deamon451 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Good job all!!! Rub my belly....you know you want to...give in to the temptation...and don't mind the resulting love scratches and bites.
Windemere Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Wow, I was quite skeptical about the 3.5 million mark and really happy to see this. Congratulations to Obsidian, and I hope that this enthusiastic support and vote of confidence supplies you with some much needed energy during the road ahead. Happy for you guys!

DreamingVoid Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Fantastic! I wish I could be at Obsidian right now just to see their reactions, I imagine they are pretty happy. 1
syn2083 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 This has been something else to watch unfold. Couldn't be happier about the project, or people making it! 1 -Crash the silence for the sake of memory- Computer Problems or Questions? Visit the FAQ And Skeeter's Junkyard
Wloczykij Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 3,5 and still go. When it will stop? 3,6 mln? Or more? Give us great game
Darth Trethon Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 3,5 and still go. When it will stop? 3,6 mln? Or more? Give us great game Including the 106k from paypal I suspect it'll land around 3.8 mil. 1
norolim Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Well done Obsidian. Well done fellow backers. I was very optimistic about the 3.5M. Edited October 16, 2012 by norolim
Krios Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Kickstarter has just passed the 3.5 million mark ($ 3,513,875)! I think the extra 13K should be used to buy more bubbly to celebrate
Darth Trethon Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Kickstarter has just passed the 3.5 million mark ($ 3,513,875)! I think the extra 13K should be used to buy more bubbly to celebrate Ummmm.....106k raised on paypal will be counted too and kickstarter will rise at LEAST another 100k in the remaining 10 hrs though I suspect it'll be closer to another 200k. So yeah....we're quite likely to get another stretch goal or two....maybe after the end.
Sinistas Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 With less than 10 hours left I doubt we're getting more stretch goals. I could be wrong, obviously. Dreaded Silence - Boston Melodlic/Doom Metal
Undecaf Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Good job. They need to add a final stretchgoal somewhere near $3.8M for the last 10 hours and see what happens. TB combat - fingers crossed - and it will happen, har har. Perkele, tiädäksää tuanoini!"It's easier to tolerate idiots if you do not consider them as stupid people, but exceptionally gifted monkeys."
Darth Trethon Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 With less than 10 hours left I doubt we're getting more stretch goals. I could be wrong, obviously. They extended the stretch goal map to a castle.....we are definitely getting something else, this much seems pretty clear, though it may not be announced until after kickstarter ends.
Sinistas Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 The castle could be the end of the campaign. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Dreaded Silence - Boston Melodlic/Doom Metal
Merin Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I didn't believe it could raise so much. I am very happy to be wrong. Congrats, Obsidian!
Darth Trethon Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) The castle could be the end of the campaign. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Not this time....it's too obvious, too big and half of the image is now empty which highlights the way to the castle a bit too much. At this point it's very likely they'll pass the 3.5 mil goal by at LEAST 200k though it'll likely be by 300 to 400k(including paypal)....hell even the 4 mil would not surprise me now. They WILL announce additional game features with those extra money, that much should be pretty clear. Edited October 16, 2012 by Darth Trethon
USER47 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 To be honest, I don't want another stretch goal. They could bite more than they can chew. I'd rather use more money as a backup, because development usualy don't go as fast and well as planned, and backup budget for necessary finalizing/testing/polishing can be quite useful thing in later stage of development:). We all played Obsidian games and we know they haven't been the best in knowing what the can deliver under given time/money constrains:).
MBurdock Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I would assume that the stretch targets take into account their project deadlines, so the additional funds are actually hiring more people and accounting for the management hours needed to deal with a larger team. I may be overly optimistic though.

We all played Obsidian games and we know they haven't been the best in knowing what the can deliver under given time/money constrains:). But they are using significantly older and cheaper development tools....these are veterans that worked with the newest high-tech gaming tools and highest AAA development budgets(which are far more unstable and harder to manage btw) in games like New Vegas and Alpha Protocol. I am more than certain they have a good handle on what they promise and their budget. Edited October 16, 2012 by Darth Trethon
Huinehtar Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Yes! (I have to say that I didn't believe that it could be possible few days ago, and I'm happy to see that I was wrong!) I can imagine the pressure that Obsidian's crew has to endure now with all the excitement from fans. But whatever the time it will take, whatever the OE choices will be, now I am sure that It will be worth it.
jfdsfj89s7 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Good job. They need to add a final stretchgoal somewhere near $3.8M for the last 10 hours and see what happens. TB combat - fingers crossed - and it will happen, har har. Personally I don't think they need to add anything more. I'd rather they just use the "extra" money to make all the promises they've already made.

I'd rather they just use the "extra" money to make all the promises they've already made. No, they don't specifically "need" to - bad wording on my part - but it could boost the final rush even further, and there are still things unannounced I would gladly pay more for.

Auxilius Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Considering how much money the goodies are going to eat, I suppose no more stretch goal is fine. I still want pets, it can't be too time-or-money-consuming.
JFSOCC Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I would be perfectly happy if after the game is complete they spend the extra money on candy and just keep streaming live DnD campaigns. was fun to watch. Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.---Pet threads, everyone has them. I love imagining Gods, Monsters, Factions and Weapons.
Gorik Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I wonder if the gals and guys at Obsidian are having a well-deserved sleep-in this morning, considering the late night D&D campaign. Great surprise when they arrive at office and check the KS update. A million thanks to all of you at Obsidian for bringing a great new "old style" RPG to us! This is epic!
Darkpriest Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) I hope they will add some bonus on top, with all the pledges and amount of extra cash - I estimate the total cash at around 3,7-3,8 by the end of the day with all paypal funding added. Edited October 16, 2012 by Darkpriest
