i dont know about anyone else but i held off my pledge until the final hour so i could be part of the last minute surge.
I wanted to up my original pledge for some add-ons and checked the page to find that it was ending in the next 8 minutes. I wasn't originally planning on waiting until the last few minutes.

i know opinions and all but NWN1 is a bad idea. Its nothing like the IE games.
Woah there buddy.
Yeah, don't play NWN, it's not worth the time.
Start with the best ones, i recommend going straight to BG2, but BG is still good too.

Besides the fact that i believe the game is bad all around its also:
a) not by the developers of Project Eternity
b) not even in the same vein as what Project Eternity is shooting for
c) one of the worst rpgs to play in terms of.. well.. everything, imo. The only redeeming quality of the game is the fan created scenarios. i know i said despite the fact but fuck it lol
I decided to play a stupid character in fallout 2. So stupid that he died fighting the stationary plants in the village with a spear. RIP Dor.

Any relation to Torr? lol
He is now! It was just the first monosyllabic name I thought of for a character with a speach skill of 0%
I have become quite rich as a stupid character in Fallout by smuggling people. Then I got bored.
and by the way, are there any really memorable scenarios for NWN1?
The previews for that game seemed so promising, but the end product was less than satisfying. Story wasn't all that great and my OCD along with the crate/barrel insanity combined to make playing it pretty tedious.

Between this, Wasteland 2, Shadowrun Returns and the CDProjekt Cyberpunk game, the cRPG crowd is in for some really good games going forward.
I've been happy with the Western RPG output this generation so far but it's nice to have a bunch of PC exclusive ones that cater to the mouse and keyboard crowd.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I wake up to this having made $4.1m. Jesus.
Because all their employees are either drunk or asleep. Expect an update tomorrow.
I confess. I pirated Planescape: Torment a decade ago. I was young and poor. It ended up becoming the greatest gaming experience of my life and I needed to right this wrong.
Oh god. What have I done?
Damn it. I was at 250, but I couldn't resist.
You guys should have the junior title removed!
:bow:

Feargus did say they would be back to work tomorrow morning. That might be possible. They started partying at east coast 10, so if they stopped partying at East Coast 3am they could make it in. I somehow doubt it. But they did start the party early in the office, so they might not have made it very far in the wild.
I was in denial for the whole two acts, i couldn't face the fact that's the game is shit. I quit in the third act, when i figured out i will do the exact same stuff before - go to the map north of hub city, go through five dungeon floors, go back to the city, do the same in the west, east and south of the city and finish the act. Even Aribeth, the only good character in the game, couldn't make me complete the game.
If there's NWN worth playing is the second one - made by Obsidian. Starts fairly generic, but everything picks up and it's a blast for the rest of the game.
I'm so hyped for PE right now that I think i need to play some infinity engine games. It's been a while i touched any Icewind Dale stuff, for example....

They'll probably leave the PayPal window open for a bit. Eventually they will probably want to scale down to digital only, but if you were looking for physical you can probably still get it in that way.
Kickstarter is telling me I'm still a backer and that I can fix my payment by using a different credit card.
Too bad NWN2's become annoying to find, and GameFly pulled the downloads they had offered. Well, I still have my keys at least, I can probably install from a borrowed DVD and just use my D2D key on it. Second expansion will be a pain, but then it's the second one I want to play most.
Damn though, should've just bit the bullet and rebought on Steam with the first sale, I didn't think Hasbro would be assholes and not bother keeping the game up with them as publisher there and elsewhere, nevermind PULLING the download from places that bothered to put it back up. :/

I want to play that game so goddamn much now but i have no idea where to buy it digitally
You can't. Sucks because I didn't get a chance to play it (or MotB) either...

It's available for fairly cheap on Amazon.
Reviews imply that it's very unstable with Windows 7, unfortunately...
Why did they remove it? :/
never had any problems
Ah oh... just got the mail from amazon about my payment:

Apparently problems in Win7 are related to which version of DirectX you've installed (much like for example Jade Empire it requires DirectX9). Also it seems to help if you run the game in Win XP compatibility mode. But anyway, in the end is does seem to work after some tweaking.

Only a part of the company will be working on Project Eternity (like 25-30 people out of 100 if I'm not mistaken). The other part is working on the South Park game I assume. When that's done, who knows what will happen. Even when PE turns out to be a great success, will they be able to keep 100 people employed?
Hopefully they'll find something else for those people to make.
