We have a new Patch Beta available for you all to play and check out. Not only that, we're running a competition over on our forums! We're looking for the most awesome feedback around with this beta and are offering up some Obsidian swag boxes for the three people who really impress us with their feedback.

And that's the list! We want to thank you all for your love and support of Pillars of Eternity from the inception of the Kickstarter in 2012 through to the release back in March of 2015 and up until today. Crazy to think that the game has already been out for a year and a half now. Time flies.
You are all incredible and we look forward to bringing more adventure to you real soon!
Oh! And don't forget that contest! We want your feedback and we know you'll help make Pillars all the better just as you have the entire way.
Have a glorious day,
-Mikey Dowling
