Ha, I hadn't noticed that! Thanks, that's awesome! Just have to set up Lutris on this brandnew install. Goodness, I have to stop distro-hopping.

Quoting: sourpuzI'd love to play Arcanum, but it's not easy to set up on a modern PC, even on Windows.
I haven't tried them myself (yet), but Lutris has Wine install scripts for the GOG version or Arcanum and its essential patches here [External Link]. Should be worth a try.
You're right, it works. The resolution is usually the problem. There is a fan-made patch, but I'm not sure whether it runs on Linux. Or better, how to install it. And I'm notoriously wary of downloading patches from dark corners of the web :)

Sounds quite relaxing!

Just returned from a visit to the family and I'm somehow in the mood for some classic rpg goodness. But I'm not sure yet what might scratch that itch. I'd love to play Arcanum, but it's not easy to set up on a modern PC, even on Windows.

I had the itch to do some old-school shooting, so I played some F.E.A.R via Lutris. I've also completed the Hearts of Stone-DLC for Witcher 3. It's a bit meh. It's an interesting story, but I kinda feel they could have done more with it.

Ha, I completed TW2 before my playthrough as well, though I chose Roche's path. Very nice game, in spite of its issues (I think the controls are less than perfect and found the difficulty very inconsistent). Joseph Anderson over on YouTube is doing an amazing retrospective on the Witcher games. He's completed the videos on Witcher 1 and 2 and he's extremely thorough (the second part is more than five hours long!). I heartily recommend a watch, but only after you have finished the respective game, of course!

Not yet, I think I'm in the middle of HoS and have begun B&W. Both seem very nice and I'm still surprised how flawlessly the game runs via Proton/Steam Play.:woot:

Did you finish both expansions? Feel free to discuss the game in the dedicated thread.
