I think it looks very promising and I've already put down some dough for the boxed game and a t-shirt

They namedropped so many of my favourite games as their inspiration so I backed the project with 65$. Wish I had more money to spare though.

1,000,000$+ in under 24 hours is darn impressive. Guess there are some decent people out there after all.

Good luck making 3D RPGs on unfamilliar engines with publishers that won't let you Q&A properly. You'll always end up with a ton of unfixed bugs. Their most recent game, Dungeon Siege III, was practically bug free too.
Also, Betashed themselves are much worse.

Anyway, I upped my pledge to 160$ due to the recent flow of information. Mod support is fucking huge and they're not even making a big deal out of it.

Is this game going to be like Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights more than anything?
