I backed it. Not a huge amount but I have lost any interest in AAA games. I like Avellone's work, and if he is still not interested in romances, I would assume he will not be in charge of that aspect of the game. He may very well want to steer clear of them but if the market demands romances, he'll probably grit his teeth and look the other way.

I was considering backing it but still wondering about that whole 28$ thing  |

Thanks for the link, but I know ppl who make this game personally and their ideas aren't exactly brand new.

Thought it would be interesting to know your opinion on their UI design and such It's... ok? I'm not a UI person, we have a bunch of educated people for dealing with it so I only can post my personal impressions as a person. It's pretty standard for many small Russian-made games, sometimes it looks cool, sometimes it looks "pls stop", sometimes it's obvious from where they stole it. |

I'm not hyped for the game like I used to be, but are you saying you're not anticipating it will be any good? Or just not completely original? I have some faith that Avellone is involved, but I don't really get hyped for games anymore. I'm too old for that shit. |

I have some faith that Avellone is involved, but I don't really get hyped for games anymore. I'm too old for that shit. I know some of them and I just don't expect anything "WOW". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But: I think I need to clarify this moment, I know some of them from the tech side. And I don't expect anything "WOW" from their combat system and things like it. Have zero idea about story and art because I barely keep in touch with people that... Engrish is hard, you know? So: if a person and I work at the same time at one project but he/she/they/potato works on a story or art and boss won't require a close contact, I have a pretty high chance of forgetting how they're called, not to talk about "know where they are now". So story or art related it can be pretty good, I dunno. I can ask around if you're interested, somebody with a better memory might know them. |

Good UI is always nice but as long as the story and characters are interesting I can usually muddle through neutral or poor UI. That's really what I'm interested in, and why Avellone's involvement gives me some hope. |

TBH I don't want them to have all of these stretch goals, as I feel like they will overcommit and end up not spending as much effort on things like the goblin companion or archetypes or what have you. I know it's a business model to promise stretch goals, but I've seen in other games where the additional content is usually a bit lower quality than the rest of the game. I want Owlcat to be able to spend as much time polishing the game as possible instead of continually adding content. It's similar to open world games that think lots of shallow content is better than a smaller world with more detail. Hopefully I'm just overanxious about this! |

I'm glad more of the stretch goals were met and funded. I was unable to contribute myself, but I will keep an eye on it. It looks wonderful so far and can only be helped by Inon Zur's talent. ...I won't lie though I am mostly curious about how deep the romance system is and who the gay options are.  I also really like the idea they have for camping and I am interested in seeing how that plays out. One of my favorite things about Dragon Age Origins is going back to camp and talking to everyone with that beautiful music in the background. It was perfect. |

Much love right back at ya!
