Ha! You foreign freaks, always copying us while putting us down! ;-p (I'm just kidding ) =D
EDIT: If I read this right, it sounds like the UK kickstarter will be better it says that you can enter your credit card through their site, that means Amazon doesn't get a cut, so it's better for the people who create Kickstarters. That's great, thanks for sharing it with me. :D

Did you really have no problems with those? You must be pretty lucky, or played them pretty late after they came out. NWN2 has some pretty serious performance issues, and Fallout New Vegas needed a ton of patching before it was relatively stable. Alpha Protocol was even worse, though it's stabilized fairly well now too.

However, Dungeon Siege 3 was rock solid in the technical department, and I didn't run into a single bug. That was enough for me to suppress my doubts and go for the Kickstarter. Plus when you factor in that they're using a pretty user friendly engine, I'm pretty sure it will all work out for the best.

But yeah, I definitely get why people wouldn't back it, I almost just waited. But I caved at the last second after replaying the beginning of Icewind Dale, I really miss that style of game.

Yeah, I really didn't have a problem with them ( if I had to guess, at most 3 or so crashes in over 100 hours, not enough for me to even remember). I'd rather be lucky in love, but, I'll take what I can get! ;D Still it's true, I didn't play NWN2 till about the time that Storm of Zehir came out, and New Vegas till close to the time the last expansion or 2 came out. So plenty of patches were in them by then. But, yeah no problems for me, and I don't have a top of the line machine either.

I do not diversify giving within a category. If a game within a genre does whatever it's supposed to do in an overwhelmingly awesome way, then it deserves money above and beyond the typical digital purchase deal, inferior games do not.

For example, and [url=http://arachnidtalks.blogspot.com/]College Ruled Universe are awesome within their respective genres, and I backed both. For the RPG experience, I have the Divinity bundle here and Leroux's NWN recommendations. Obsidian's selling point was supposed to be a "mature story", but I've got that covered, too.

Steam only at the beginning was a sign of disrespect to the community: they asked for money so that they wouldn't have to answer to third party, but that was exactly what they wanted to impose on the backers. When they couldn't reply whether the DISK would be DRM-free, I backed off, mostly because I was disgusted with myself for having been overexcited and irrational.

Definitely option 7.

Because they're not making Alpha Protocol 2.

I didn't back the game because it looked to much like Baldurs Gate. And the world really don't need a game like this.

However, I gave them wad of money (the biggest pledge I ever did, actually) for them simply being Obsidian.

Because I don't trust Obsidian enough to give them 20 bucks a year and a half in advance. I don't even think they'll release the game without delays...

I didn't because,.... oh wait... I did :)

Because generic-looking medieval-fantasy RPGs aren't worth my money.

I'm inclined to agree, yet I'm hoping that this is just a false impression (like Spec ops being just another shooter). Otherwise this would be my second biggest gaming mistake. But I trust Obsidian.

Curious, what was the first?

You got a pm, because I really don't want to get into another discussion about it.

K, appreciated.
