Yes. Here is the post that explains what tier goes with what key.

What time period does that chart take into account? Just the past 24 hours?

I think it's been up for a while now, but anyone who wants to read the manual can get the pdf from Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/manual/291650

It's 71 pages.

Obsidian has already posted an errata for some outdated parts of the manual: http://eternity.obsidian.net/manual/errata

 

[Agremont]

Woohoo! Going to download from GOG when available!

 

[tringworldso]

Having read some of the background I kind of hate how Drywood is quite the underdog by rising from an exploited colony to an independent state winning predetermined wars. The plot armour is way too evident here.

It's just mirroring the new world is it not? Murica and all that?

 

[LurkerPrime]

No keys at misc retailers like GMG and Nuuvem yet I take it.

Correct. :'(

Not really. It's just a way to make Drywood a special snowflake in the PoE world. While the Factions and Gods are really well written, this is what feels forced and out of place.

I think this doesn't really apply to what I was asking. It's about backers and how GOG keys are going to work, which is different than Steam keys at retailers like Greenman and Gamersgate.

Yeah and it feels like

Drywood is always shielded thanks to their policies/tactics etc.

Lol, just saw that I misspelled Dyrwood before.

I'm not really seeing it. Sorry.

I am. It's too much of a lynchpin for most of the wars/historical events taking place and it feels out of place in a fictional world.

 

[Artanisix]

Oh wait just realized it said GOG and not Greenman. Phew.

I'm still confused.

Paradox is handling distribution of keys for GMG, GG, Nuveem ect. wouldn't expect them until Thursday morning US time.

 

[Noaloha]

For those who don't have the digital lorebook tier, is there a particularly good place to learn the game's background which can be consumed in a simple linear fashion (non-wiki prose, video series, etc.)?

I tried reading the offficial wiki but all the hyperlinking around is too cumbersome for my slightly hungover arse.

 

[O.DOGG]

Now, GOG or Steam? Decisions, decisions.

 

[Mistouze]

Yay got my Steam key!

Nay I just arrived at work.

How big is the DL btw?

 

[Deleted member 59090]

How big is the DL btw?

6GB on PC.

 

[Velurian]

The key will pop up here - right?

[dude]

I can't believe I'm this excited about goddamn pre-loading

 

[Skeletron]

Backed during the Kickstarter and immediately zoned out. Can't believe this game is almost here! Looks fantastic.

Can anyone tell me if it will run on my my laptop Intel i5 2.5ghz, Intel HD Graphics 3000?

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

Well at least I have a little time to finish child of light and tew. Tmr onward will be only PoE until TW3 comes.

Interesting, I never thought of it from that perspective. I've just seem the demo playthrough of the early prologue last year so that's cool. After reading your post, I'm feeling better about Dyrwood now haha!

The game is made in unity and is actually not that intensive, it will definitely run on your laptop

Seeing as the entire game is based in Dyrwood, it would suck not to like it conceptually

I don't think I would make that promise to someone with an Intel 3000 card. That's my internal card on my CPU and when I had to RMA my dedicated GPU I used it and had problems with running a lot of games you'd think would be okay.

It'll probably run but not be ideal.

Ah damn, I was comparing this to the minimum requirements on steam

lol the PoE wiki just crashed

 

[Uzzy]

Steam key obtained and it's in my library. I've never been so happy to see a game on that list as I am with Pillars of Eternity.

 

[Joey Ravn]

Yay, pre-loading!

... I'll be rolling back from Windows 10 to 8.1 today in preparation for PoE. W10 TP is a relatively solid OS, but I've had enough issues with the DX12 NVIDIA drivers Microsoft is pushing. Too many silly crashes.

 

[WetTreeLeaf]

Tmr onward will be only PoE until TW3 comes.

I like the way you think. Also need to rebeat Witcher 2 for my perfect save file.

 

[AntiFacebook]

Anyone knows when the game unlocks at GOG? And if there will be any preload option?

Tmr onward will be only PoE until TW3 comes.

Same for me.

Spoiler

Of course,they can always delay TW3 again

Pre-loading on Steam. Finally here after 2.5 years.

Aren't yall playing Bloodborne instead in the meantime?? That seems to be much more mass popular than PoE

I'm playing that beforehand

More like 11 years. (That's roughly when we should have gotten BG3 in a just universe)

This guy looks like the final boss and the game is telling me he's the final boss but maybe he's not, so I should probably hold off and not use any of the 35 potions of invulnerability and triple damage I have here just in case.

The first rule of consumables: there are no consumables.

 

[O.DOGG]

I've taken the weekend off from work. Guess what I'll be doing

Well,it is a PoE thread,what exactly did you expect?

 

[Corpekata]

Whodathunk the first party next gen heavily promoted game would be more popular than a kickstarted isometric RPG?

 

[Durante]

I finished reading the manual. Loved the part about disposition especially, and the racial background information was nice.

Also, Chanter is an amazing class concept. I'm almost tempted to play one instead of my customary Wizard. Almost.

On GAF no less!

One is PS4 exclusive and has a very high difficulty/learning curve?
