"Pillars of Eternity: RPG funded by Kickstarter"

Only been up 2hours:)
I bet it will reach the goal in less than 10 days.
I cant wait to see the stretch goals, im sure it will encourage some crazy extra pledges.
 
Hopefully this will give them the money to actually finish a game.

Torment was a REALLY REALLY great game - i'd put it ahead of Deus Ex personally, but every single thing they've done since then has been rushed, unfinished and needed a large amount of player / modders time to complete.

I've really enjoyed a lot of their output, but it's consistently unfinished.

The highlights since Torment have been Alpha Protocol and KOTOR 2.
 
Who says the fans don't want old-school cRPGs? With Tim Cain, Josh Sawyer and Chris Avellone all working on the same project the potential for awesome is high. I'd prefer turn-based combat though, so I'll hold off donating for now.

Edit: even the notoriously critical RPGCodex are throwing money at this. :p

That's what happens when publishers refuse to extend\pay for development time (combined with lofty ambitions and Feargus Urquhart's slightly creaky management). It was Bethesda's decision to halt further patching for Fallout New Vegas, and even then Josh Sawyer took it upon himself to update the game with his JSawyer mod for free. The other thing that will be different this time is the sales revenue will go to Obsidian rather than the publisher.

doh used my donations fund on PA :(
& then Borderlands 2 is out in 6 days so another £30 to that

This is going to make it's target of over 1 million in a day :o

How high will it go? I'm thinking 4million depending on stretch goals (they'd best have some impressive stretch goals!)
