Pillars of Eternity Beta Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Eyeball]

If I buy this on GOG, do I get a Steam key? Don't wanna manually update my games anymore.

 

[Sensuki]

Nah you don't, it's one or the other.

GOG key redeemed, no download available yet.

Same for my GoG Royal Edition too.

 

[Mastermind]

There's no preload on gog, you'll have to wait for the actual release and probably a few hours when gog crashes from the heavy load.

Pre-load's over.

Now it's time to stare at the picture of the game for 30 hours.

35 hours.

 

[Morality Games]

Been waiting two years to see that icon on my desktop.

Pre-load's over.

I don't know how you people deal with it, I'm certainly in no jumping mood. I literally feel nauseous and sick. This anticipation is killing me.

It's especially annoying when you're a time travelling Australian and realise you don't get the game until the wee hours of friday morning.

Yeah. Well since there's no DRM to keep it locked on ours, I expect we won't be able to start downloading until release time.

My keys are here!!!!! Squeeeeeek!

One question though. I pledged for the 35 dollar level, which includes the digital collectors book and the soundtrack, but the eternity page says I got Hero edition, which AFAIK is the basic edition. What's up with that? badler ? Or these will be downloadable seperately from the Eternity site?

 

[Havoc]

ME AXE IS READY! Took a Steam version. Do the people with boxes have a spare copy? I don't remember.

I'm triggered. This has to be a joke.

EDIT: Okay, those aren't PoE portraits.

35 is a hero edition too http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71253-tiers-to-skus/

Oh, ok, cool!

 

[Grotesque]

Pillars of Eternity - Kickstarter Royal Edition: "Along with the base game, includes the Digital Campaign Almanac,[...] Digital Novella by Chris Avellone, [...] Digital Collector's Book, [...] Digital Strategy Guide."

If I preload on Steam now I will have access to all of these?
I'll be out of town at the release date and I wand to read these on the road and spare time.

 

[Cyberarmy]

My body is not ready but beers, snacks, junk food and PC are all ready. Send GF to a long "trip", told parrents to stay away.
Everything is perfect!

 

[Zed]

I have a fucking painter coming to paint my bathroom thursday and possibly also friday. Oh well.

So I can already access the game manual through Steam. Is there any other digital content already accessible?

 

[Sensuki]

Unfortunately the manual is basically useless.

 

[Fry]

So will my "DRM Free" collector's box have a key which is activatable on Steam or GOG, or is it a separate entity completely, with patches needing to be downloaded from Obsidian's website?

Wondering whether to activate my digital copy on Steam (for the preload & autopatching & DLC/expansion management) or GOG (for the DRM free download later).

badler ?

It's supposed to be a disc with an actual full game installer.

I asked awhile ago, and they said they'd probably be putting patches in the backer portal. Haven't seen an update on this recently.

Necroing myself...

Backer boxed copies all contain unprotected versions of the game. No Steam, SecuROM or anything else. If the planet is overrun by a zombie apocalypse, and you happen to live in Alexandria and have a modernish PC with a DVD-ROM drive, you'll still be able to play Eternity without any initial online connections! We will have loose patches available for this version once it's released too, that can be downloaded from our site.

 

[Havoc]

Uuu, nice.
