Wasteland 2 - Name change, Video and Perks

Also the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter gotten an update today, which mentions the same extras you get for pledging enough to The Bard's Tale Kickstarter, but also brings us news on the name change of the Game of the Year Edition to Director's Cut, including an accompanying video.

In addition this update brings information on the new perks.

Perks, unlike Quirks, are gained as you level up your characters. As you progress in the game you will earn Perk Points, which you can spend on Perks whenever you wish. Perks are per-character bonus you pick, and unlike Quirks, they are always positive stat and gameplay adjustments. Right now, we have it set up so that you gain a new Perk Point every 3 levels, though we're currently playing through the game balancing things out, so the rate you earn Perk Points may change by final release. Perks also have Skill requirements to unlock – for instance, you might need 3 in Toaster Repair, or 7 in Assault Rifles, with more useful or powerful Perks typically at higher Skill requirements.

The update also has news about an upcoming Kickstarter for a Wasteland 2 styled playing card deck and some images from E3.
