Quoting: EKRboiso what you are saying is it's not diablo.
It surely isn't. If you want a historic comparison, take a look at what inspired this game: https://www.gog.com/game/planescape_torment [External Link]

Such games don't need multiplayer since they try to be close to pen and paper RPGs but in game form. To make it similar with multiplayer one needs a serious environment with GMs and such like some MMORPGs do to be conductive for roleplaying. And that's a completely different scope of a project.

It's going to be a great RPG in the spirit of Planescape Torment. If you've never played it, pick up the original on GOG.

Correct, but this one isn't available on Linux, right? Or is there any FOSS implementation I'm not aware of?
It is available on Linux through Wine. Arguably, it's not any worse than using eON or any other way of translating Direct3D into OpenGL, especially if it works well.

Quoting: chrisqNot being able to deliver their magnificent support was used as an excuse to not deliver linux binaries on gog earlier. This shows that was just talk, as expected.
What are you talking about? The game was in alpha / beta status until very recently. GOG doesn't run beta programs, they only sell releases.

It works quite well for me at 1920 x 1200 with GTX 680 on max settings with ubersampling off (besides a few glitches like crash on exit and a bit weird warnings in the log which I reported in the bug tracker).

I don't see any major performance difference with Wine + CSMT. I never played it on Windows, so can't compare with that.

If anyone has audio missing in the dialogs, it's a known but with the configurator. See https://github.com/KillaW0lf04/The-Witcher-2-Issues/issues/59 [External Link]
