Not me... skint until the 25th. If you're not, reckon you'll avoid these forums until you get the game?

I am but because of my bad internet I'll likely finish downloading the game by the 9th. And yes won't be touching these forums for a week after the release at least. Doubt anything major is gonna be spoiled pre release and browsing these forums keeps the hype in check.

Depends.

 

I mean, who knows? I might get run over by a truck or struck by lightning on a clear day and die, so i wouldn't get to play on the 8th.

 

But if i don't die in a random act of universal chaos, i probably will.

I'm certainly going to try, but I know I'm going to have daily chores to do and also make dinner that day before my wife gets home late from work. So I may end up

 

playing Deadfire in the evening or even later then that, after our daughter has been put to bed. The worse that could happen to me is that I end up playing it on the

 

ninth, in the early morning hours (12 am or so) after everyone in my family but me has long since gone to bed, can I see myself finding the time to just sit down and

 

really play/enjoy this game like I want to.

I work on the eighth, but it's my last day. So, I'll download the game before going to work and crank it up early in the A.M. after I get out of work on the ninth.

Really wish I could! I'll be traveling back from a visit with family. Will probably start the download that night and hopefully get to play on the 9th after work >.<

I almost certainly will if they unlock it in GOG at 19:00 (CET), otherwise, if it's not too late, I'll try it out quickly that night or after a good sleep the day after.

on 8th i won't. because it will be 9th in my time zone on release. Hopefully. 

So, cause I haven't participate in beta, I'll probably devote all my 8th May to creating characters. Although I know how my character would be looking (pretty the same as in PoE, maybe a little bit older/younger/epic/?), I would be enjoying new graphics, looking every modele and reading all that cool lore about classes and races ^_^

Currently playing The Witcher 3 for the first time, and, ideally, I'd wrap up the main quest in time to jump into Deadfire on the 8th.  (Currently: level 23 and chasing down question marks and gwent players on Ard Skellige.)  But I'm probably too much of a reflexive completionist for that to happen.  So I probably have a tough decision in my future. 

Have any of you booked the day off work to play it?

 

I actually used to book the day off for WoW expansions back in the day haha. Then do an all nighter.... yeesh the good old days eh. My girlfriend would kick my arse if I did that now.

I was going to, but I was out sick earlier in the year. So, I am low on Personal Days to use. I need to save them just in case. However, I left 5 hours early one day, and that leaves me about 7 hours personal time... Not enough for a full day, but...

 

So, I may go in and use those to leave early again, but I'm trying to be as frugal as possible with those hours. We will see. I need to double check my vacation/personal time this week before I make that decision.

I had two days worth of overtime so took the 9th and the 10th. One to play a bit the other for my birthday, I will be away the next weekend so will not have time to play and this was my only opportunity for a few hours of game time. I will create characters on the evening of the 8th and read a bit of the guide looking forward to it.

I will have guests until end of May. So maybe I won't touch the guestsgame until June.

I’m swimming in PTO days so you better believed I booked one on the 8th. Then another on friday, and my wife knows I’ve been waiting a year and a half for this, so she’s giving me a couple days to hole up in my home office and chase down Eothas.

 

Used to feel bad for being a nerd, but now I’ve figured out a way to advance my career, pay the bills, AND still be an RPG nerd. The way my wife sees it; she doesn’t have to work and gets the things she wants, and the trade off is that occasionally I want to be a wizard and fight goblins? That’s a good deal for both of us.

Probably won't until June. Visiting home after graduation and job hunting. Also probably trying to take up some healthy hobbies while the weather is nice.

Yeah, I predominantly play RPGs and Obsidian games are one of the few I'd take time off for. It's about the only time I "game." So, taking time off once every few years isn't too much to convince myself of. I am going to double check my PT tonight, and I may go ahead and tell the bosses what's up.

I guess I will start to play at release.

I wish I could wait some patches, but I look at this forum every day and I will be completely spoilered anyway if I don´t play.

The next question is if I should play in english or german.

Probably I will play in german and more than half of the time I will be posting bugs.

 

I have finished my last game (Okami) on friday and now I have the problem what to do next. If I start a new game I will not be able to finish it in a week.

Might need to take the 8th and probably the rest of the week off

I really like computer RPGs but I will definitely not take vacations for a game.

Everybody knows that sport is the only thing to take vacations for

I had a marathon yersterday and tomorrow comes the next race.

Well, I'm having a vacation starting next week, so yeah, I'm gonna play it on release. Unless it gets postponed again at the last minute    From my experience, with games like these that I know I can't help but binge, it's better to take a vacation or days off so as not to look and feel like a dead vegetable at work.

Hey, that's a great reason to take a vacation! I wish I could take them with confidence for my much loved bike tours. But unfortunately where I live it's like perpetual 50 shades of autumn or something, with unexpected chances of rain all the time.

I am.

I'm working on the 8th, but I took the 9 off

Taking Wed-Fri off, long overdue for some time off in general not just for this, so yeah I'll be playing that evening when I get home from work without worrying how late I'll end up playing.
