Expanding The Lair
From now on, for every 1000 backers that we gain, the lair of the monster beneath Phantom Forest will become deeper and deeper. (This means, we start counting at 10'000 backers.) Or in the words of Jan, our writer extraordinaire:
"As you travel onward beyond the woods of Luculla, it doesn't take long to reach the outskirts of Phantom Forest: a vast, towering woodland shunned by almost all that lives. Once entered, a few steps suffice to be engulfed in absolute nocturnal darkness that even the eyes of a cat would have great difficulty in piercing. Armed with a torch one might proceed, but it requires an iron will not to turn and run in fright when beholding the torturously contorted grimaces that seem to slither through every coarsely barked trunk. Dead bodies hang from twisted branches, silent and still, for not even the winds dare penetrate the foreboding canopy of Phantom Forest."
Phantom Forest, not for the weak of heart...
"Neither do the forces of evil that threaten our heroes, for it is said that deep within its reaches a creature lurks that is so cruel the world knows not its like - not even the sinister Engineer that shall plague the Marked One centuries later can compare with the shadow that stalks this distorted wood. And yet, it is there that the key can be found to unravel an essential piece of lore of infinite value to those who seek to control the Source..."
The lair of this nightmarish beast is a labyrinth riddled with death, puzzles and mystery. It's up to you however, to decide just how extensive this lair will be. For every thousand extra backers that pledge from here on out, a new level full of pitfalls, threats and riddles will be added! YES YES YES I REALLY LOVE THIS ONE It reminds me of old good times in Beyond Oasis: The Story of Thor and its 100 floor dungeon (unspoken/secret quest for Fire Sword) or lovely Star Ocean series and its Cave of Trials labyrinth(s) (there was also 200 floor tower in So3, it was a blast to finish it) or FFX-2 and it's Infinite Dungeon. I really hope this potential bonus dungeon will grow up into something at last slightly decent as these I mentioned.

I actually really hope that the levels will be greatly varied and meaningfull with a bunch od interesting things, and not some random generic h&s dungeon with c/p levels and hordes of monsters.
Good examples are from Torment 2 and Eternity kickstarter campaigns.

And I'm reminded about the stories of Dwarf Fortress and what lurks in the deepest depths, when you dig too deep ... Of course, the lair needs to grow a bit more so it's actually deep. ;)Otherwise it needs to stretch a lot more to give a better sense of moving further and further down.

Yes, Paypal will be available for 2 weeks after the kickstarter ends. At least for now the add-ons are not available that way, though.

Hi; So, according to the Kickstarter information that was recently introduced, if we pledge, say, $40, and then, and I quote, Alpha Access for Divinity Original Sin: add $50 (includes beta access) add that $50 on top of that for a total of $90 pledge, $40 reward, how will it be known what our actual desires are? Is it some sort of additive measure? Will there be a user prompt? It seems very hands-off. Pardon my paranoia; I'm just amazed that there's something so complex on Larian's end and something so simple on our end. <(o o.)> Amazing, no? ^^.

There's a survey at the end of the KS campaign where you can specify what rewards you chose.

It is.
Larian have confirmed in the KS comments that they'll hold the PayPal open for as long as it takes Kickstarter to release their hold on the Kickstarter portion of the funds.

Ok, cool. I think that could be even more than two weeks, at least in my experience with other kickstarter projects....

Demonic; Larian did a bunch of playthroughs yesterday and today with various websites and Youtube personalities, and more stuff is coming, which should bring more exposure next week. Also, there is usually a spike at the end of a kickstarter, as some people upgrade their pledges or add add-ons, and those sitting on the fence decide to back or not, etc. Valhalla Welcome to the forum.
