The eON wrapper works (by now) very well for The Witcher 2, and I would love to see them make one for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim! The latter two work just fine with Steam For Windows installed using PlayOnLinux, but I'd rather see them in my Linux Steam library.

As someone who missed every last Gold Box game, perhaps this will be a way for me to make up for my omission!

This is very good news. "First-person Diablo" is still the best desciption I've heard, from my son.

Aspyr did the Mac port, FWIW.

Thanx for the ref guide; I couldn't find it mentioned on the Steam AI forums, so I posted the link there. This is very useful!

In fact, Windows gamers were underwhelmed by BG:EE; PC Gamer pointed out that the superior BG experience lay in modding the original game with a well-crafted and certainly bug-free bunch of mods. For games of this type, and I do like them, the Real Deal will be Torment:Tides of Numenaria, and Pillars of Eternity. Both will have the orthogonal view of your party, with an advanced plot (these are the same people who did Planescape:Torment, which should be all you need to know), and the tried-and-true Black Isle pausable combat system we all used to love, back in the day.

Those are the games I am waiting for, at any rate. I did support both on Kickstarter (after getting excited over Wasteland 2), so it's just a matter of time.

Quoting: aLthis looks like one i would enjoy... but ill pass for now... I dont have the time now

ill probably buy it when it goes on sale... to mostly sit there unplayed with the rest :/

I hear you talkin', brother.

Back in my dual-boot days, I had the original. Fun watching planets reel away from the sun when given a change in Jupiter's gravity, etc.

This version looks much, much better, I will say

Wow. After six+ years of using the perfect OS, there are some here I know very well, and some I'd not yet heard of. A valuable public service!

Argentina is also the home of MATE, named after the famous Argentinian caffeinated herb!

Any new engine for GNU (let's start calling it that; it is the OS we use that the Linux kernel makes possible; we don't say "Android/Linux," do we?) is Good News for we gamers. Gabe Newell's focus, "Steam Machine" notwithstanding, seems to have been the right one. Steam has certainly been good for GNU.

Yeah, I saw a video of a guy angrily saying to another man, "This is California! Speak Spanish!"

It was presented as a joke...
