One warning if you haven't played PotD before: it's a lot harder than Hard. This can come as something of a shock, particularly if you expect it to be like the step from Normal to Hard. One big difference is you might need to leave some content you'd usually do right away until later. For example, perhaps you usually rush to Caed Nua as soon as you can, but on PotD you should only do this if you enjoy a challenge and are a bit of a masochist. Beyond that, make sure you pay attention to enemy defences and target what they are weak against, and know that the difficult decreases substantially as you go, so by Act II it doesn't feel too bad. Sorry if you're actually a PotD veteran and already know this by the way.

Please tell me whoever posted that was serious.

The ship wasn't a stretch goal. More ships were a stretch goal but there was always going to be a ship.

At that rate we'll hit 5 million in five days

Are you saying that katanas can't cut through tanks?

The two main colonisers are Ruatai and the Vailian Republics I think. The latter is obviously based on Renaissance Northern Italy, the former is less obviously based on any specific real world culture but I got some Ottoman Empire vibes from the way Kana described it. That said, we've been told there are other, less influences in the area and, as Leferd says, there's no reason there shouldn't be Eoran cultures similar to real world Asian ones so I don't see any reason why there shouldn't be such weapons.

It's kinda amazing that Deadfire has raised more than Pillars with roughly half as many backers. Hopefully a lot of the Pillars backers will trickle in as slacker backers as more and more info about the game is released.

I swear I read or heard someone at Obsidian say that paypal funds would count towards stretch goals, at least for a while.

I suspect it is yes. They probably added "beta access" to make it clear that it wasn't just for people who already had beta access through their main pledge. Sorry

Pure. Number theory to be precise. Hah! Well I tend to think the latter. I just liked the sound of "invent maths" as a silly way of describing what I do. That said, there's a nonzero chance that anything I do is wrong, in which case you might describe it as inventing maths. In other news, the campaign just finished and they cleared 400%. Not bad eh?

Mostly in my flat, in front of my computer, but occasionally I can't avoid going into the university yes.

Currently, I invent new maths. Come the end of the year I'll have to do something else, whilst also writing up all the new maths I invented so that the literally ones of people who care can read about it.

We all have a time limit, after all the Universe will eventually die a heat death. Given my current earnings, I am not sure I could make $750 in that time

Sounds pretty Polynesian to me, which, given he seems to be an Aumaua godlike and hence might be a Deadfire native, makes sense.

There's an option to add Beta Access for $20 now (separate from the Extra Beta Access option). You've got about 20 minutes to change your pledge to add it if you want to. Hopefully Obsidian will treat anyone who picked Extra Beta Access without having beta access in their base pledge as having beta access. Not doing so would seem a little harsh.

Today I learnt that plebes is a word, and not a misspelling of plebs. To answer the question, the plebes of course.

If that's the case, and assuming they don't put a deadline on slacker funds counting towards stretch goals, it seems very likely we'll reach 5 million and, hence, full Ydwin.

Interesting. I probably won't use it, but I appreciate extra options being available for those who want them.

On the topic of Spiritshift, perhaps Eder could take levels of Druid. Then he could always pet himself... okay that sounds wrong.

Now that I know what these two terms refer to, I can answer the thread title question. The answer is: maybe.

Agreed.

That took me a moment to get.

How much did PoE raise after the end of the Kickstarter?

You and me both.

I believe it has already been confirmed that for Priests and Paladins, Deities and Orders are their subclasses. I also seem to recall that Josh said they wouldn't be adding more, although I think that was before we reached the "3 subclasses for each class" stretch goal, so perhaps they'll get more thanks to that. I woudn't count on it though. What does seem likely to me is that the differences between them will be magnified. We've already been told that each Deity will grant unique spells to their Priest for example.
