It's supposed to come out October/November.
Assisting making the OT. I signed up for in the Volunteer thread.
yeah I wouldn't count on any kickstarter game making their original release dates
well maybe project eternity since the guys at obs game themselves like 2 years time
usual OT stuff like making banners, writing shit and scavenging for screenshots, spellcheck, etc.
In April 2014, we might get a beta version of Eternity but I doubt we'll get the full game until Q3 2014.
yea you're probably right
I didn't remember the exact date when I made my post, just 2014.
and pe being finished 9 months from now seems like a pipe dream

well I would love to help but as others have already said, there still seems to be plenty of time
Wasteland3Guru has a rundown of the Gamestar info: http://www.wasteland2guru.com/news/25243-wasteland-2-gamestar-preview
just a few tidbits (more at the site):

love this.
sounds like a good summary but I'll let you guys know if there is anything else in the gamestar preview that's worth knowing.
Brian Fargo just posted a link to a new article over on RPS: Wasteland 2′s Delay: All About Making Choice Matter which explains a bit about what they're up to. Sounds rather ambitious, hope it works out as well as they intend.

Kickstarter hype + decent price + demand for this kind of game + DD makes 300k a very feasible number.

So not a fan of branching plot. Still gonna play it, but this is really not my thing.

Everything Fargo is saying is exactly what I was hoping for.
Nathan Grayson mentioned he's seen a lot of the game and impressions will follow tomorrow, so we'll undoubtedly be hearing more specifics on the combat and general gameplay very soon.
RPS as a whole are generally very good about being uncommonly critical in previews if the need arises, so I trust that we'll get some fair impressions.

I dunno how much shadowruns sold, it'd be a good metric to compare it against

Anyone know how much this is going to be for non-pledgers?

I'm guessing it will be $40.
Lowest tier to get the game on KS was $15, so I think it'll be priced lower than that.
Mine as well.
Yep to get money on next game they don't need to sell much. This is why crowdfunding is amazing. They already have everything funded and each sold copy will be profit for them.
If they will release game for 30$ on steam/gog/gmg etc and those places will get 30% of it and InXile will have $21 from each copy then they will get :
100 000 copies - $2 100 000
200 000 copies - $4 200 000
300 000 copies - $6 300 000
For mare 300k they would have cash for creating Wasteland 3 and money to keep company running in case of problems.
Also as i heard they will release W2 in Europe via retailers which in places like Eastern Europe and Russia could be big if priced right.

bought the gamestar issue today. kinda bummed it didn't have that neat wasteland 2 cover but aw well.
some thing I found interesting & I don't know how far this has been discussed in one of the updates before but you'll be able to expand your party up to 3 npcs. some might be useful in combat but total dicks in your group, like stealing ammo from you or something. some of them may be really cool but kinda useless on the battlefield. the article put it that way (I just translated):
"do you let the guy steal from you because he's really useful in combat? Or do you shoot him?" they also want us to choose if we'd rather have a "genuine and funny buddy or a really useful one"
so the npc management really comes down to holding up some priorities, which I really like.
and yes..concerning the european distribution...a standard german retail version of the game is intended. this is probably similar to other european countries

Everything regarding reactivity and consequence is awesome! Wasteland on steroids, indeed. Where's the update detailing skills? Is there an update planned to talk about the flow of combat as it pertains to permadeath/health system (UNC/SER/CRT/MRT) and skills?

don't know if you have seen the list of skills yet, that's all there is concerning skills right now..at least as far as I know. (there will be some hidden skills that inxile doesn't want to tell yet though)
