The toy sounds like a blast!
The 1.5 and 2.0 M goals seem a bit underwhelming to me. In comparison, PE had a goals every 100k to 300k and a bit more clarity on exactly what crossing each goal meant. They also had a really sweet backer goal which encouraged positive word of mouth.
Then again, a lot of PE goals were things that Torment included as a baseline such as language support and mac/linux support. Hopefully this is just a rush job and we'll be hearing more and expanded goals soon.

Soooooo... $1.8M by the 24 hour mark? Double funding in a day would be ridiculous.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hit 2m.
This post broke my heart.
Man, Avellone has to do something on this game. I demand cosmic justice!
Even the developers probably don't disagree that the combat is a weakness of the game. Play it as a Wizard (You'll miss out on parts of the story if you don't) and knock the difficulty down.
*EDIT:
Opening up a $20 pledge slot in a few minutes if anyone is interesting in jumping in at the ground level.
Thanks, I grabbed it. Will probably go up from here, but it's a start.
I think the only real difference is that the PE goals had little graphics to go with them rather than big chunks of text. Comparatively speaking a lot of what is being offered in these goals so far covers quite a few of the goals from PE, or was already covered in the initial offering. I would like to see something like that super dungeon thing, but perhaps that is not as fitting for this game as it was for PE. Considering the kickstarter is likely going to pass 2 million in the next 12 hours or so, the focus should probably be on the goals beyond that level once things start to slow down in the next few days.

Ok, just watched their trailer for kickstarter campaign and I think Mark's music sold me this one. If trailer alone brought me goosebumps then I'm definitely tempted to see what will happen to me with the full game.
not a lot but we'll see. I didn't expect it to be funded on the first day so I'm bad at being Nostradamus.

Concept art is ridiculously good. Please let Obsidan have some of that. Bar the only released screenshot, everything artistic from PE looked like utter dogshit so far.
Really?
How is that utter dogshit?
I don't understand why people are shitting on PE when the artworks we got so far is on the same level as Torment.
Use Quote for big pictures.
looking forward to this game, but I think I won't be backing their kickstarter this time unless they add another tier with some neat incentives in the lower price range. I'm already supporting all the other big RPG projects and I kinda don't want to pay for another title that I won't be able to play for 1 1/2 years.
e: ah screw it, the concept art is just too nice to not back this. Take all my money, InXile

People are probably only familiar with those very early pieces that were released. The difference with PE and Torment, is that the latter has clearly already put some time into the concept art at this stage whereas PE started from scratch with the kickstarter.

Because it costs moar and money is evil.
Good concept art doesn't always make for a good looking game.I can count on both hands how many awesome looking concept artworks we've seen this gen but failed to deliver.I would say concept art can be as deceitful as CGI.
No kidding. Each project I've supported has at least a couple irrational backer responses to certain updates. For example, the Dreamfall: Chapters supporters complaining about the Zoe model or even her nose ring. Her nose ring.
What exactly are people arguing? That being a female character shouldn't lead to different interactions with NPCs? Or something else?
Either way it's inevitable. You get 30k highly enthusiastic backers and you're bound to have various reactions to these updates.
That's been my thought at that time: prove it's worth it, and I'll buy it.I didn't back it either, but I don't regret it. I'll just buy it when it comes out.
I trust Obsidian enough for Project Eternity though, and the others I've backed... ah hell, let's run with this.
Slow overnight - for, well, obvious reasons - but as Europe wakes up it's picked up serious steam. It's not 100k/hr any more, but it's still comfortably five figures/hr.

well, I could get it cheaper.
But if they made a game which is more impressive than you thought it would be, they probably deserve a bit more!

You can also wait two months and buy it for -50%.
