$125 is a bit high but feelies are good and I could always use anither stein...
I'd be happy with a few more digital goods. I'm not that greedy.
Yeah, can't argue with that. I do feel like they skimped a bit at the lower digital tiers. Suprised there isn't something simple like an adventurer's pack with a skin and an item. Not that they needed it, but it would've been nice.

Went in for two copies of the game for $50

Original Sin is the best non blizzard game I played this decade, so I backed this one without thinking twice(for 125$,can't pass on all those physical goodies)
They play more like Ultima and less like infinity engine. But, you should still back it.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Yeah, you're probably right. Backed.
Yea stretch goals come when the goal is hit or about to be hit generally.
They might want to get on that, as this sucker is flying.

Aha, makes sense really.
And yeah. I'm guessing this game will be one of the best funded games ever on kickstarter given how superb the first one is

I assumed the first one was extremely successful... why couldn't they use the money from that to fund the sequel?
They are. They have a budget in mind already, but want additional funds to make it even better.. They want community feedback as well so kickstarter makes sense.
It was, and they are. The Kickstarter is to expand the scope of the game well beyond their means. It worked similarly for the first game too.

Surprised that they are kickstarting this game, given how well the first Original Sin sold. According to Steam Spy it sold an estimated 852,859 copies on Steam alone. I'm sure it has a high number on GOG as well.But I guess if the money goes for helping them finish the game, then sure.

Hrm. Well, if nothing else, I suppose the one benefit of preordering the game beyond supporting some kind of expanding scope is getting the game at half price.
They are and the answer as to why they return to kickstarter is right in the OP
Time to set up a running tally of how many times this is going to be posted.
Hahahahaha!
Also, I'm torn between the $25 and $125 collector's edition.

25 bucks? Sure, why the hell not! The original is superb and for 25 bones I'm confident Larian will produce a great sequel.

I really liked the first game but thought the way it implemented co op was dog shit
When we went to the weirdo dimension thing with the little goblin (first town so I dont think its really spoilers), it's a bunch of her going through dialogue options while I have to just eyeball it all in the chat log and stand around until she's done
and that motherfucker talks A LOT

They are. This is for additional funds.

I missed out on backing the first. That situation has been rectified.

A later patch made it so you could read them along in your own dialogue box.

In for $25. Maybe that'll go up for the collector's edition, but for now I'm happy to know I did my part to make D:OS2 happen.

Why should they do that? What would stop them from doing both?
The game is basically finished. It has a release date.

They're already throwing their own money into the game, just like they did with D:OS 1.

I don't know.. Maybe more people would pledge for the sequel after they have played the first one? Just a maybe..
Enhanced Edition is coming to consoles too so I think they messed up a little, but whatever I'm sure they'll hit the target anyway.
I just know that I won't pledge for game sequel I haven't even played yet, would assume lots of people are the same.

Its not even in development for consoles (yet). Original Sin was originally a PC ass PC game and thats who they targeted for the first release. So it makes sense that they're dipping back into that well for the sequel. And now that they've gotten all this praise from their first game this game will probably do even better.
I'm willing to bet Larian know what they're doing with this.
Why bother posting them until they know what kind of money to expect from the campaign? You will absolutely see them when they approach the goal.
