Tagged with no other input except that I'm liking what I'm seeing.
I enjoyed the first game quite a bit, so I am definitely going to keep my eyes on this one.
I've been jonesing for something like this for some time now. I am still leery about picking it up given my schedule, but this looks so good!

Nice. I'd sign up if I knew I'd actually play it.

That's great news, I'm really looking forward to this!
October 28. Very nice. Very nice indeed.
Yes!
What is this about a Liir/Morrigi Race Pack DLC if we pre-order? Aren't they core races that everyone should get?

Pre-order Sword of the Stars II Lords of Winter and get Liir/Morrigi Race Pack DLC FREE
That's ... surprising to me.
Edit: On the forums someone was saying that it's skins and perhaps some audio.
Edit: Edit: Confirmed, just skin packs.
I actually hope they figure out how to do some good DLC with this game. They deserve the extra cash, and the game could be more fun with little DLC touches.
Like hats for the Suul'ka.
SotS 1 Complete is also on sale for $5 as a promotion.

Yeah, pre-ordered SotS2. Because I am a giant tool. Like always.

But a useful one. Preordering as well from Steam.
Are you still a tool if it's an indie developer? Maybe it makes you hip or something?

Sale lasts until Oct 28... funny.
Apparently I've decided that this will be the strategy game I invest my time into for the next 6 months - 1 year. I pre-ordered.

Well, in this case I think it makes me a giant sentient alien tool from before the dawn of time.

This I can support.
Any sort of preview/review content anyone know about? Anyone playing in the beta with some some Non-NDA breaking thoughts?
Heh. Can't wait until Friday to hear more?
Well, you know, it's such a slow time for releases. Can you blame him for wanting a bit of info about anything?
In all seriousness, I think SotS2 is going to go under the radar with some other games like Stronghold 3. I'm already planning for the first Steam sale as being the "true" release that will actually get peoples' attention.

Well, for people like me who don't care about sequels to shooters, SOTS2 is definitely front and center on the radar right now.
Was checking GamersGate this morning and saw what I thought was my key. Instead it was my key for the "Immersion Pack"
Got all excited there for a second.
