I played it for a while but lost interest thanks to all the bad manners. Also now a days there are plenty of games available for Linux to keep me preoccupied. :)

Quoting: Sslaxx
Quoting: neowiz73haven't played skyrim in awhile, after a couple hundred hours played I feel i've done everything. Although if I can play it on Linux that would be cool. Might have to buy some expansions for it then. Although the idea of something new and different would be really nice.
Skyrim? On Linux? Are those pigs I see flying overhead?

More likely to be Evolve or Darksiders 1 and/or 2.
Talking about pigs.. I just read one of their recent press releases and they mention that Skyrim sold over 20 million copies. Considering the 1% Linux market share and you get quite a large number. At some point we will hopefully see those pigs start crash landing.

Great review! It really captures the spirit of the game and the port. The only performance problem I have noticed was when lots of additional rooms have been added to your base and they are all visible during some animations. Luckily its not very often and only effects static events and never any critical moments during the game-play.

This actually looks kind of interesting and I've added it to my wishlist. If the bugs and performance issues gets the attention they deserves I will most likely buy myself a copy. Thanks for the review.

GOL GOTY Awards Are Over, Here's The Top 10 From Each Section
15 Jan 2015 at 1:35 pm UTC

      All games categories (open source, non-free). Editor decides additional special categories.
      Nomination: Everyone gets to nominate a game and also gets to to place a nominating vote for each game they like (multiple votes per person). Results from the voting and nominations are open and everyone can see the results during the process. At least one week before the voting ends the lists should be frozen and finalized (new games can no longer be added).
      Nomination process ends.
      The top number of most voted games gets selected for the next round. The number should be at least 10 but could be increased by an editor based on the statistics from the voting so all games worthy gets selected. Also if a game gets selected into a special category then it should automatically get selected in the "All games categories" as well. For the final vote the "All games categories" should now include the top 10 most voted games, plus additional games added based on statistics, plus additional games added from special categories.
      If properly motivated the editor could select additional games (or remove games).
      Final vote. Only one vote per person and category. Results from the voting process should be hidden which prevents popular votes.
      Final results are reviled. (The winners receives a small token).

How about doing another practice vote during the summer?
