I backed at the $49 tier and just finished playing/streaming it for almost 5 hours. It's fantastic.

I feel like I've stumbled upon a great party comp:

[back to front] Jester, Plague Doctor, Highwayman, Leper.

The Jester's songs buff the party and help relieve stress. Doc can stun the back row and hand out damage buffs. The Leper and Highwayman have great aoe attacks so my strategy is basically to burst everything down and not worry about healing due to the Deaths' Door mechanic.

Anyone who is aptly skilled willing to delve into the dark recesses of the game files to find the list of kickstarter inputted heroes?

All of the backer heroes are listed in \DarkestDungeon\shared\hero\backer_heroes.json

25% discount for DD1 owners on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/31810/Darkest_Dungeon_The_Iron_Crown/

for reference: I bought DD2 on EGS for $17 with a $10 coupon when early access launched in 2021 so I'm gonna wait for a sale. There's a one time EGS -> Steam save file transfer apparently according to their discord

Yeah but if I had known that choice meant fighting the Shambler, I probably would have gotten to the Inn.

What are the upgrades to focus on first, aside from unlocking everybody?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56yP-HvV7zs

tldw: unlock new heroes first (grave robber is the most replaceable of the initial 4)
gacha: only splash leftover points here - if you get healing salves from combat items, you're pretty much done with that category

that's just the point-based metaprogression

there's the hero stories that unlock skills that require playing/routing

I don't suppose if I got the game on Epic during early access I could get the Steam version or have a deal on the Steam version, could I? :v:

Nope the best you're going to get is 25% off if you own DD1 on steam. I believe there is an EGS save transfer prompt on first launch of the Steam version
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/31810/Darkest_Dungeon_The_Iron_Crown/

The only developer to my knowledge that has given Steam copies after exiting EGS early access was Klei Entertainment when Griftlands left exclusive early access and launched on Steam. They had you link your EGS and Steam accounts to their own account infrastructure (kleientertainment) and distributed copies that way

I have been slain by the Obsession boss, and gained zero comprehension of how I'm supposed to fight it in the process.

Phase 1:
This is a prep phase. The eyes place a mark on the party member opposite of their current position and continue attacking the marked member until they are fully evolved. Fully killing an eye in its least evolved form removes their currently marked target. Taunt does not work here so you need to either Dodge, Guard, or move party members or an eye into position. The phase transitions once all 4 eyes are fully grown. You do not want to spend much time in this phase because of the stress damage unless you're fishing for Resolute procs, which will help in the final phase

Phase 2:
DPS race, good luck. Ideally got all of the marks on your tankiest member or split between 2 of the tankiest last phase because they are going to be on death's door constantly
