"wondering around" - I think you must mean wandering?

Quoting: barottoSo Valve was just waiting for Vulkan to arrive on our linux boxes...I think this plays a core role here.

I seriously got goosebumps on my arms when I read this. Not exaggerating one bit - chills went all over like an electric spiderweb.
I. CAN. NOT. WAIT!

Aren't those X3 games to be counted as "4x" too?

Thank you so much that you take your time to explain how things work "behind the scenes" in regards to the publishing rights etc. These are questions I've always wondered about.
Thanks again!

Only exception is for multiplayer exploration-based games, in order to provide new maps to explore. Example: Procedural maps in Seven Days To Die. Once you know where everything is in the hand-crafted one the exploration bit dies.

Quoting: KeyrockThey lost me at "Procedural Universe". 2016 is the year procedural generation officially entered the negative category.Very much agreed. It's becoming a synonym for "can't be arsed with designing large enough play fields".

Quoting: StebsUpdate2: Just finished the download, they added the option to show a game launcher in this version.Class act, Stebs. Thanks for taking the time to assist me with the elaborate reply, and also thanks a lot for updating when discovering the launcher setting.
In the game launcher, using GLCore is a simple setting, so the "old" way below is not needed anymore...

I'm in it for the story and the characters, to enjoy a RPG universe and be my characters. Exploration, decisions, shaping character(s), explosive action, fantastic abilities, skill trees, storyline, intrigues - that's RPG to me.
Having the entire game freeze on me and transform into a chess game whenever action (could) appear just rips me totally out of the setting. All of a sudden it's a strategy game with pieces on a board. Your characters are just pawns.
And to your first statement: I don't object that some of you enjoy it. Not one bit. I do not ask for a termination of the genre. I'm all for diversity.
What I'm saying is just that it's such an enormous imbalance between TB and RT in indie rpgs. And since we on the Linux platform pretty much are left for the indies to cater to, I find it really annoying.
But most of all, why? It's not like action RPGs don't sell!

Quoting: whm1974Because some of us enjoy turn based combat. And like Mountain Man said, The games are better.The last statement is obviously subjective, it's all depending on what you're after.

I purchased this one to play with a Windows friend just a few weeks ago, but was really put off by the graphics. I expected at least Fallout 3 level visuals. That's the impression I get from the videos.
But I'll give it another go now with that new GLCore renderer! How do I choose it? A setting in the game?
