    I decided to go in at $75. I'll probably add to the pledge to get the add-on item.

    Backed ascendant at the start and have added my $5 for the add-on shield, bought the shield on SOTA already...

    Loved underworld when it was first released it was an amazing game for its time. Plenty of modern RPG games could still learn from it.

    Add $5 to your pledge for UA. You'll note the additional $5 is for the buckler in the survey after the KickStarter. That's how add-ons have been handled in the KickStarters I've supported in the past.

    Come on guys! It's only $25 for a digital copy. If half of the SOTA single player pledgers got on board for Underworld Ascendant we could meet all out stretch goals. The devs promise the graphics are going to be much better than than in the kickstarter promotional video. And anyone who was around in the 90's knows the epic work performed by these devs at Looking Glass Studios.

    I just got a new message from them, and I quote...
    That struck a cord with me because I spent a great deal of time as a Tank and also a Healer. Being a Tank was challenging because if only one person in a group HAD to know the fight it is the Tank. In that roll, a self-measure of success was that all members must not die, including the ass-hat mages that would draw aggro before you could and then ***** to no end that did you not hold it.

    Granted, I realize that UA is not an MMO, but that comment defies what I know about my style of gaming. Overall, the only satisfaction in Tanking 99% of the time was literally "patting yourself on the back."

    Just saying...

    In single player fantasy RPG's, it is often required to raise the intelligence stat of the Mage in order to successfully cast the better spells. Perhaps this is what they are referring to?
    Also, to win as a Mage (in single player) is usually tougher and requires a lot more creative thinking.

    Backed it at...what else...Avatar level! :)

    Currently not enticed enough to go higher...they need to sweeten the deals a bit more since you're now upgrading in the 100's rather than the 10's.

    Aye, I messaged them about the add ons when they introduced the buckler. You just add $5 in addition to your pledge and at the end of Kickstarter they will send a survey asking you which add ons you want and get the information they need from your, I'm guessing email associated with Portalarium and then they'll relay it to Portalarium so your shield will glow in SoTA.

    I know its a long shot in 4 days, but I've seen Kickstarter campaign bring in a lot of money in their last 2 or 3 days. I'm hoping for this as well since Lizardmen were in UW1.

    I just check out their KS page yesterday and it looks badass! Glad Shroud was pimping them on their own site or I might have missed this one... Had to cough up a few $$ to back it. Can there be such a thing as TOO many good games coming out? With RGP's it seems like feast or famine lol.
