my unpacking just shot from 2 minutes all way up to 40 mins :/

Just finishing up downloading these last two minutes and hopefully it will be playable! Have fun everyone!!!

For those using steam, restart in offline, then restart to online and there will be a 119mb(or somewhere around there) update for PoE.

Ooops, sorry.

So I found myself surfing around the net looking for stuff on PoE and came across a nice article to read. Hopefully it helps pass the time. Also post your links of other interesting articles out there. http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/25/8284763/how-pillars-of-eternity-rewrites-the-rules-for-role-playing

might go pick up some zours if I can find any, if not twizzlers and tea

Because a game goes gold weeks before release, at which time the content is locked. This gives the devs that much time to keep polishing and bug fixing before release, which then gets released as a day 1 patch. Makes sense... Thanks

Yeah, I had been lurking around for 1.5+ years (wishing I was a backer, but I will settle for pre-order) now that it is finally here I get this weird feeling, that I often don't get for any games, I love it, but also hate it. haha

The download is only 6 gigs because its compressed, the installer will install the whole game and that will be 18 gigs. So no, ofcourse you wont have to download another 12 gigabyte. Keep in mind however, as others already stated here, that there will probably be a day 1 patch. That might be up to 1-2 gigabytes (since as far as I know, Pillars of Eternity patches aren't very efficient on steam). I can deal with 1 gb, that isn't too bad. How come they can already predict a day 1 patch?

With the pre- load being up (yay) and everyone on steam being able to pre-load, does that mean on release day the update to actually play the game should be relatively small? I am just wondering because I do not have the fastest internet and would love to be able to play right away on the 26th. And I hear people saying that the game is actually 18 gigs... but the download is actually only 6 gigs, I won't have to download 12 more gigs on 26th, right? Thanks for the help.

ninja update: Just noticed I read that conversion all wrong, it will be 12am EST (noon). Sorry.

I was just wondering if this game will come out at midnight(est) instead of some weird hour in the afternoon? Reasoning being, I get back home from work at midnight and would look forward to playing PoE at the end of the day.

What is update 92 suppose to be?

I asked this just yesterday actually: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71389-how-large-will-the-game-file-be/

This streamer actually seemed to be decent at the game, bad at pronoucing the names (can you really blame him... ) I haven't watched to much, to avoid spoilers. http://www.twitch.tv/theroguezombie/profile/past_broadcasts

So just over the course of a week it seems, the game looks like it has graphically improved. I have been watching the latest beta build videos and I mean they looked great in those videos, but now, I have been watching just a tiny bit of anthony's stream from earlier and the game looks 10x better!!! Plus to add on top of that, the recent screen shots of the hotel look amazing! Have they done something in just the past week to make this game more stunning?

Just watched part 1 and 2... Man they are pretty spectacular. My question is, what was the game that got cancelled?

Video not showing for me?

My main character's name will be Kvothe. If anyone knows where that name is from we can be friends.

Man, this game looks outright amazing, can't wait to see it on my 24 in 1080p monitor!

Even though I haven't knowing him for that much... He is probably one of my favorite developers.

So I was just peeking around some youtube videos, when I came across the Pax east show case of PoE. I must say, Josh Sawyer knows his stuff, damn is he a good tactical player. I don't think he even took a scratch from the enemies. Whew!!

Does steam give this option? If so I can't seem to do it.

I am just wondering how large of a file the game will be on the day I have to download it. Sadly there doesn't seem to be any option to pre-install it, so knowing how long I will have to wait on the 26th before I can play will be nice.
