I’m an old fart, so I don’t want to play any games with kernel level anti-cheat. I’ve yet to encounter a game that doesn’t work in Linux.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle had some AMD driver issues early on, but I was able to tinker a short term fix until they fixed it. MachineGames’ engine has always been wonky on release.

I haven’t paid close attention but I think she started a cult or something.

Yeah, I don’t buy from them anymore since Ziff Davis bought them. I wonder what kind of tax breaks they wrangled out of it.

I’m playing the “demo” and just met an elf companion who said something like “whoopsie! My gods are real and they’re going to destroy the world! 🤷” And it just undercuts the whole story.

Marvelization is the perfect way to describe it. There are zero stakes.

Origins had humor and snark, but it was mostly used in service of the story and themes.

DAO sets the tone during the harrowing when one Grey Warden candidate dies drinking Darkspawn Blood, then Duncan straight murders the other candidate when he freaks out.

Veilguard just seems saccharine and safe.

Not sure I’d have bought it on launch day but definitely early as long as reviews were positive and it ran okay in Linux.

I kickstarted the first one, so I’ve got no problem waiting until it’s on GoG or at least Denuvo-less on Steam.
