I'll be damned.  It's actually going to be a thing.

Hardly surprising. They just had a retty successful release last year. There is a reason people gave them their money.

Still seems strange to me.
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

I had loads of fun playing Divinity: Original Sin, so my appetite for old school RPGs is well and truly whetted. This might, MIGHT, be the first game I buy on release since EU4.

I can't wait. Most I have been excited for a game since Dragon Age: Origins.

GOLD!

For all that means anymore.

I suspect it will have lots of bugs.

From the linked page:

"For more information on Pillars of Eternity, visit eternity.obsidian.net."

Click on link, 404 - Page Not Found error.

What a disaster.

Testing has actually been extensive and it is orders of magnitude more bug free than previous Obsidian titles...for what that's worth.

I have been following the Beta closely.

http://eternity.obsidian.net/ works fine but the link doesn't. Strange.

Anyway that is Paradox not being able to link things, nothing to do with the game.

QuotePre-orders also include two special in-game items: a Giant Miniature Space Piglet...

Game looks good.

The original kickstarter pitch said the game would be priced at $25.

No it didn't. Though you could get a copy with a donation of $20.00 at the time.

I think I'm suppose to get it, but I have no idea how.

Wait you backed it? If you are supposed to get it they are going to give you a steam key on Monday or Tuesday. Release is Thursday.

The website for backers is here I think: http://eternity.obsidian.net/

Yeah, I backed it at 35 dollar level.  I just never messed with it after that.
