Obsidian unveils Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire with a crowdfunding campaign

RPG guru Josh Sawyer is busy these days. Yesterday we wrote about Francis Ford Coppola's studio turning Apocalypse Now into a video game with Sawyer's help. After a week of very obvious teasing, Obsidian's officially announcing a follow-up to its acclaimed Infinity Engine-style CRPG Pillars of Eternity, on which Josh Sawyer served as lead designer. Titled Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, it's also embarking on a crowdfunding campaign today. Obsidian's hoping to raise $1.1 million through Fig--no surprise there, since Obsidian's CEO Feargus Urquhart is involved in Fig's advisory board.
