Another thing, you can put the game speed to slow automatically when entering combat, which helps a lot.
That, and pausing frequently to assess the situation.

I really hope that combat isn't as messy as it is in Pillars, that was really annoying.

Why did you find it messy? Because of the real time?
I've been playing the Baldur's Gate series since forever and I felt right at home with Pillars' combat. The first thing to do though is set up autopause rules, f.e. when an enemy is sighted, dies etc.

You guys do know you can block people on Steam, right?

I blocked this fool a long time ago and since then I've lost weight, got a photo model girlfriend and won a sports car!

(The above message might contain hyperbole).

Quoting: GuestSurprised she wouldn't just go with Apple if she needs iTunes.

Cost I guess.

Thank you Microsoft! :)

In the last few months I've made 2 Linux installations for friends with Windows problems. One might go back to Windows because she needs iTunes (for now I've installed it with wine), the other is perfectly happy with Linux.

I got this game in a humble bundle a long time ago and played it a few hours. However I find it too dark and creepy for my taste.

I was looking at G2A a couple weeks ago while searching for sales on various games. The store didn't seem very legit to me so I started researching it a bit.
According to G2A they are based in Hong Kong at 36/F, Tower Two, Times Square, 1 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay. They also seem to have a customer service office in Krakow, Poland. They have another web page at www.g2a.co which I suppose is their company page, not the store. In my opinion it all seems a little fishy.
Here's the good part though: they recommend you to contract their "G2A Shield" while buying from them. This will protect you from any unusable keys and allow you a refund if you have problems. Why should this even be necessary? Shouldn't all their keys be usable by default?
An interesting thing to note is they sell keys at one price directly on their store, and have a marketplace with even cheaper prices. For example, they sell XCom 2 at 32,44€ and the cheapest marketplace entry is 24,99€. I wonder what the difference between the two keys are?

Needless to say I didn't buy anything from, nor do I ever intend to do. There are lots of reputable stores elsewhere (not just Steam and GoG) which sell authentic Linux keys at good (but not too good) prices.

As has been mentioned by others, it is a shame only a few developers have regional prices. I live in a EU country with lower average wages than the rest of Europe, and paying 60€ for a computer games is hard for me to justify.
The only developers I know who consistently sell at regional prices are Croteam, possibly because they themselves live in a "poorer" EU country.

Regarding Geolocking of game keys, this would be a disaster for me personally. I have recently emigrated and often visit my family in another part of Europe. If all my games were region locked I wouldn't be able to play them there and would have to buy them again. Also, for privacy reasons I'm always connected to VPNs around the world, which would also make it difficult for me to play my games.
Same thing with translated games, while I speak the language fluently where I live, I prefer my games in English or their original language, if I understand it. This is the reason why I don't buy games physically here, often they are not available in English. Luckily online stores exist.

Quoting: liamdaweIt is the Directors's Cut that is free to play for the weekend, you can see it yourself on the store page directly.

On the store page yes, but that's not what gets installed. If you look in the Steam library menu, it says Wasteland 2; had it been the DC, it would say so.
At least this is how it is on my PC, maybe you have been able to get the correct version? I know there are other people on the Steam forums with the same problem.
