Whatever. They did what Obsidian couldn't.

This is what VotS actually believes.

Update #17 is up,

With only seven days left on the Project Eternity Kickstarter, we want to start the last week off with some pretty incredible things to announce. You might not know that Brian Fargo is the guy who gave many of us our start in the games industry at Interplay – myself (Feargus), Josh Sawyer, Chris Avellone, Scott Everts, Brian Menze, Chris Jones, Chris Parker, Darren Monahan – and the list keeps on going from there. He also gave the guys who started a little company called Silicon & Synapse their first few projects – pretty crazy to think that little company is now Blizzard Entertainment.


Personally, we are incredibly thankful to him and for the second wave of Kickstarter attention he brought with Wasteland 2. But, Brian hasn’t stopped being the great guy that he is, and so, he’s helping us out by letting us add Wasteland 2 as a reward at our higher tiers. So, what tiers will that be? A lot of you have asked for a digital tier after $110, so we are adding a $165 Digital Only Tier. That means Wasteland 2 will get added to this new $165 tier and all the tiers above.

What we are also doing is adding the first expansion pack for the game to the $165 Tier (and above). The expansion will come out approximately six months after Project Eternity is released. That’s right, it’s not DLC, but a real honest to God RPG expansion pack. We don’t have the details on the Expansion yet, but you can bet it will be what you’d expect from an Infinity Engine game expansion.

With all that Brian has done for us in the past and his incredibly generous offer, we also want to kick something in. To do that we are now supporting the Brian's Kicking It Forward initiative. The Kickstarter community is pretty amazing and we want to help whomever we can be as successful as we have been.


For those of you that missed the announcement over the weekend, we will be adding another level to the Mega Dungeon if we hit 20,000 Likes on the Obsidian's Facebook page. We are getting close to halfway there!

That’s a lot for today, and we have so much more coming up tomorrow. Maybe some new stretch goals, maybe some new add-ons, or heck maybe all of that! Stay tuned all of this week as we ramp up to the Project Eternity Kickstarter finish next Tuesday, October 16th with an all-day live video stream from Obsidian. We are trying to get Tim to do the cooking!

Oh, and we also owe everyone an update that goes through everything you get at each of the tiers listed out with a bit more detail than we can squeeze in on the front page of our Kickstarter site. We will get that update out in the next few days, but to tide everyone over – we’ve attached the full concept for Aloth below.

I just upgraded my pledge to $165. Must be mad.

Before anyone points it out it's for the free Wasteland 2 game. Other then the hand-drawn trolls the Codex tiers suck.

Don't brofist me dude.

 

[maverick]

I just upgraded my pledge to $165. Must be mad.

Yeah, me too. Since I missed the Wasteland 2 kickstarter, this is a nice way of jumping on the bandwagon. I just hope the wagon doesn't end up going downhill

Btw DarkUnderlord, where is my race traitor tag? You've already got my begging PM D:

 

[Fryjar]

NEW STRETCH GOAL!

I think it would be a good idea to update the sticky on the front page with your pic and offer, as it certainly will draw some backers in.

 

[villain of the story]

You should instead cut a deal for a Codex Grimoire to be carried by the party with exclusive Codexian spells instead of this items, equipment and weapons bullshit.

Stupid cock suckers, you could still get the boxed Collector's Edition version of WL2 at $150 at their website instead of this half-assed digital only shit:

[meh]

So what's the current total? DU seems to be lazy to update or there aren't any donation floating in

 

[Abraxas]

I think it would be a good idea to update the sticky on the front page with your pic and offer, as it certainly will draw some backers in.

Sure, fine with me if they do that, there's a higher change someone spotting it in the front page than here.

 

[Crooked Bee]

So DarkUnderlord, how much have we collected so far?

Fuck...who should I send my payment info to?

To DU.

 

[Lockkaliber]

It seems more and more unlikely that this is going to happen

A shame really. We own our tribute to IE games.

NEW STRETCH GOAL!

He needs to have red hair and blue eyes to be a 100% authentic neandertard, though.

 

[Infinitron]

Where's my Race Traitor tag? M:

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Everyone who's donated that I know about has gotten their tags. If you're not in the list of donors, let me know.

So DarkUnderlord, how much have we collected so far?

A whole 'nother $280 since I last updated it 3 days ago!!

By the way, I'm going to end this in 24 hours so I have time to transfer the money.

Last chance people.

 

[tuluse]

[tuluse] is me tuluse

 

[Tigranes]

Wait, so we're around 3300-3500, right? And that means we're going for three $1k rewards? I was gonna throw in some pocket change, but I guess there's no point unless we get to $4k, or unless I put it up to $50?

 

[villain of the story]

In before MASSIVE butthurt and resentment towards DU because the kickstarter still has 7 days to go

Before? Me thinks you are far too late for that.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Mine says 6 days, 2 of which are over a weekend. Minus the next day it's still open, leaves 5 - or 3 (as the weekend doesn't count), which is about how long a funds transfer to the account that'll be paying is going to take...

Mind you I might try that PayPal option on Obsidian's own site and do a direct transfer, if it will let me.

 

[villain of the story]

That would be the sanest option for Kickstarter+Amazon wouldn't leech 10% of the sum. Better for Obsidian anyway.

Is there any reason why it wouldn't?

 

[commie]

I donated 50 cents(it was all I had left on my prepaid card) to the cause but forgot to put my 'Commie' tag. Can I still get a Race Traitor?

Greg Martin, you'd better give me a tag or I'll complain to Paypal.

 

[hakuroshi]

And Codex fails not to disappoint again. Well, it was a good time at WL2 KS...

 

[Wise Emperor]

Why not leave codex donation open for longer and pay when it's ready, through PayPal on the Obsidian site? I would chip in later (0 credits right now) and I think couple of codexers would also drop some jewgoldz.

commie
Damn, DU is balding quickly.
