I keep getting confused and thinking PoE means Path of Exile but I'm pretty sure this game won't ask me to put a bunch of skillpoints in a gigantic sphere grid where everything is "+0.0001% damage with double-edged broadswords" and call it a deep combat system, so hopefully that'll go away

Also what are the odds of a Minsc/Boo reference showing up in the first hour? I'm actually guessing pretty low considering Bioware isn't making this game

I want this game to have honest-to-god video game romance subplots, but only because I want Obsidian to completely trounce Bioware in yet another category

Never back kickstarter or pay for early access no matter how good you think the game is.

Even in this hour of temptation you must resist, because remember kerbal Space Program still isn't finished after all these years and that's considered the poster child for crowd funding.

You're wrong.

The trick is to never stop playing until you got to the end.

Stopping, taking a break for a few days and so forth will make you forget about it and then you'll never come back to it.

if you have like 20 charisma you can actually convince that dragon to eat aerie as a sacrifice and then it flies away.

I forget exactly but i think what I did was go here http://eternity.obsidian.net/backer/tiers select whatever package, go to the next step, add the beta key addon, go to the next step, then hit back twice and remove the base package, then go forward and it still kept the beta key addon.

Oh no that doesnt work how about this: go straight to http://eternity.obsidian.net/backer/addons and just add the beta key and hit next.

Also if you do that you can buy a regualr key of the game for 25 lol. Without having pledged at all before. I dunno if they're gonna honor it but I mean, if they didn't it'd be hosed up since they done took your money.

Man, more than anything I just hope this game has magic that's actually interesting. I want to cast poo poo like Horror and Polymorph Self/Other and Sticks to Snakes and weird abjuration/anti-abjuration stuff like in BG2, not "damage one guy" "damage one guy harder" "damage multiple guys" like every other fuckin RPG (Dragon Age)

fr is nice in tabletop because no matter what retard thing your players do you have reams of material to bounce back with and riff off of. note that this only works if you dont have that guy who memorizes the entire sourcebook

in a video game i have no idea
