Or jacuzzi? Every adventurer needs a jacuzzi after a dungeon crawl.

Na I am waiting for the outside Christmas lights package before I drive into it.

I played the last release....it is looking quite good in game....not much in the way of a game yet but the areas look quite neat.

I'm not sure if you are capable, but if you don't want something don't buy it...I don't....if they can make extra to develop by having someone buy a birdbath hell I'm ok with it.

But they will use birdbath money to design jacuzzi... It's almost a year and a half since kickstarter ended and, s you have said yourself, not much in the way of a game.

Um no....not much in concerns to a cognitive fully playable quests and everything in...however they do have advancement with levels and combat system is in....all housing is in....many areas and overland map working....it has come a very long way in a year. I played the original r1 and then r10...light years difference.

I guess I wasn't detailed in the fact you can't really play it from start to finish but it is developing. The graphics have come a long way...I was in an area(can't remember the name) that had a ton of undead and it was on some cliffs with water and fog...it looked great.....

do you honestly think they need a ton of money to develop a simple 3d object that someone spends money on? Probably takes them all of a couple hours and I bet many of them do it on their own time.

They had a really cool little dungeon they added to test a couple functions with the engine for mining and creatures. They have numerous cities in now....I'm still waiting to see how they will populate it so it doesn't feel empty without other players there.

Combat system is different and I find it actually quite interesting, setting up skills in a deck to give you a more interesting combinations.

It is coming, it just is a very ambitious project.

Well I haven't bought and can't see myself buying it. This is a shame as I was really hoping to see something better out of LB. I even enjoyed U9, but just seems to be him and his close buddies messing around because they can.

As for buying a bird bath or whatever they offer, if that is what people want to do with their money so be it. I just can't believe after this long they are still trying to pry money out of people for a game that seems to be going no where.

The taste of 'bait n' switch' has never really left my mouth since the Kickstarter ended. Still, I'm holding out that this game will still offer a fun single player experience. I try not watch or read anything about this game because every time I do, a little bit of that hope-for-a-fun-single-player-experience dies.

I really don't like their updates. Compared to Larian's updates for D:OS, they are convoluted, messy, take too much time to digest, and always manage to have this cheesy Saturday morning cartoon vibe of, 'Hey KIDS... you can buy this X for the low low price of $Y... but wait! There's more...'

Anyway, I'm still hoping for the best but thankfully have D:OS in my hands to satiate that old U7 hunger I have.

You chose to ignore the rest of what I wrote. It is going somewhere, you haven't followed with what they are doing.

I've backed this, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll wait until they're a bit closer to actually being done.
