Yes, I did it. Backed before reading.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Is already 20 36 K O_o

Edit: Lol 70 K.

 

[MicoSelva]

Backed at early bard tier (lol pun). I can always withdraw later, if I decide to stick to my 'no preorders!' resolve for once.

This is especially funny sad and stupid because I have not even played Wasteland 2 (that much) yet.

But I was always a sucker for well-done turn-based blobbers, even though I never completed even a single one.

edit: 50K already, wow...

Pretty much my thoughts. Only 10-ish hours in W2 at this point and waiting for the GOTY edition. Also feel like preordering is fucking stupid, yet doing it (almost) every time when it's on KS.

 

[Jimmious]

Also backed. Couldn't resist. 93k atm...!!!

 

[DosBuster]

lol im getting 503 errors sporadically now, good job fargo

 

[imweasel]

BACKED!!!

Holy Fuckeroo, 105K after less than 30 minutes! :D

 

[Gord]

The free copy of WL2 is a bit tempting, though, I wanted to wait for the EE, but still...

 

[Perkel]

welp Fargo probably is the best salesman ever. Already 123k and i watched it 50 seconds ago being 113...

I liked the white Ferrari touch, looked expensive and juvenile at the same time, like an overpriced Porsche.
Seems that they will get three millions again, at this point Fargo pretty much managed to become his own brand, the first two Kickstarters relied on strong name recognition of the games, now is all Fargo, giving away free games helped too.
All in all I am perplexed, I dpubt inXile ability to design good dungeons and puzzles honestly, and I think that this is just Fargo trying to cover the Fantasy angle in his IPs portfolio.

 

[ArchAngel]

I am sad that there was like 5s of gameplay video and no show for any of the systems. Basically no new information was presented. I backed on basis of trust which is kind of stupid but I said I would if they don't charge anything for WL2 GotY for previous WL2 owners.

 

[DosBuster]

I'm assuming that they're going the route of saving "gameplay" for later on, it's a 38 day wait to the finish line, they're not going to release everything at once.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Fargo knows how to handle the dough. Pledged the early bard tier.

 

[Morgoth]

Backed.

For now.

Just to be sure.

How come they need another kickstarter? Am I missing something here? Did Wasteland 2 sell so bad that they can't finance the game without crowd support?
I'm glad they are still making games tough, it's not that. Just curious.

Two 10k backers already? Nice.

It's free money - and risk-free money - I'm not sure what explanation it requires.

The fact that he's using the same trailer with kid playing the big EVUL publisher for the 3rd fucking time is really pushing me away from this.

Future Kickstarters are gonna be pretty awkward when that kid hits puberty and eventually, adolescence and maturity.

Fargo stated numerous times that he want make inXile a Kickstarter centric business.
WL2 sold quite well for a midsixed studio.

Help revive the dungeon crawler!

Didn't LoG do that years ago?
