This may be a way for inXile to get back in my good graces, after they blew more than $4M and 4 years on Torment:Tides of Numenera, which had a damn novel of text, which was well-written, but has itself gotten a lot of criticism, and about 50% of a full game. They didn't even build an engine, but used PoE's very good engine.

And still they put out a CRPG with ~50 hours of play time.

I have been able to get a few of the Windows games I had bought back in my dual-booting days, and am able to run BioShock (the original), Oblivion, Banished (no sound), Bejewled, and one or two others. It's been a crapshoot; some games run perfectly, some won't run at all, and some just are silent.

And it will only improve.

I was pretty happy with having supported PA on Kickstarter in '13 (seems so long ago), and it was delivered about, iirc, about 15 months later, and the next year, I got PA:TITANS for free. Those devs definitely are still taking care of their customers.

Why couldn't it have been InXile?

I bought Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, a Windows game for $5, and it runs like a champ. Nice to be able to play the original match-3 game. Doki Doki Literature club, also.

Yes, DOOM is available. With my total suckage with FPS games, that's one I'll pass.

On the other hand, I would immediately purchase The Witcher 3, if it gets on the Proton list.

I already have BG1, BG2, IWD. and Neverwinter Nights, all from Beamdog. This, I'm afraid, is a solution without a problem.

I've been computerless for the last month or so. I'm using a smartphone now, until my Acer N15 arrives tomorrow. It has a 7th generation i3 with a nVidia graphics chip, 4 GB RAM, a slot for an SSD and a 1TB hard drive. The SSD will be /, and the hard drive will be /home.

For $400 on Amazon. It's getting a lot of reviews calling it the most bang for the buck in under $400 laptops.

If you're interested...

I, of course, love tower defense games.

A 5-part TUTORIAL??? It's downloading as I'm typing this, and it is nice for Paradox to show me how to play their %$^$$%$* game...

Later: Yes, it really does tell you how to play the game, with instructions, tooltips, and a voice.

I'm finally glad I sprung for SM. I'm afraid I just couldn't figure it out the way I bought it.

Thanx Paradox!

Inasmuch as I have been 100% unsuccessful in converting my friends and family to at least try booting a live USB, and three of them had to pay ~$100 to fix their computer running the biggest malware magnet, known as the OS known as Windows, the game does look attractive.
