Slightly more expensive but not a ridiculous price.

Hadn't looked into them until now, but the companions sound awesome.
And that Barik fellow has an awesome look to him, so in true Tyranny fashion I took it for myself.

I really don't want to derail the thread too much here, but I'm just not really familiar with cdkeys.com, so: do we have concrete information on how developers get compensated through cdkeys.com?
I normally don't buy from shadier sites, period, but the deal is pretty good over there -- I just want to be sure that Obsidian is being properly compensated, because if anyone deserves it it's them. I'd feel crappy(-er) if they didn't get any money from me for their non-Kickstarter PoE follow up.

Woot! Thank you! Overlording it like a Trump.
I honestly don't know. I don't use them myself, but I see them recommended everywhere.
They buy retail copies from wholesalers, sometimes exploiting low income region loopholes, and rip the codes from the boxes. They are compensated from the original wholesaler sale, so there's no direct line from buying it there to Paradox/ Obsidian.
So if you are feeling iffy, I'd suggest Wingamestore. Only like 5 dollars difference and more money will be going to them.
FWIW Cdkeys is probably the most legit grey market site out there though, so if you have to indulge in that side of gaming sites, they are probably the least harmful.

I'm feeling depressed and want to see somebody take it to the evil overlord. What's a good Let's Play?
I have some bad news - in Tyranny, you are on the side of evil and Overlord Kyros. Your character serves as a judge and excecutioner to Kyros' Law. So you will pretty much do the opposite in your own way.
The stream I watch a large chunk of was Day9's stream. It's probably a bit sillier and slower than the other ones - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKUQO4CZFzE

No, I know that, but I saw a bit during one of the gameplay reveals where the character was fighting on the side of the rebels (or at least against both the Unfavored and the Chorus). Is that not a valid path?
ed: this one.
The game isn't out yet so if you want an LP you'll probably have to wait a week or so.

I saw that the steaming embargo was up a few days ago and figured somebody might have at least started that. Ah well. Will check out the Day9 steam, I could do with some silly.
Cristopher Odd is doing a Let's Play and has so far two episodes up. Here is the link to the first for anyone that needs it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhCy6rAtqZg

How fucking timely is this OT
I'd laugh if I wasn't soul-suckingly morose right now

Enter Elysium is usually pretty great although I haven't watched this one in particular

Well I haven't played the game through so I have no idea where the story will go. I wouldn't count on that being a valid path as much as I wouldn't count on anything in this kind of game.

Purchased. The relatively quiet marketing campaign plus my difficulty watching LPs of RPGs have left me in a position to go into this game fresh. I'm looking forward to it.

At first I was disappointed by news of the length of the game, but now that I think about some of my favorite RPGs of the last couple of years has been the Shadowrun games by Harebrained. An Obsidian game of this size (especially one that is so replayable!) seems like it could be legit amazing.
Just kind of annoyed because I'm still gunning for the Skyrim plat, and Dishonored comes out the same day. Then next week Pokemon comes out. Then Walking Dead Season 3. Then Final Fantasy 15.
THERE ARE TOO MANY EXCEPTIONAL GAMES

Damn this is too real. Tremendous OT OP.
Also despite this being on my radar for a while now I am still amazed it's out tomorrow. I really wasn't paying attention to it at all because I thought it was so far off at first and when I did see it was coming out tomorrow a month or more ago it never really sunk in. So great to have another Obsidian RPG.

Boo that spec bump from PoE.
There are three major factions in the game.
@brains!
Probably, it will need some patches. That's usually the case for most rpgs.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I really want to read some impressions. I bought the Overlord edition, so hopefully, that was a good call.
So this unlocks tomorrow in the AM? Gonna be hard to juggle this and Dishonored 2 at the same time.
On a slightly related matter, was the PoE novella Chris Avellone agreed to write ever completed? I stopped following that game shortly after the expansion wrapped up but IIRC it wasn't available then.

It has been out since at least October. I haven't read it yet nor heard any impressions about it.

Good lord, this timing. Hell, I kinda hope it helps the game, as twisted as that may sound.

Damnit. Why couldn't they have done turned base combat?
My main problem with RtwP is that after doing it for 20 hours it gets very boring.
Does anyone know if they improved the combat over PoE?

Looks great, and the linked article in the op got me hyped. Great OT. I'm a physical whore, I actually imported a copy from the U.K. Don't actually know if it will work or not, but I'm excited to give the game a go. What I'm reading certainly makes it seem like a narrow slice of content, so price is disappointing. But hopefully it's concentrated awesome.
The learn by doing system is my least favorie part pre-release. I hope I am proven wrong.

Yeah, I decided not to get this until it's bargain bin because of that. I mean, I loved BG2 in the day, and enjoyed PoE, but the combat just turned into a mess by the end for me personally, it was not fun at all.
I'm giving away a copy of Tyranny over in the Steam thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=223818912&postcount=3067
That's really nice of you.
