Quoting: N30NAnti-aliasing is and has always been broken under Linux (liamdawe claimed otherwise but without a source and I've never seen a working case). This is the main reason I don't play the game more.

really? how can you even tell on the game this fast? :)
anti-aliasing is nice, but that and motion blur are the first ones I usually turn off if I need to raise fps... todays resolutions are so high it usually doesn't affect visuals much.

nah, Never Alone is the only title I'm interested on the bundle, but my daughter already has that, so.. not for me this time.

tried it (again) ... last time it was running OK, but I was little confused what to do in the game.. where to go, what are the quests etc. so now that it came to free trial again decided to give it another go and not care about that and just explore around. but, turns out the performance it horrible! loading times were forever, and once I got into town everything was crawling.. managed to walk around like 10 minutes and then closed it.

I might try again, lower the settings to minimum and see if it runs any better, but this is quite a shock concidering it used to run ok..

it's a shame. I'm a huge Ultima fan.. played the first one on my Commodore c64, and still occasionally I like to play the them through new engines like nuvie and exult etc..

heh heh... really? remove flash means completele rewrite... and then when they go ahead and actually do that for an old title as this, it's a new _directx_ engine, to make it hard as possible to publish on multiple platforms?? well.. ok. I liked the game, don't get me wrong, played it through couple of times. just funny how things go..

love the visuals, but this one seems way too hectic for me.. I can see myself surviving maybe 3 seconds.
buut, thats just me, maybe my daughter will manage this, just like what happened with Crawl. :)

I will surely pick it up. I loved the first one...
I had a windows version for somereason (maybe got it from bundle or something, can't remember), so I played through wine, but worked just perfectly.
ofcourse, I prefer native versions, but I like adventure games so much, I get them anyways, even if it means running wine :)

@fabertawe: awww man.. :) I work lot of nights, and it's dark, screen shines some light so I find my computer, and keys I know know by memory... but mouse ... so lonely there, in the darkness.. so that little light it shines helps me to see where it is, and gives a hope for the little guy too.

I picked this up, because logo reminds me of blender.


the button next to blue light gives me ability to change between two modes with different speeds etc.. so that I use to toggle when I need to switch between precission and speed.

we tried that with my daughter.. because I'm long time Ultima player I had high hopes on this.. started out nicely, but after arriving to the city it just seemed aimless walking. just a bit too open and without a story to our taste. we went back to skyrim.. even if we need to play it in wine, it works perfecly, and delivers a story, quests.. something that is very needed when playing time is limited. and also, it's why I play games :)

maaaybe, i check on this again after a year.. but as for now.. nah.

@arehandoro: discworld.. i never got into the wizard ones.. but I loved Discwold Noir. actually, installed it again a little while ago, that took some effort. nothing else worked, so running that thing in VirtualBox windowsxp vm... heh..
