    Anyone planning on beta testing the game? I've thought about it but somehow I can't bring myself to pay extra to beta test a game.

    I pre-ordered the collectors edition yesterday, can't wait for the beta-testing to start next month :D

    Just bought the Digital Download Plus edition, the Expansion Pack, Strategy Guide, and Almanac. ~$100 well spent XD
    Champing at the bit!

    I loved the atmosphere of that gameplay clip. Kindda reminded me of Diablo 1 for some reason, which is really really good.

    Nonsense.

    @Isaya, I congratulate you on your sense of humour.

    I'm completely honest when I'm saying there would be legitimately no better way to spend the money than a box full of all manner of feelies.

    They could've skipped the whole game part and just filled the box with really expensive stuff and I would've been content.

    @Erg, I notice you've stopped arguing entirely for a couple days now, and instead each of your posts is just dismissing whatever we say entirely and laughing at it. That's not very nice.

    So many games, so little time... I have so many games I'm playing or want to play in the near future. There's Eternity, Wasteland 2, Divinity Original Sin, Shadowrun Returns Dragonfall,GRID Autosport, Project CARS, and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Then there are a bunch of old games that I just got but haven't played yet, like XCOM Enemy Unknown/Within, XCOM Bureau something, Book of Unwritten Tales sequel, Consortium, Race, Race 07, GTR, GTR2, and GT Legends. Too bad I have to work to make a living.

    First world problems.

    Obsidian presented Pillars of Eternity's backer beta live at the Paradox Fancon at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.

    This is a 25 minute rundown of the beta where Chris Saywer walks us through one of the quests in the beta. Everything depicted in this beta an optional part of the game and does not spoiler anything from the story.

    It looks like they are using IWD2 Spell Icons. Very excited for this.

    i am loving these gameplay videos

    edit- i'm probably not doing the game justice here, but it looks like a nwn-style game with better graphics, a less annoying camera angle and a better interface!

    so maybe not so much like nwn, but hey

    Are you a paid backer for the Kickstarter? If so, check their forum for downloading instructions, or e-mail perhaps?

    I am a backer, though not through Kickstarter. I backed them through their official website.
    There is neither an e-mail in my inbox, nor anything in the backer-portal for me :\
  • Sylvus_MoonbowSylvus_Moonbow Member Posts: 1,085
    Yeah, you might have had to back a certain amount of money to be considered for the beta ... $110 or more based on the Kickstarter pledge list.
  • ButtercheeseButtercheese Member Posts: 3,766
    I preordered the collectors edition for 160USD (inclusive shipping), I am fairly certain a beta-key was included :/

    To get the beta you have to pay an additional $25 on top of at least owning a digital copy of the game (which is itself $35).

    PS: Apparently, the Beta was delayed, according to the official forums -.-
    Took me only an hour to find a random forumpost about this (They really could have put an announcement on the frontpage, really.)

    FYI there is a seperate part of the forum for backer beta.

    According to this
