    the solution to your dilemma is obvious: become a hipster and move to a city.
    anyhoo, there are boxed versions as rewards for various kickstarter tiers, so i think it's safe to assume they will ship some retail boxes.

    Scandinavian wilds? There's like 3 (or 4, or 2, whatever) nations there, and you could cross the 'wilds' through all 3 nations in a trip that's shorter than Sydney to Brisbane. Did they just hit deep snow at the edge of the city and say 'fuck this shit, the good broadband stops here'?

    Comrade Luzur led Royalist Forester Insurgents must have cut the cables outside cities; anyway can't see why the games has 25 Gigs now unless they went fully 3D or something since Commissar played the Alpha Beta. Hope they will release low resolution texture pack so the game will go down into One or Max two DVDs.

    No, but there are small gnomes that are not a particularly happy bunch outside Christmas time.

    Yes, until now it was only half 3D.
    1.5D, you might say. Now it's fully 3D. You'll be amazed at the number of edges a polygon can have.

    Does shipping the game with uncompressed assets help the performance in any way? Assuming this is what account for the size. Because the current beta still runs like crap.

    The game runs fine on my six year old PC. I think you need to get a PC that can into the Unity engine.

    Maybe it's something to do with me having an AMD/ATI system? Granted my computer is 4 years old, but it plays most games at a reasonable framerate, Wasteland 2 on the other hand, sends my graphics card into overheating.

    White text on a dark background does look better to me than the printer version, otherwise the "Olovski-UI" is better.

    Does someone at Inxile have a major sexual fetish for dot matrix printers? Is it this guy quietly enjoying a post coitus cigarette after fucking that IBM printer?
