Pledged as soon as I heard about the project. The team is talented and experienced. The updates have been regular and high-quality. If you are on the fence, I suggest going for it.

I am quite convinced that OwlCats deserves every dollar they can get to make this the best CRPG they can make. I've already pledged and it would be amazing to see them make their next stretch goal and add that extra (high-level) chapter.

Do it for the Archetypes!
Is the game still going to be made where we can only make one character (and thus have to rely on NPC's completely for our party makeup instead of making four PC's for ourselves)? I hope not.

The intent of the game is to be a single player game where the NPCs are part of the experience. Yet except for the classes, feats and skills the NPCs already have when you meet them, you can select how they will level up afterward. Thus giving you a form of control over the abilities of the NPCs.
Developers haven't ruled out offering the possibility to create your own NPCs in the future, but they want first to focus on the single player experience with all the NPCs stories. (the same goes for multi-player, not ruled out, but not a priority either)
As far as I'm concerned, until I've went through the game at least a couple of times, I want to play with the included NPCs as there are so much to them to get bored in a single playthrough.
It's one of the reason why I preferred BG 1&2 over Icewind Dale

As long as that remains on the table of possibilities then I'm looking forward to it. I honestly wouldn't mind if I had to pay a little extra for a DLC update that allowed me the ability to create my own party (and possibly still add an NPC companion through the Leadership feat or something), just as long as I still had an option to do so.

I wouldn't mind either to have that option as a DLC, but I'm not expecting such a thing for the release of the game or in the months following the release.
I prefer to have them spend their time on creating a better story and to take their time to polish the game and have a virtually bug free release :)

First, our license with Obsidian already allows them to do other Adventure Paths. But an AP takes a whole lot of programming, and since they spent the last several months focusing on the desktop version, they wanted their next release to be something they release relatively quickly, so they're doing Rise of the Goblins next. If the desktop version and Rise of the Goblins are successful enough, they'll likely proceed to a new AP next (and we have already talked about what it might be).
Second, I can guarantee you that right now, everyone at Paizo and at Owlcat are hoping that Pathfinder: Kingmaker is received well enough that it becomes just the first of many. But let's see how this one goes first, shall we?
I'm confident that Kingmaker will be awesome. Mostly because it's freaking KINGMAKER! The stuff you can do in that AP is pretty limitless. *points to the kingmaker parts of this messageboard*
Unfortunately, "limitless" is very difficult to code.
