OK! After much team deliberation we have one final ultimate stretch goal. At $4.0m we will be enhancing the whole game. We will use live instrumentation for the soundtrack, add developer in-game commentary, and use every dollar between $3.5m and $4m to enhance the game. Also at $4.0m Chris Avellone will be forced to play Arcanum. I rather they make a good game instead of announcing more stuff. What else do you want? | ||

I'm glad they're focusing on embellishing their final product rather than, say, shoehorning filler in. | ||

That said for some reason people go nutty trying to reach them, and ultimately more money is a good thing, unless they now waste all their time making "big huge cities!!!" that have no relevance to the actual plot of the game, and in true Obsidian fashion, we get some sort of convoluted, half finished mess of ideas | ||

There's a lot about kickstarter culture that I just don't get, and stretch goals are one of them. The idea of people just thinking up things to throw in their game so people will give them more money just doesn't sit right with me. If you know what your game is going to have and you have a general idea of what it will cost, there's no need to keep pulling these random extras out.

If you all of a sudden see support like the stuff this project is getting you can start being creative because you know you have the funds to support it. People understand there isn't some guarantee with kickstarter, you place a certain level of faith in the developer. | ||

Imagine an epic grimoire named "Special Tactics". And goodness knows what TL could make an enemy adventuring team into. | ||

Also at $4.0m Chris Avellone will be forced to play Arcanum. The #1 reason to throw money at PE perhaps  ? Arcanum is a real hidden gem, though a bit unpolished at times. Overshadowed by other brilliant CRPGs developed at that time. | ||
