We had some questions about posting on Obsidian's Project Eternity earlier, but it's really not in our scope. Still, if somehow you never heard of it: Obsidian is doing a Kickstarter for an Infinity Engine-inspired RPG under the lead of New Vegas frontman J.E. Sawyer. There's 7 more days to go, so leap in if it sounds good.
Reason I'm posting on it now is that in the latest update they revealed they're joining Kicking It Forward, and also got a deal in place with inXile to have a high-tier digital package at $165 which, among many other things, gets you a free copy of Wasteland 2, and to add the Wasteland 2 copy as a bonus to all tiers above $165.<blockquote>With only seven days left on the Project Eternity Kickstarter, we want to start the last week off with some pretty incredible things to announce. You might not know that Brian Fargo is the guy who gave many of us our start in the games industry at Interplay – myself (Feargus), Josh Sawyer, Chris Avellone, Scott Everts, Brian Menze, Chris Jones, Chris Parker, Darren Monahan – and the list keeps on going from there. He also gave the guys who started a little company called Silicon & Synapse their first few projects – pretty crazy to think that little company is now Blizzard Entertainment.
Personally, we are incredibly thankful to him and for the second wave of Kickstarter attention he brought with Wasteland 2. But, Brian hasn’t stopped being the great guy that he is, and so, he’s helping us out by letting us add Wasteland 2 as a reward at our higher tiers. So, what tiers will that be? A lot of you have asked for a digital tier after $110, so we are adding a $165 Digital Only Tier. That means Wasteland 2 will get added to this new $165 tier and all the tiers above.</blockquote><center>
