I see Stellaris is 60% off on Steam right now.  Without reading through 77 pages here, I assume the general consensus is that you guys would give it a thumbs up now?  What about the Utopia expansion as that is half off now too?  That is getting mixed reviews on Steam.  Thanks.

Insert witty comment here.

It sounds like there will be so many changes in 2.0 that it's probably not worth starting a new game until that releases.  Anyone know if there will be new tutorials?

Good overview of new and changed features in upcoming 2.0 update:



Also, there is an overview of new things in Apocalypse DLC:

The 2.0 Cherryh patch has been released, 499.1 MB.  That does not include the Apocalypse DLC, which I haven't purchased yet.

^According to Steam, it does include the Apocalypse DLC if you bought it.

Ok, I took a few minutes to load a game. 

When you launch Stellaris there is a pop up after the initial load outlining the major changes.  It also provides a link on how to continue playing games prior to 2.0.

The game setup screen has a lot more options, including when mid and late game crisis starts and the cost of tech.  For fun, I ran tech up to 5x, and started a game.  The cheapest starting tech that I had to choose from was 2500!

Cannot wait until I can get a chance to really sit down with this.

I can't wait either...I'm so upset I'm going away this weekend for my anniversary with the Mrs. You guys think she may agree to change plans so I can stay home and play?  :uglystupid2:

I want the new dlc but the $20.00 cost is disappointing. I'm not saying it isn't fair, it's just that my game-funds are limited. Will probably wait for the next round of sales.

My first reaction was also that the price may be a little high. $14.99 would probably have been the sweet spot.
