Pillars of Eternity pre-orders open with 10 percent discount
It won't arrive until early 2015, but those still interested in Obsidian's crowdfunded roleplaying epic Pillars of Eternity can now pre-order the game from a number of online retailers.
A visit to the game's website reveals two versions of Pillars of Eternity currently on offer: the $45 Hero Edition and the $60 Champion Edition. The former includes the game along with two "mystery items," while the latter features everything found in the Hero Edition as well as a digital almanac, map and soundtrack, ringtones, wallpapers and a "making of" documentary. As extra incentive, Paradox is currently offering a 10 percent discount on Pillars of Eternity for anyone who pre-orders either version of the game before November 24.
If you're still on the fence about Pillars of Eternity, Paradox and Obsidian hope to push you over the edge with an upcoming Twitch stream hosted by project director Josh Sawyer where the developers plan to "reveal a wide array of never-before-seen game content." The stream starts on November 13 at 4PM ET, and you can catch the entire thing on the Paradox Interactive Twitch channel.

Funded via Kickstarter in late 2012, raising $4.5 million through both backer pledges on Kickstarter and Obsidian's own website, Pillars of Eternity has been a project of passion both for the development team and for the loyal fans who have made it possible.
