait for physical manuals (also my elf cloak and boots of speed replicas from Amazon haven't arrived yet), but I fully understand people who express their concerns more vocally - LordCrash I feel your pain. Also it can be said that everyone has still possibility to play the gog/steam version and read electronic manual. However, back in the days it was integral part of the BG2 experience to get to know world and mechanics by reading them from the handbook, looking details from the paper map and being super enthusiastic about adventures and the world I would be soon immersed into. Okay, blame me being autistic for not getting same feeling with electronic manuals, but that was the reason why I even backed the way I did, and would figure that others would feel the same way. To summarize, I really do feel for the guys, who have invested vast amounts of the money to project, only to realize that they still have to wait couple of weeks while knowing that their boxes is not intact (or does not include discs). And this only for the reason that people in the US can get their stuff sooner. In hindsight if those two options have been more explicit, there would have been greater fuss about whether options are even viable or comparable with each other. I do not want to be regarded being ass, neither hear proposals whether I should study more about geography of different continents: like said I can manage even few weeks delay, and as a big boy already, I can probably even handle the possible situation where the discs arrive before other collectibles. But it still quite difficult to forgive that voting were based on faulty premises. And about that Amazon edition - that would defy the physics and (union politics) if they are able to deliver it at the 26th? Right? Right...?
