Quite interesting!
Out of GDC yesterday:
"Obsidian Entertainment, the developer ofFallout: New Vegas and South Park: The Stick of Truth, today announced that they are entering into a partnership with Paradox Interactive to launch their upcoming role-playing game (RPG), Pillars of Eternity.
Pillars of Eternity, an RPG inspired by classic titles such as Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, andPlanescape: Torment, was funded via Kickstarter in late 2012, raising $4.5 million through both backer pledges on Kickstarter and Obsidian’s own website. Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment, stated that every dollar raised through the crowdfunding campaign will be spent solely on the game’s development."
