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.

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: FeistI find myself constantly choosing the opposite of what I normally would and being rewarded by both more companion loyalty, more respect of factions and items of value.

Can you RP dissent there (or hidden dissent)?

Well in many conversations there is the option to "not intimidate" or "not provoke" or "not insult" or even to act "mildly noble" or something similar. Normally, those would be the options I would pick, using a kind of "My Name Is Earl Mentality" (Karma=Do Good Things-->Good Things Happens To You) that tend to apply in most rpg:s.

However, in Tyranny I need to work against that instinct, since it seems that it is more beneficial to "Be Bad", or at least that is my impression this far (only 3 hrs of gameplay after all).

After 3 hours played, I find this experience rather fascinating. I have *always* (Baldurs Gate, IcewindD, KotOR1&2, Neverwinter1&2, Dragon Age, Masseffect etc. etc.) played as a good character before and "Breaking Bad" feels very strange to me. I find myself constantly choosing the opposite of what I normally would and being rewarded by both more companion loyalty, more respect of factions and items of value.

Lol, I wonder if it will be strange to good back to playing a good/normal character after this. :P

No problems for me either, 7 hours played without a single crash or bug.

Nice to have it for Linux!

Although, I must admit that I felt a little shocked to see this at the top of steam "sellers-list", while Deus Ex is not even on the first page.

I guess I just can't get over the fact that a game like a "football manager", is *NOT* a small special interest gaming niché, only drawing the attention of a handful of harder-than-hardcore football fans. Lol.
