Fuck are you talking about, Witcher 3 had an insanely higher budget and sold insanely more than PoE did or PoE2 is likely to. A forum this cynical is the last place I'd have expected to see people swallowing CDPR's "16 free DLC(such as beard styles and a bimbo outfit for your girlfriend)!!!" PR stunt.
It sounds like all of Tyanny's companions were try-hards in some way or another.
We've hit the next stretch goal! Thank you so much for your contributions to make NPC Portraits, UI Customization and Italian localization possible. We are now are planning to add portraits for every quest giving NPCin the game. This is going to add hundreds of unique watercolor portraits to enhance the experience when conversing with NPCs. In addition, we also will have a full suite of UI Customization features that will be added to the game. Lastly, now our Italian friends can enjoy Pillars of Eternity II in their nativeItalian.
We all love new concept art. We would like to share the artwork for a new monster in the game called the Engwithan Saint which you can find, and fight, in the desert dungeon featured in our screenshots and video.
Tomorrow we will have an update focused on lore with new information about the Deadfire, announce our next stretch goal at 2.6m, and introduce a new content feature that we are very excited about. Again, thank you so much from everyone on the team.
To be honest the 16 DLCs included also various side quests but you are right that the projected commercial success of Witcher 3 was much bigger.
I couldn't care less about NG+ and don't particularly want it to be a stretch goal, or something that's in the game, at all. That said, a stretch goal doesn't mean "it's going to cost us exactly this much to put this in the game"
