This is a fantastic game. I'm a Kickstarter backer and I was delighted to start playing yesterday. I'm so very happy with how it's turned out. It's a rich gestalt of beautiful artwork, great writing and deep gameplay.
One problem though - if almost entirely insignificant and more than somewhat egotistical - it seems that I was left out of the Kickstarter backer credits...
Did this happen to anyone else?
The Forgotten
in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)

Hmmm. Not sure if that's the case.
Backers in the credits are divided into two categories: Gold and just plain ol' Kickstarter. I'm sure there are a good 70k+ names there in total. Just not me.
Hardly a major a problem though considering that Pillars of Eternity and Wasteland 2 are the only Kickstarter games I backed that - you know - actually deliver an experience in the spirit of the original pitch without resorting to a weaselly ret-conning* of "expectations".
Once again, it's a fantastic game and a great job by Oblivion.
*any implied reference to weaselly ret-conning of adventure game and space trading simulation crowd-funding expectations is entirely coincidental. In fact, I didn't even mention anybody using emotive 'PC / Old School' memes as part of a crowd funding campaign that was generating funds for a business model which actually intended to encompass a multi-platform market all along. You know something else? I never said nothin' about how embracing such a model may result in products that are almost the antithesis of the original pitch and - ironically - resemble the very thing to which the crowd-funding movement was a reaction. Only cheaper. Mofo's.
