Well, since crpg:s have always been my favorite type of game, I'll have to go with the bunch of well polished party-based crpg:s available: BG:EE 1&2, PoE, Tyranny, the Shadowrun-titles and a few others.

Sure, I love Dying Light, Stellaris, Civ V and several other prominent titles but without the bunch of role playing games mentioned above...staying on Linux would probably not be an option for me and I'd have to grudgingly crawl back to "spyware-r-us" operating system.

A little frustrating but for the moment I don't feel that there's much available for me to buy.

Still waiting for word on the port of "Everspace". Still hoping for a small release miracle from "Stasis" or "The Age of Decadence" or "Kathy Rain". I had hoped that "Civ VI" and "Shadow Warrior 2" would magically appear (like they were supposed to do on their original release date)

Then there's "Torment: ToN" that I would have pre-purchased if only they had the steamOS logo and linux sys-specs up on their steam page. Not to mention a dozen or so other game-titles that were once "promised" to have future linux ports.

Hmm...not sure if I should feel optimistic or pessimistic about this. I'd certainly *like* to be optimistic, but I've been burned far to many times when I've interpreted "Windows First-Linux Later", as some kind of guarantee.

Far too often it seems like that very approach from the developers, makes the liux version much less likely to occur (choosing incompatible middleware and whatever). Nope, I think I'll continue to regard the Linux-version as officially "scrapped", until there is something really concrete that says otherwise.

I've only played it for a little bit as well, yet I too feel pretty impressed by what I've seen so far; fast loading times, pretty graphics, lots of stealth & ninja-stuff to get into and the option to have all the audio in either japanese or english. (japanese voices provides the proper atmosphere, or so I feel)

I felt a little bit bad that I already had Tomb Raider from my windows days, so I couldn't "support the port", so to speak. I bought this instead and hope that it will go a tiny bit of the way towards a port of "Rise" for Linux.

Quoting: operaSad news, but nice to have some honest communication.

Well, that's always the question isn't it. I remember when "Amplitude Studios" went out and said they decided to scrap the Linux version of their title because they reasoned they could get more cash by focusing on DLC for windows instead. Really crappy, but unquestionably honest.

I don't know, maybe I'm just too suspicious by nature, but whenever a linux version gets scrapped because of unexplained "issues", then I start to wonder...

As usual, almost all of my wishlist are games not yet released for Linux. Still, I might go for the Stellaris-expansion, maybe Sword-Coast Legends, Layers of Fear, Dungeon Rushers as well.

I last played it on the 7:th of October (second playthrough, picked up the new achievments) and it worked fine then.

Still, this issue sounds like the one I had when the game was first released. The mouse only worked properly in the menues then, but in the game itself control was almost impossible, this was quickly fixed with a patch though.

28 hours played and I am completely hooked. Tons to explore, a fascinating storyline, lots of interesting characters, an unusual and fascinating system for magic as well as much other entertainment.

November is officially gone. I can not see myself doing much of anything else for the rest of the month. :D

Quoting: ShmerlWell, beneficial can mean different things (such as weakening the tyranny itself). I.e. you'd for example need to keep that dissent veiled (in order not to bring attention of loyal to the tyrant). Anyway, it looks like an unusual enough setting to provide different roleplaying.

Certainly, I only meant beneficial in the self serving sense, not in any larger or moral sense.

For example, slapping someone in the face, might gain you respect, since it shows you are a tough s.o.b. and not someone to be messed with. Intimidating someone, might gain you "fear points" which can lead to increased influence and even special abilities. Insulting someone, might gain you the loyalty of any ally or faction that dislikes the one you inslut. etc. etc.
