We have ideas for these, but we want to hear your opinions on what <em>you&#8217;d<\/em> like to see. Stay tuned to Kickstarter, our website, and our forums to join in on the conversation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.4 million, New Playable Race, Class, and Companion!<\/strong><br \/>\nExpands your options for character creation and adds a companion of the new class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.6 million, a Mac Version of Project Eternity and The Story Grows!<\/strong><br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve listened and we\u2019ll make a Mac version of the game at this tier. We&#8217;re also going to add a new major storyline along with new quests, locations, NPCs, and unique loot (special histories everyone?).<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.8 million, New Playable Race, Class, and Companion!<\/strong><br \/>\nThe options grow for your main character and the roster of your motley crew expands with the addition of a new companion from the selected class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.0 million, Player House!<\/strong><br \/>\nGet your own house in the game that you can customize, store equipment in, and where your companions hang out, or, as the elves say, &#8220;chillax&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.2 million, a new Region, a new Faction and another new Companion! And, dare we say it&#8230; ? LINUX!<\/strong><br \/>\nGreat news, everyone! For the Tarball Knights of Gzippia out there, we&#8217;ll be adding Linux support!<br \/>\nAlso, the world of Project Eternity grows in a major way with the inclusion of a whole new faction and the territory it holds. This adds new NPCs, quests, magic items, and hours of gameplay. And yes, you got it, another companion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.4 million and beyond! Coming Soon<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been listening to your feedback, and have the following announcements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>DRM Free<\/strong>: We are looking into it! Please check back for updates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital Only Tiers<\/strong> are coming!<\/li>\n<li><strong>PayPal<\/strong> is coming asap. Please be patient!<\/li>\n<li><strong>New $5k Tier<\/strong>. We are looking into a new $5k tier since it sold out so quickly! We are looking into equivalent alternatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Did you give your backing to Project Eternity? Are you excited for a new Obsidian RPG?
