Crosmando: Same deal with Wasteland 3, using this instead of Kickstarter is a bad idea, less publicity, less people pledging because of unfamilarity with fig and reluctance to sign up there, this won't get as much as PoE did.
Yeah, it's going to be a pain in the ass to sign up on yet another platform...but eh. $5 discount haha

And it's just been funded.

227: so there were for example some raised eyebrows when Psychonauts 2 had its campaign silently extended (supposedly it was a bug or something that got fixed mid-campaign, but it didn't look good regardless).
Do they take money upfront?

(edit: I can't open the page, something something scripts)

Frozen: Kickstarter of the first PoE left me with the basic version of the game without the option to upgrade.

Titanium: Wait, but there was the option to upgrade.
If you mean the ability to upgrade your pledge some time after the Kickstarter campaign ended, then yes - I heard there was the option. Unfortunately, I didn't know then.
The point is: Steam users can upgrade anytime, GOG users can't and I'm still bitter about this.

Niggles: Anyone backed anything on that platform?
Yes, Wasteland 3. Customer service was very responsive when I contacted them in regard to changing a reward extra.

Did you directly contact Paradox to inform them that you would like upgrade options to be available on GOG or did you just complain on the GOG and/or Obsidian forums like everyone else?

Alm888: In their recent post in the comments section Obsidian implied there will be some sort of PoE1 backer discount system.
Yesterday I received an e-mail with a link for a $5 discount which I successfully used on the Premium Digital tier.

Wasteland 3 raised 13% over it's base goal of $2.75 million. Pillars of Eternity II raised it's base goal in just under 24 hours with another 28 days still to go. I don't think Pillars of Eternity II is going to suffer much, if at all, because it's fund raising on Fig instead of Kickstarter.

Dzsono: I agree, it's tough not being able to read in your native tongue when there is so much text. Out of curiosity, would you buy it if all English text had audio?
I actually prefer English text to audio. I still understand it , but if I can read a text I can avoid strange pronunciation due to local accents or something like that (also the speed of the audio may be a problem).
I always activate subtitles for that reason (even if there is only english). I'm also used to subtitles thanks to anime (I can read fast if I need to do it).
But I still find really difficult to do it when I'm tired. If I want to play a game I want to relax, that's why I always try to play in my native tongue.

When I cannot do that I try to play when I'm not tired, but when I buy a game like Shadowrun Dragonfall (with lots of text) if there is no italian I always wait for a sale with a really low price.

Of course English audio + text is better than English text only. But if I have to choose between English audio and italian text I choose italian text.

I contacted them directly and they pretty much ignored me.

Game's got over 2.3 million in pledges and 21000 backers already!

Next Stretch Goal at 2.4m - In addition to localizing Pillars II into Korean, we plan on having additional voice-over audio into Pillars II for a variety of characters, both adding voices to some previously unvoiced characters, and expanding voice sets for characters with already limited voices.
And we're getting an island chain instead of a stronghold this time!

Explore the sights, sounds, and smells of the Deadfire with Fulvano's guide to the archipelago. Fulvano's Voyage is our new, backer-unlockable Island Chain that players can visit and explore, and which grows along with the number of backers we get! For every 1,500 additional backers from today, we are adding or expanding another leg in Fulvano's voyage. Spread the word about Pillars of Eternity II and let's see how many islands we can add!

Finally backed the game! Two and a half days to go!
Posted February 22, 2017
I'm not sure if I'm sad or glad that I don't have any money nor a credit card because I'm quite tempted to pledge.
Posted February 22, 2017
There was talk of alternative backing via PayPal to be enabled later today.
Non-Fig pledges are supposed to count towards stretch goals and funding in general whether PayPal goes live today or not anyway.

One day to go and new stretch goals!!! We're well on our way to the $3.75 million one!!!
And paypal will also be up, hopefully soon enough!

$3.5 million - NEW SHIP UPGRADES & PORTUGUESE - We would like to have more ship upgrades and customization options types, including more hull, sail, and flag options. In addition, we are going to add upgradable rooms below deck including a trophy room to display your treasures and well as pet menagerie for all your animal friends to hang out and party. This also adds options to pick your own colors for sails and flags! Plus, we're continuing our commitment to localize Pillars II in more languages by including Brazilian Portuguese!

$3.75 million - UNCHARTED ISLANDS & SIMPLIFIED CHINESE - Make the world larger with the Uncharted Island stretch goal. The uncharted island feature adds many more locations to the world map for you to discover and map,expanding the world and game. These islands have special events, quests, and treasures for you to discover using the scripted interaction system. Some of them might include unique special events, including dungeons or quests. After you discover an island, you can even name it to make it your own! And, we'll add Simplified Chinese localization, too!

$4 million - NEW PLAYER SHIP TYPES - You want something awesome!? We will add other ships that you can find, purchase, or even steal during your adventure. These other ships will be docked in a special harbor location. Get yourself a Vailian Galleon or a Rauatai Warship - and customize it to make it your own.

...?

...?

$5 million - YDWIN BECOMES A COMPANION - You asked for this, now help us make it a reality! We will take Ydwin the Pale Elf from sidekick to full-on 8th companion for the game, adding a full vision quest, companion relationship, and story interactions to her (and, of course, if we hit this goal, we will add another sidekick to replace her so we still have four sidekicks, too!). Adding companions is a huge expense and design undertaking, but if we can get to $5 M, the team feels sure we can do it!

Of course, if we get to $4 million, we'll have some new stretch goals to include between $4 M and $5 to keep things even more interesting! Let's see what we can get in the next couple of days. Thanks to everyone for your support, and we look forward to closing out Pillars II's campaign with a bang!
