This is what an actual saga looks like.

The Banner Saga, a unique Viking-themed role-playing game with solid tactical combat mechanics, beautiful 2D graphics that look nothing like any other modern title, and a captivating heart-touching story, is now available 10% off DRM-Free on GOG.com, for Windows and Mac OS X. That's only $22.49 for the first week.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/the_banner_saga][/url]The Banner Saga invites you to live through an epic role-playing Viking saga where your strategic choices directly affect your personal journey. Make allies as you travel with your caravan across this stunning yet harsh landscape. Carefully choose those who will help fight a new threat that jeopardizes an entire civilization. Every decision you make in travel, conversation and combat has a meaningful effect on the outcome as your story unfolds. Not everyone will survive, but they will be remembered. The game offers you with a variety of over 25 playable characters from 2 different races, human and varl, the horned giants, and your choices in combat will have consequences for all whomever you choose to lead into battle. With the beautifully hand drawn combat sequences and animations, accompanied by an evocative score from Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory, the game will immerse you into a fantasy realm inspired by Norse mythology. Make sure to pick this one up, as there are very few modern games as original and engrossing as this one.

Embark on one of the most awe-inspiring journeys that modern gaming has to offer, and take a plunge into the beautiful snowy landscape of The Banner Saga, for only $22.49 on GOG.com. The 10% off release discount offer lasts until Tuesday, February 12, at 10:59AM GMT.
Finally!
Very nice! So that's why the site was a little jittery.
So it's finally here. Wishlisted, will try it later this year. :)
Lookie here! This might work better than Kronos for scratching. I'll think about it.
Yes, finally! Instabuy!
Excellent! Now all we need to get is our GOG keys from Stoic.

From Update #47:

A DRM-free version of the game is under development now and we are still working with GOG to distribute soon. This will also be available to all backers even if you downloaded a Steam copy.
Insta-bought! This is the kind of game for which I come to GOG!

I personally didn't mind that it appeared a bit later of GOG than Steam, it is not like I didn't have anything to play while waiting. In fact, I am probably not going to play this yet for some time, adding it to my backl... gaming library.

Correction they have download link for KS backers up for a direct download, the dev posted it on the drm free thread on Stoic forum. But aside from that, no mention of gog etc..

Yay, I hope the devs give backers who want one a gog key.
YEEES!

I was starting to worry they do not want to release this game here - buying right after payday :)
