Btw, this is kind of late but will Amazon give me any problems if I used my real address and I live outside of the US?
Has anyone else who increased their pledge from the initial amount got two "Active" payment requests on Amazon? Is that normal? Don't know whether to cancel the original one and just leave the second (which is my full, adjusted pledge amount) or whether that will affect things :/
I was watching a stream and the project manager was on commenting on how gorgeous and how many of the Icewind portraits there are. Someone asked him if PE would have the same and he said yes they want to have pretty portraits just like these games. So hopefully that doesnt change.
Yup, the internet's pretty disgusting if you allow them. I feel bad for the girls in the stream. I feel worse for Josh, he seems so out of his element...
Never did for me and I live in Quebec and paid with a amazon.ca account.

Awesome, thanks. Last time I backed a project I used Google's address so I wasn't sure If it will give my problems this time.
Yes. It broke the Double Fine record earlier today.
By a long shot. It's over $550,000 past Double Fine's with time to spare.

After leaving Black Isle, Jason Manley went on to found (and still run) Massive Black, conceptart.org, and The Art Department, so I think his fee might be a bit outside of the scope of this project.

Maybe he gives them a good deal, for the sake of the good ol days.
Probably not, but you never know!

Oh well
Hope they find someone as good.

They're making me want to drink.
I see this on Amazon:

Should I cancel the $25 one? Don't know if I'll get charged twice if I leave it, don't know why it's worked out like that, I just adjusted my pledge :/

I was hoping they'd mention Justin Sweet was on the project but nothing on that front either.
I think you need to authorize them both...
I told myself to scale back because I have given quite a bit to other projects, was not planning on pledging big amount.
Then Obsidian released that environment screenshot and boy do I want to point and click a party around that world. Gave my 140$ happily today.

Ah okay, so even though both would be authorized, I'd only get charged $27 rather than $52? That makes a bit more sense now.
I think, I have no idea how that works :X
If you don't want to take the chance authorize just the 27$ pledge, and then keep a watch for your inbox to see if Amazon has any problem with your pledge.

I didn't think they'd get to $3.5 million and they managed that easily. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they make it to $4 million on Kickstarter alone.
Me neither to be honest. I guess I'll just contact Kickstarter if they take more than the pledge amount, which I can't see happening considering it's set at $27 on the site itself.
If anyone else who pledged then upped their pledge amount later on could check Amazon to see if you see two payments too, I'd appreciate it.
It could happen. The final moments are always pretty insane.

What is this in response, too? Something on the stream? Or just general? I thought they said they were planning on doing portraits, and painted ones. Doesn't mean they will be good, see Icewind Dale versus the melty faced ones in BGII.

Can't wait to purchase a copy of this and actually support Obsidian with a sale for once (Re: Bethesda...) (Well, gift copies at least, but I'll gift the hell out of this one)
Nope, same card for both. Thanks for the suggestion though.

It's actually the third most funded project period on kickstarter.

Bumped my pledge by 28.
20 for the physical cd soundtrack (absurdly the same price as the expansion, but obviously it isn't a 1:1 transaction, donating to the production more than anything), and 8 for the Obsidian Order! Although I have no idea what that actually is other than apparently a title on the Obsidian Boards? Lol. I'm officially out, though. If the grab bags hadn't sold out in 1 minute I might have jumped on that.

My mind is blown that we are going to breach $4m on KS Proper.

Hmmm... I just checked my Amazon account since I ended up changing my pledge 3 times and it shows 3 "active" authorizations, similar to how you have 2.
I'm probably just going to leave it for now. I think I changed my pledge for the Wasteland Kickstarter and I was charged the right amount there without doing anything in my Amazon account.
Could you see if you have two payments on Amazon now you've increased your pledge? Thanks
Edit: Just seen Jibbajabbawockky's post above so don't worry about this request now.
Thanks, it seems that must just be what happens when pledges are changed then. Looking through emails for other projects I've backed, Amazon emails to say how much has been transferred, so if the amount's wrong, it should be easy to dispute. Seems like it'll be alright though. Thanks for the info

I have changed it multiple times, and I have 4 active authorizations. If Amazon doesn't get it right this will be an epic clusterfuck.
That's what *should* happen. That said, I don't think I've paid customs duty on anything through Kickstarter thus far; many such items have been marked as 'Gift', which is strictly what they are, and those have different customs rules to non-gifts.
That said, I've not actually recieved anything *very* expensive yet, though, and the other aspect of charging through customs means that the original sender has to declare the value. The most expensive reward I've recieved for now has been two copies of Diamond Trust of London, which were valued on the customs form as $10.
(I've been in two minds about what the correct thing with customs should be with Kickstarter, anyway. There's an important distinction between "Purchasing something that costs £x" and "Getting something as a free gift for donating £x" - not least because these items aren't *really* worth what we're paying for them, so it would be wrong to charge customs on the actual amount pledged)
