Quoting: NaibIf only Lego games were ported I would look into a steambox

As strange as it might sound, the one game I miss the most since giving Windows the old heave-ho last year is LEGO The Lord of the Rings.

Quoting: LinasDo we actually have a confirmation for the Linux support on this one?

Quoting: DrMcCoyYes. The Steam page [External Link] has Linux system requirements and an earlier press release mentioned Linux, but I can't find it at the moment. They're also reusing the same general codebase from Pillars of Eternity, so Linux support isn't a problem at all.

Plus it's being published by Paradox who is a major supporter of Linux gaming.

They need to give this game a different name, because every time I see it, I read it as "Tranny".

This is the first DLC that actually looks like it's worth the admission price.

Also, the performance improvements in the patch, while seemingly minor, could have a big impact, especially the one bug that was apparently causing some effects to render twice per frame.

I'm guessing this is purely cosmetic? I'll probably do like I've done with most of the other Paradox DLC I've purchased: add it to my wishlist and wait for a sale. I picked up a bunch of cheap DLC for Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV during the recent Steam summer sale.

Quoting: nattydread...some things really annoy me: like why can't it recharge its AA batteries from USB?

Because that can be a rather complex and expensive feature to implement when one is dealing with user replaceable batteries. There's too many variables to account for. While they could have included their own custom made battery pack and avoided this problem entirely, I love the current flexibility of being able to put any kind of battery I want in the controller.

I'm always amused by the premise that Valve, arguably the most successful company in the video game industry, doesn't know what they're doing.

The interesting thing with commercial software that is often at odds with open source projects is that it doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work.
