Obsidian raised a million dollars in a day on Kickstarter

So is this worth spending $$ on or what?

I feel my party generally suck balls and that I screwed up character creation.

Yes, these are my feelings too. I blame the completely new RPG system.
Too many different damage types, too many different conditions influencing the character, and a not well defined weapons and armor system.
Or maybe I'm getting old. 

Re: Katmai: absolutely yes, if you loved BG2, IWD, Torment.

Yeah, now that I'm familiar with the system, I'd completely start over again. So many poor decisions in character creation and levelling, in hindsight.

Still, it isn't a game where min-maxing seems that important unless you blundered terribly, at least on hard difficulty.

[Syt]

And that's why I switched to "Easy" difficulty after I ran my head against the same fight over and over again. And I'm still struggling sometimes.

Yeah it is pretty great.

For those who have almost finished the game:
what did you do with [spoiler]the Adra Dragon? I let it live and possess the body of the dragon slayer.[/spoiler]

I killed it. Very hard fight though, needed a few tries to nail down the best tactic and party composition.

[Pedrito]

Worse than the Searing Falls one?

You are worse than Hitler for reloading, apparently, according to the CK II thread.

[Razgovory]

Different type of game.

raz is right, but the discussion in that thread was weird.

spend your time the way that meets my expectations or you're doing it wrong

i mean, whether it's save/reload vs. playing without ever reloading or min-maxing v. "true roleplay," who cares what another person does?

[Valmy]

That would indeed have been weird. But that was not how that conversation went at all. Read it again. I commented on the nature of the game as I felt it. I never attacked anybody.

i read it awhile ago. my post in this thread wasn't referring to anyone in particular, more the overall attack on tim because he played the game the way he wanted.

It was because he turned around and wanted our approval for it.

Anyway this was just announced:

Since everybody seems to be loving my Dragon Age AAR () maybe I will do one for this once it comes out.
