Nothing I haven't read before on the wiki. (I had to go back and rewatch as I stopped first time when I realised he is ugly).

Looks nice, but I only do digital only these days.

grumbler will tell you this is fake - if the guy is Polish, he should be in some bunker training for war

I will?  Thanks!  I've never known I wanted to tell people that if a person is Polish, he should be in a bunker training for war.  Absent this thread, I may never have even found out that I thought that, let alone that I would tell anyone that. :thumbsup:

Sorry, when I said 'looks nice' I was talking about the packaging and the maps and so forth. :P

I just checked my pledge for the game. I pledged $50.- which equates to the price of the standard edition on Steam.

However, it comes with all the knickknack of the "Royal Edition" which costs twice the price (and a few additional extras), except the strategy guide.

Which is nice.

What I appreciate, though (as someone who tends to get lost between pre-order boni) is that none of the additional items you would get from the more expensive game editions is game content. A lore book, a soundtrack, a making off, a story, some wallpapers etc. That's how you do digital special editions. Throw in some stuff for fans who want to have more goodies, or support the devs, but don't take anything away from the people who just want to play the game. (That said, I find the price for the Royal Edition a bit outrageous for what you get).

It's a nice change from the usual hodgepodge of pre-order stuff where you get e.g. a quest when you order from place A, an additional class when you order from B, an exclusive pet when you order the Deluxe Edition etc.

Right now the Hero edition is #3 seller on Steam, the Royal edition is #32.

Pretty good for a game not even out yet. Though I do notice it is still behind Grand Theft Auto V which is even more not-out-yet.

Well, GTA V has been out for consoles for nearly a year so it's different.

Well also it is GTA.

Bit the bullet and preordered it.

Can't wait for Thursday. I'm just about to finish a major project so I'll have plenty of spare time too.

I'm closing a major transaction on Monday so looking forward to playing it afterwards. :P

I'll be reading this thread with interest to see if I should buy it. 

Meanwhile, thanks to all those of you who pledged money for this game and made it possible  :P

All you guys who backed it should have your steam/GoG keys now. Preload is available if you are planning on playing on release day.

Preloading now!  Using Steam because, well I like Steam.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Speaking of which Pillars of Eternity is #1 on both GoG and Steam. Almost want to be "sick" tomorrow.
