Addictive. Having Baldur's Gate flashbacks while playing it.

They nailed that feel of Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale/Neverwinter Nights. If that's your thing (it's mine) you'll more than likely like Pillars. If not, well, there's a donkey dick out there somewhere with your name on it. If you've never played this type of game before, Pillars is a good place to start.

Playing with 2 ciphers should probably be considered cheating.

A friend of mine, a harcore gamer, is very very satisfied and saying things like "better than Baldurīs Gate".

I'm getting more curious. I may check it as well.
Wish I had more time to.

I've only logged a few hours into it, but I'm loving it.  Thinking I'll be getting my daughter into it as well, who has been looking for RPG style games that have more "getting to kill things" in them.  I've also reloaded Baldur's Gate onto my machine for her, and am considering making her work her way through that storyline first.

I was enjoying it but I've been running into more and more quest scripting bugs which have started affecting my ability to enjoy the game. Give it a few months of patches and buy it on sale.

I preordered it before I knew of MajMals involvement. Then I realized it had no fucking ability for multiplayer. I am just glad my kickstarter payment was the bare minimum to get the game for free. Baldurs gate, baldurs gate 2? MULTIPLAYER. If anything I would say they were trying to go up against Planescape: Torment - no multiplayer. In which, they failed hard.

I cannot believe a game made around '98 was smart enough to throw in multiplayer, but 2015 release? What is multiplayer?

I beat it once, on normal, solo. Because fuck everyone else in the game. They deserved their violent ends since I could not have a friend join me.

Wait, what? MajMal was involved in PoE? If I'd known that I would have waited for a few years before buying it.

No wonder it's a fucking buggy mess no matter how many 500mb stealth patches they pump out.

No, MajMal was not involved in PoE.

He was involved in another game that was also funded by Kickstarter.

So, what's the verdict on this game?  Is it the second coming of BG2?  Or is it at least as fun as Icewind Dale?  Or should I just wait for the Sword Coast one that is coming?

That one I remember. They were promising the world using every single buzz word at their disposal and asking for about a tenth of what it would take to actually implement those aforementioned promises.

The kickstarter is probably not the only funding they received.  They probably had private investors who were looking for a show of interest prior to committing the serious money.  The kickstarter exceeding the goal by almost 50% will probably result in some investors feeling good about laying down serious coin since there is a clear audience for the game. 

If you think they plan to develop a game on $850k, then I think you missed the point of the kickstarter.

I'm enjoying PoE. Not quite the game BG 1 and 2, and Icewind Dale 1 and 2 were, but, it has the same feel and is fun. For the price I paid on kickstarter, was worth it Cheesy

Wow, you love me. There has been two big lag fixes in the past week. No, those are not going out with a hotfix. They are more wide ranging and take more time to test.
Of course every time you get like this, I keep wondering where your MMO is so I can play it. Obviously you know excatly how to piece one of these together. I can't keep apologizing a gazillion times for the back end tech and things people did on this game before I was even an employee. So one last time, yes some of the stuff from the before times sucks. Sorry about that. Yes we know, stop building new systems. Yes we know, finish the ones out there. Yes we know you hate bards.

And screw you for bringing up the laid off folks. That sucks every time. I made sure all my people landed in other jobs real quick. None of my 'casualties' are unemployed, just sadly not employed by Turbine. Every business goes through this.Even Valve has layoffs. It sucks every time. If you haven't had to do it then you just don't know. Picking people and knowing you are about to turn their life upside down is terrible, every time.
Not giving a bleep. No, I stop listening when the bile starts. Not worth my sanity. You know my rule, treat me like a human and I'll do the same back. When the rage train starts...cya.
So here is my peace out of the vault for a while. Thanks for the list Ranger, that was actually clear and helpful.

I played throught it from start til end with all quests and special tasks completed. (thats how much i enjoyed it, tho you need to download patch first to fix some issues, get sorting etc)
Game has a odd approach to building characters /put simply con is dump stat in the game so for builders it might be interesting to find out min/max way to make your group.
Premade characters you get are all garbage, but they fixed that issue in newest patch.
I played with em since i liked some of those lunatics

As a oldie who still has baldurs and icewind standing beside  my pc il say that i truly enjoyed this game.
Story is good, gameplay is great and you get a nice challenge for the first playtrhough on path of damned /is hardest difficulty, some fights in particual are extra fun.
Best fun (spoiler) was when i talked to adra dragon totally underleveled and undergeared at path of nua lv 15, i have this option checkd to autopause game when combat starts, so this is a screenie what happend:
http://postimg.org/image/ifmz2b3j1/

I raped her later on with proper tactics tho, but to be honest, game is really truly good, if you like baldurs/icewinds i will strongly suggest to play it and enjoy it.
Also tides coming out this year, cant wait to get mah copy as i pledged for it the moment they announced
