The Forgotten

[Jamesgrahamuk]

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?

IIRC only backers who pledged more than 100$ are in the credits that was one of the backer rewards wroten in kickstarter.

[Jamesgrahamuk]

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.

Did you completed the survey? Someone else had the same problem because he didn't completed it in time and devs said it would be add in a future patch.

[Hydra092]

Yes I did, but apparently it doesn't show in the completed survey list, but when I click on the T-shirt survey I got the name that should be in the credits. Should I send a notice to the devs or something ? Honestly, I wouldn't give that much care about it, but this game is such a masterpiece that I really want to be in the credits

Loled by the fact that 100 dollars in my country is aprox 1/6 of my salary. (and that is a good salary here)

 

Still, I seems that PoE is a great game, and having contributed to create it is really nice all the same.... i really felt the thanks to the backers at the beggining :D

It was better, but with our constant inflation I cant remember what salary I had at that time to make a real comparison. Still I remember that I could have backed a better tier at that moment but I wanted to pledge to other projects too: Star Citizen and the new Torment. (which I did)

Well, pardon my ignorance, I stayed away from the whole forum and news for 2 years to avoid spoilers and discover this game completely fresh and without any bias, who should I contact exactly ?
