Tyranny is a little gem - replay value included. The two Pillars Of Eternity games are also very good.

As of the classic BGs… Go for the eyes, Boo! ;)

Well. This one is still collecting dust on my Wishlist. I never purchased it because of the mess it was according to reviews. That's some bucks saved, I guess.

I love how they raise the number of cores with each category. Wonder how many will be really used in the end :tongue:

Great. I met DoomJuan of the team in another project of his and had some insight on his design approach and who would have guessed: Dude is really doing his research so some buildings should hold up to history in great detail :happy:

Quoting: EikeI thoroughly enjoyed it although I never played the first one. I guess it's even better when meeting some people again after a quarter of a century... :)
tbf I wouldn't remember. I mean I did play it and I enjoyed it but that's all I can say today.

Quoting: einherjarI am glad that on Steam I just can play ;-)
Be assured that this was the last time that I bought a "recent" game at GOG. I'm so tired of this. It's like this with _every_ freakin patch X4 (or similar) get. I can be happy when I get stuff within the same month.

I got tired of waiting for the DLC packages for Linux on GOG to I started playing around with the Windows DLC.

* Installed Linux x4_foundations_4_00_45652.sh to /games/linux/X4_Foundations/
* Installed the package `innoextract` (v 1.8) (For me: `dnf install innoextract`)
* Put the Windows DLC files into /games/linux/X4_Foundations/game
setup_x4_cradle_of_humanity_4.00_(64bit)_(45636)-1.bin
setup_x4_cradle_of_humanity_4.00_(64bit)_(45636).exe
setup_x4_split_vendetta_4.00_(64bit)_(45636)-1.bin
setup_x4_split_vendetta_4.00_(64bit)_(45636).exe
* Extracted the Windows DLC files manually:

cd /games/linux/X4_Foundations/game
innoextract --exclude-temp --extract setup_x4_split_vendetta_4.00_\(64bit\)_\(45636\).exe 
innoextract --exclude-temp --extract setup_x4_cradle_of_humanity_4.00_\(64bit\)_\(45636\).exe


Run game, shows both DLC.
Selected Terrain Start and watched intro.
Reported back here :)

ymmv.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy"The Matter of France", huh? Someone has some knowledge of medieval lit. Gives me a good feeling.
