Quoting: AnxiousInfusionShmerl, how do you get GOG games to launch on Debian? Do they need 32 bit libraries?

If you mean native games, and they are 32-bit, you will need various 32-bit libs, like support for PulseAudio, SDL and such. They are usually listed in the GOG game card requirements.

You need to enable multiarch first:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

If you mean Wine, then also, to run 32-bit games in Wine you need to have certain 32-bit libraries. Simply installing wine will already pull in lot's of them.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein (native) and Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines which was recently released on GOG (Wine). Both are classics.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionWould you say role play is the only way to truly enjoy this game?

If it's on-line RPG, I expect roleplaying to have the major focus :) Otherwise it's not an RPG, right? That's the reason some on-line multiplayer games drop RPG from the title and call themselves MMOs.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleThere is quite a bit of grinding though, but not of the WoW-like variety (ie, repeating dungeon runs/raids to get gear drops etc.). It's more because the economy is player-managed, all gear is crafted, materials have to be gathered etc. It's grinding, but of the more leisurely variety.

That reminds me of PlaneShift. But I don't mind that kind of activity, since it can fit with roleplaying well.

Quoting: toorThis game has the best community I have ever seen. People are helpful and mature

But is into roleplaying or into mindless hack-n-slash / grinding? For instance WoW is the later.

Do they provide a 64-bit client for download? I remember checking it a while back, and they didn't have it. I guess other way to get it would be building the source of course (and replacing the binary / libs from the official client).

Does it have a good roleplaying community? I can give it a try, but if it's all about grinding, I wouldn't be so interested.

It's always good when developers do simultaneous releases in all stores.

It does remind of Race The Sun. Will it be available on GOG or may be itch.io? The second becomes an interesting alternative to DRM-free games which GOG doesn't accept.

Is anyone doing regular Witcher 3 tests with the new releases of Wine? I didn't buy the game and there isn't any demo, so I have no idea how far DX11 support has progressed.
