Fighter
Priest
Rogue
Wizard
Monk
Druid
Ranger
Barbarian
Cipher
Paladin
Chanter

See Update #15 for confirmation.

Ah ok thanks, couldn't find the update.

 

[Perkel]

Whoa Ziets as stretch goal.

I like their description of paladins. I hate D&D ones with their religion.

But Spagetti Monster Paladin would be badass. Wow money starter to flow. Just a while ago it was 500 now it's 508

 

[voodoopanda]

Happy about Chanters, I always like Bard-style classes. I just backed, although all I can afford right now is the 25$ level. Hopefully they'll hit at least 3 million by the end.

 

[Durante]

Ziets is a great stretch goal.

And I enjoy how it seems like with every update stuff is added to my tier. I hope it motivates people to upgrade!

 

[Castor Krieg]

Whoa, they made bards cool.

You mean like BG made them cool 10 years ago? And a multitude of other wRPGs years before?

 

[HK-47]

ZIETS

 

[Labadal]

George Ziets, aww yeah!

Oh, and screenshot tomorrow!

 

[subversus]

Never used bards

 

[Zeliard]

Avellone, Sawyer, Cain, Ziets

That is not a shabby team. Not shabby at all.

 

[EndcatOmega]

2e bards were many things; barring certain kits, I'm not sure 'cool' was one of them.

 

[adixon]

I think the idea of the bard (or chanter) being more literary than musical is really smart when you have a bunch of writers on the team famous for being good at what they do. The music aspect of bards is always so underwhelming in games, click a button and hear a few insipid measures of guitar strumming with your party buff, but a literary bard could make for a really awesome companion if well written.

 

[Dresden]

OH FUCK

DRUIDS

e:

OH FUCK

ZIETS

You mean like BG made them cool 10 years ago? And a multitude of other wRPGs years before?

Bards were lame. They only got semi-remotely cool when kits came out for the Blade and that basically stopped being a Bard by gimping every bard ability it had in favor of turning it into a fighter mage.

Unless you thought Haer'Dalis was really cool.

[Tess3ract]

If I donate a dollar now, can I upgrade when my check comes in this friday?

 

[DTKT]

I have never played Mask of the Betrayer because I'm too scrub for D&D mechanics. What is so good about Ziets?

As long as it's before the deadline, you can increase you pledge.

Nice creative story/characters/writing. MOTB is my favorite WRPG after PS:T based on those elements.

 

[Lancehead]

Mask of the Betrayer.

 

[superdeluxe]

So yeah....Ziets! Awesome news

 

[~Kinggi~]

I dont really know Zeits, and i imagine others dont either, but if its good news then im okay with it. Anyway i hope the final push is great. Lets keep it up!!

 

[dude]

2e bards were many things; barring certain kits, I'm not sure 'cool' was one of them.

If Haer'Dalis didn't make you think bards are cool there's something wrong with your concept of cool. Bards companions are just so much fun.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I never traveled with Haer'Dalis. I always told him to go fuck himself. My only regret is that I couldn't leave him in that Planar Prison.

 

[~Kinggi~]

One has to wonder though, how much money are they actually getting after they spend all this money on the reward physical goods.

 

[zkylon]

Physical goods cost Double Fine like 600k so I wager this'll be around that number.

Haer'Dalis was all awesome. Died right after escape. He stumbled upon a dagger.

 

[Trigger]

I never used bards. The benefits just didn't seem worth it, but Paladins? I'm all over that.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

Give me the option to add the expansion pack to my pledge (like the beta and the strategy guide) and I'll happily increase my pledge.

 

[Gattsu25]

I used a bard in NWN1

I loved that character.


Also, cool beans on Ziets as a stretch goal.

 

[Grakl]

Bards are the best class in any RPG. I maybe have to kickstart this now.

Oh, not musician-bard? Ehh.

 

[mclem]

So chanters are filling in for bards, but instead of being musicians, they're warrior-poets? That's kind of amazing... We need a chanter companion!

From a musician to a poet?

So they've gone from bard to verse?

 

[Hargenx]

Finally a solo Paladin!

 

[Tess3ract]

Man I really want beta access, but it's not worth shelling out an extra $25 for. That's the price of a full game just to have beta access. meh..

 

[adixon]

From a musician to a poet?

ugh!

 

[DTKT]

I guess it becomes kind of fuzzy in terms of funding. Does the additional money go to the main project or the expansion?

 

[Zaptruder]

I've just realized that the mega dungeon that they're making is kinda what I was asking for at the very early stages of the kickstarter.

Niceee. Upped my pledge.

 

[The Technomancer]

Man I really want beta access, but it's not worth shelling out an extra $25 for. That's the price of a full game just to have beta access. meh..

I actually don't want beta access: I want to experience the game for the first time when its finished, balanced, polished and complete. I don't want to spoil anything for myself.

 

[superdeluxe]

I guess it becomes kind of fuzzy in terms of funding. Does the additional money go to the main project or the expansion?

Not really, no funds will be used from ks for expansion

 

[Tess3ract]

I never care about getting spoiled about anything.

It's not about the content, it's about the journey.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

Brilliant :lol

Obsolete Gamer's interview with Avellone, part 2.

Some good bits in there. Like this one:

What is the most influential yet obscure game you have ever played and why do you find it so important in your gaming history?

Well, in terms of influential yet obscure, that cuts a lot of games out – I feel a lot of the more common games have had a big influence on my designs (Portal, Chronotrigger, Ultima Underworld). If I were to name some “obscure” ones, I’d probably say System Shock 2 is the top of the list (it’s basically a design doc for how to make a great game), Amnesia: The Dark Descent for introducing a challenge mechanism that could simultaneously terrify you, Bastion’s narration mechanics, and Wasteland for proving to me how you could use game mechanics in the context of a “conventional” RPG to make some truly brilliant levels if you took a step back and thought outside the box.

 

[Ledsen]

If I donate a dollar now, can I upgrade when my check comes in this friday?

You don't pay anything until the Kickstarter is over.

 

[Micerider]

Okay, I waited long enough, and this is actually my first Kickstarter support to date (almost did it for Double Fine's project, but was less confident in the project, even though I love their past work, which was sometimes a bit thin on the gameplay-side).

Went for the 35$ option, can't wait to see the end result. Obsidian has provided some of the best RPG this gen (New Vegas, Alpha Protocol) and I have a little Baldur's Gate 2 cult of my own.

 

[pyros]

I went with paypal for shadowrun and wasteland, was wondering if kickstarter accepts payments from Asia, specifically, Singapore

You just need an Amazon account.

 

[Durante]

So you're waiting until 2016?

 

[kurahador]

They do. You just have to register for amazon payment.

Beaten.

 

[pyros]

Thanks for the quick reply guys, I have an Amazon account, and already signed up for the 140 tier(+20 for international shipping..duh, I'm an idiot), but for the life of me, I can't remember why I didn't use it before, so got a bit worried as there's only eight day left.

 

[viewtifulsub]

Holy crap George Ziets. No idea what he was responsible for in New Vegas, but Mask of the Betrayer was phenomenal. Easily one of the best WRPGs this (?) generation. Dat glorious verbal encounter (spoilers i guess)

That dialogue is incredible; I'd put that alongside some of the Torment ones.
