I'd like to lay to rest any of the "content" concerns, which may once again be a miscommunication? To be clear, Stoic does not want any more content than you have already pledged for. We are a small studio telling a specific story. We shouldn't just "add" more content any more than a good novel should just add more words. Adding content is not a 1 to 1 ratio of goodness to money spent. At some point we'd simply have to outsource the art we can't handle and at that point, believe me, your dollars are getting very diminished returns and the whole look of the game would become decidedly more generic. Picture me hiring some outside artist to paint the 'Framed Landscape' reward for you. Is that exciting?
Stoic set out to bring you a very tight experience and we have used the money pledged in an effort to go out and bring you the very best talent we could find from around the world to pack into this now better, not just longer experience.
The Banner Saga has definitely grown in length since we began the Kickstarter campaign, but it has only grown in size to the point that we initially dreamed it would get to. We are adding a ton of things we didn't think we could achieve by launch, such as achievements, leader boards, a storyline mode for the initial free combat multiplayer game, more great cinematics , cross over support between the chapter 1 and the combat multiplayer game, etc... and now maybe...p-player cites? Every day we look at the funding and are working furiously behind the scenes to throw some more cool stuff into the pot. Perhaps this is what you've been calling content?
We want you to know that all the extra support is going into making the game experience simply better.
We will be breaking down, in detail, all the 'stuff' that's going into this game when we have more time to explain it correctly after Kickstarter. We will also be putting up concept art, class designs, stat info, game mechanics, lore, gameplay videos, a store and more on our soon to be supported site.

for the personal response and not blowing me off even though I still told him consoles are crap. I find his response pretty good and it gives me a much better "vision" of what to expect from this game. I have to admit my initial excitement and support of the game came from the word turn-based but a lot came from the look and atmosphere I saw. I love the animation and if it's a little light on the strategy side... well... I think I can live with that. I give him props for the response and willingness to stick around here despite the obvious trolls 
. I may now even increase my pledge having a better understanding of what the game will be. The free multiplayer mode is a good idea and should help give an even better idea on how true his statement of "mid-high range for complexity." Regardless, I hope he sticks around and keeps an open mind when it comes to our criticisms. We can definitely be harsh but our hearts are in the right place.
