aVENGER 142 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Beautiful screenshot. Love the stronghold stretch goal. I'm hoping that the management options will be similar to NWN2's Crossroad Keep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cantousent 1,288 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) The one thing I can't get excited about is the lore. It's not that I don't like it. I do. ...But hearing about the lore is like reading the back of a book I've already decided to buy. It's like getting dessert but no meal. I want the meat and potatoes. I want to get in there and explore and touch things and meet people. I want someone who supported Waidwen (or supports him still) to tell me why his iron-fisted rule in which he persecuted heretics was just and right. ...And I want that argument to make sense, even if I completely think he's wrong. I want to have some ignorant hick yell at me for using Hylspeak, laugh at his foolishness, only to have someone else make a better argument that makes me think twice. There are the bones for great stories in this, but the stories are what I want. I don't mean to slight the lore-craft. It's just that I hate licking the icing when I could have a full piece of cake. ...But I guess the point is to tease us, so in that regard I suppose I'm arguing against myself. :Cant's rueful grin icon: EDIT: Always with teh typos.

TXTwilight 2 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 WOW! This is absolutely gorgeous! The Lore sounds thrilling and I can´t wait for more informations. I really hope, we get to the 3 and 3,5 Million mark. To bad I pledged via paypal... BTW, if I pledge another 15$ through Paypal, would I also get the Campaign Almanac? PS: The Screenshot looks amazing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malcador 7,145 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) More interested in the lore stuff than the screenshot - but the screenshot does look nice. I guess I won't be undoing my plegde, heh. Edited October 11, 2012 by Malcador Quote Why has elegance found so little following?

jbrukardt 3 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 So i pledged 36 bucks already for the digital tier, if i wanted to pledge some more, say another 20-30 to try to push it to 3.5 mil, what would be my best option? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaCostaBR 2 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 There's no way they'll make it to 3,5 million in 5 days. But if they advertise enough that people can keep donating on paypal after the kickstarter is over they might make it in another month or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They can make another in five days if we are review whores, which we hopefully will be. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbrukardt 3 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 awww, ok. The expansion "addon" for 20 bucks looked promising, but i cant find it on the site Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shoeless Joe Jackson 28 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Awesome update. Screenshot looks incredible and I really think Obsidian have managed this kickstarter campaign brilliantly. I'm not sure we can get to $3.5m but you just never know! I'm up to $288 but that's absolutely as much as I can afford! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elerond 2,437 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 That screen shot is magnificent... hups I just drooled on it.. but it just looks so yummy Yei for the stronghold and triple yei for the another big city. And lore sound great, it gives me impression that world will feel relistic and I would even care about lore, which hasn't been case in so many fantasy worlds. I give for this update A+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elidar 5 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Love the update! The lore bit is interesting, even though a bit out of place since some bits and pieces are not entirely clear due to lack of lore part in general. I am sure when everything's done we'll have a good time reading all those interesting details. Oh, yes, the screenshot looks absolutely stunning! Keep up the good work!

Atheria 0 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 So i pledged 36 bucks already for the digital tier, if i wanted to pledge some more, say another 20-30 to try to push it to 3.5 mil, what would be my best option? are you looking for anything in particular? if you are looking to pledge 60-70 bucks, there's the digital $50 tier and add 7 for a strat guide. or stay at the 36 and just add another 20-30 to your pledge but as i said, down for 57 now, but the expansion for 20 and almanac for another 15? idk if i can drop another 35 bucks. I mean, that'd put me at 92. Quote A work in progress Link to post Share on other sites
Cantousent 1,288 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 For 20-30 bucks, you could include the xpac add-on or, if you want a sneak peak, you can get the beta key. I, for myself, won't want to play the game until after it has shipped and won't use the key. If none of my friends want it, I'll probably just give it to one of the forums regulars who didn't get it in his or her tier. I also think the stategy guide is a good choice for 7 bucks. Even if you don't use it the first run, the strategy guide can still be useful for housekeeping/reference stuff and they can be interesting if well written.

I mean, that'd put me at 92. Not really a fan of any of the "digital only" artwork/stratguide/etc. More content would be nice. If i already selected the 35 dollar tier, arent i locked into it, even if i add more? Like i if i wanted the physical tier I would have to start over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
