The White March expansion price revealed - $15 per part, $25 for both

[Nakia]

So technically for backing up tier with first +expansion I will end up paying more... . Exp was +$20 so if I buy part #2 I will end up at $35 vs $25. So much for incentive to back

 

Unless somehow this includes Part 1 & Part 2 (which would make sense since part 1 of expansion pack is just...a part of it)

Part 1 & 2 are included together for backers who paid for that stretch goal.  That is part of the reason I think the expansion is being called part 1 & 2 rather than simply expansion 1 and expansion 2.  One expansion in two parts.

 

 Rosveen beat me and said it better and simpler.

Funnily enough, Killyox ninja'd me with his own edit.

 I have had that problem when trying to edit a quote.  Gotten in to such a mess I have had to just cancel my post.  

[Spirtikus]

Price is fine, will buy instantly.

[archangel979]

I think I will just wait for a Steam sale when I can get both parts for 20$ or less. The main improvements come with Patch 2.0 anyways and expansions Part 1 does not fix Stronghold anyways (which ruins most of the base game story) so I am not interested that much in extra story and dungeons.

[Quantics]

Stronghold anyways (which ruins most of the base game story)

 

 

That's a very strong statement, no?

Only because it is true. 

[Blades of Vanatar]

Well, the added levels are the late levels which usually takes more content to level up. So I would assume there should be a lot of added content.

Strange, you only need to interact with the Stronghold once. It doesn't have a major impact on the main story, it's really just a gateway to the mega dungeon.

Dwarves need buffing. There, I said a random statement and provided no facts to back it up too.

 

This is fun!

[Nakia]

I hold to the opinion that opinions do not need to be backed up by facts because opinions are just an individual's opinion.

 

Fact - I had lunch at the boardwalk today.

Opinion-  The lunch was delicious.

[Cantousent]

I agree with Nakia. Otherwise, we end up with three paragraph disclaimers about whether or not something is an opinion. Some things are clearly facts and others are opinions.

 

As a point of fact, you don't need to do a lot with the stronghold to progress the main story line. To be clear, the mega dungeon is not strictly necessary either. At least as I recall the main plot progression.

 

As a matter of opinion, I personally like the stronghold and think you're missing out on a lot if you don't do anything with it, but clearly there are some folks who didn't like it or outright hated it.

[ruzen]

I thought only part 1 was going to be available for expansion backers. Am I wrong? or I hope I'm wrong because then we are in 5$ :S which sounds stupid.

Devs stated in various interviews that Kickstarter backers who picked the Expansion add-on will get both parts.

Nakia I have heard from several people that you are an extremely wealthy American....will you buy me both expansions in the interests of spreading that Capitalist revenue?

 

I believe it will  make you feel much better knowing you are helping those less fortunate and remember " in life its better to give than to receive "

Doofus! lol For the record, I don't understand why the trivial amount (for most folks) that the xpac will cost is an issue. ...And if $30 at most is an issue for you, you have larger problems looming over you than the xpac for a computer game. :Cant's own huge grin icon:

Yeah I agree, if you think about the amount of hours of entertainment you get from a game its well worth the investment

 

I am about to finish GTAV and I have spent about 130 hours on this game....if you think about what  my work charges out for me  per hour as a software consultant which is about $150-200/hour   I would say the $60 price is well worth it

1) Fact-  We had a bad recession which hurt a lot of us here in the land never paved with streets f gold but it did have oportunity and the bankers, wall street people and politicians make use of that opportunity.

 

2) The people who told you I was a rich American were joshing you.

 

3) If I was an extremely rich person I would hire Obsidian to write a game for me.    

 

4) Yes I am a very fortunate person but not in dollars or pesos or Euros, whatever.  I have good friends, and at an age that would blow your mind if I told you so I won't I am in good health, happy almost content and grateful for having had a beautiful life with all its ups and down.  Life is to be lived it is never long enough.

 

Sorry Obsidian got all my spare change and some that wasn't so spare.  

 

Have a nice day.

Now I'm intrigued. The only age that I haven't seen yet and so could blow my mind is less than 12 or more than 90. Edited August 14, 2015 by Rosveen

And that is its problem. Nobody cares that you got a huge Castle next to their capital. Even the Stronghold mechanics itself are terrible and boring. The mega dungeon below it is also pretty boring, feels more like clearing a dungeon in Diablo 2 as it has way too much samey combat.

[Fardragon]

I could easily afford $30, but am still far from convinced it represents reasonable value for money.

[Quantics]

That's entirely fair.

 

Personally I'm just happy that this kind of game is still being made in 2015, that I'll happily pay $30. 

 

And that's regardless of my opinion of the gameplay/story, which I found good, but not exceptional.

 

I guess I'm just secretly hoping that Pillars (one day) receives the Baldur's Gate 2 treatment.

I hope it gets better treatment than that...!!

You realize  I was just joking 

 

I work for a global American software company and I travel to the USA at least 1-2 times a year so I'm  well aware not all Americans are rich...I assumed you knew I was joking but it seems sometimes on these forums some  people are unable to tell the difference when I joke and think I'm being serious  and get offended ...and the people who I do like, like you, I don't want to get the wrong idea about me and think I was being rude or malicious 

[svartelric]

I think that complaining about a 30$ expansion for a videogame is truly the definition of "first-world problem". Besides, I don't recall expansions costing much less than the main games (look at Bethesda's DLCs for Fallout 3 - btw, what a waste of money, and how much was that?)
