Agh, that doesn't bode well at all.

Even Silent Storm was one sloppy piece of software.

Last two titles they worked on are crappy MMOs.

So basically they got plenty of experience making games similar to what they are making now. We just hope this time it is going to be of bigger production quality (although HoMM V was fun and of decent production quality).

Silent Storm is pretty solid credentials in my book, probably the best game of its sort since JA2.

I thought about pledging, but I'm going to hold off for now. I've never played the Pathfinder PnP game, but it looks extremely derivative of D&D.
The thing that gives me pause about this though is the art style. It looks overly cartoony to me in both the monster design and color palette. It doesn't seem to be bothering anyone else, but I'm not a fan of that style at all.

I enjoyed Evil Islands quite a bit, but I think Avellone is highly overrated.

I'm not a big fan of art either but it doesn't bother me that much. I never pledge KS project though - I'm more of a "I will pay once I see the end product" person.

"… thing about Morrowind is we did far more than we could, far less polished than we should. It's a miracle that it works at all… there's too much, and it's like jazz… a product like Oblivion - far better software… but Morrowind… oh there's so much delicious nonsense in that." ~ words of wisdom by K.Rolston

I'm having a sword coast legends flashback. Great rule set and setting but poor dev talent. I'm holding out hope but we will see. Why are the D&D and Pathfinder licenses going to these relatively obscure dev / publisher teams?
