FAQ
Q: Are pre-order funds going towards the funding of sctretch goals?
A: Yes! All funds gathered during our crowdfunding campaign, be it via Kickstarter or the backer portal, will be used for the development of Pathfinder: Kingmaker and will be counted to unlock stretch goals.
Q: Why is the backer portal using the term 'pre-order' instead of 'pledge'?
A: Unlike making a pledge on Kickstarter, supporting us on the backer portal via PayPal or PSC means your money is transferred immediately. Legally, this is considered a pre-order, because you don't just pledge to support us - you pay right away.
Q: I have made a pledge that includes boxed edition of the game that have to be delivered. Can I still play the game from Day 1?
A: Purchases of the physical box copy will receive their digital access code both in the box and within an e-mail on release day (it is the same code). You can download your digital copy of the game and start playing as soon as the game is available.
Q: I want the boxed edition but I have no intention of unwrapping it. Can I still play the game?
A: Purchases of the physical box copy will receive their digital access code both in the box and within an e-mail on release day (it is the same code). You will not have to open the box at all just to play the game.
Q: How do I choose the size of T-shirt, hoodie, or any other stuff that should be sized up?

Q: Where do I choose Steam, GoG or game portal download?
A: You will get an e-mail with a link to the Pathfinder: Kingmaker backer portal when the campaign is over. On the site, you will be able to confirm your pledge and choose on which platform you would like to get Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
