I'm playing the GOG linux version of this. Over many hours I have had 1 (one) glitch, which vanished on reloading, so it's basically working flawlessly. While I haven't finished this ( I might be 1/3 to 1/2 way through now ?) I love this game. I have played *many* rpgs for many hours, and this is among the best I've tried. I love the look of it and the sound of it - both the background effects, the music and the voice work. For some reason, some people have criticised the latter as not being 'professional'. For me (as an actor :) ), it simply sounds real. Before I saw those reviews, I was thinking that it was the *best* voice acting I'd heard :) Yes sometimes the dialog may be a bit odd ... but I love it. It's huge; the number of weapons, armor and misc. random things is huge (and there's pictures for every one); character development allows specialisation in fighting, magic, stealth or any combination. I do suggest you need as much vitality (for HP) as you can get, but otherwise, go for it. The map is huge. You should start on the roads, but remember to venture off them when you are a few levels higher. I also suggest that even fighters need a buddy (ie get a few ranks in at least one magic school) so you can summon something to get in the bad guys way. Limitations - the starting character is fixed as male, and the story premise is 'rescue your sister'. That typed, you can largely ignore this if you want and just explore. I got over this very quickly. :) I have yet to find any alchemy recipes either for sale or elsewhere. This leaves me with experimenting and I'd rather not have to. I would have appreciated an "item type" filter as part of the inventory system. Great things - like all great free form RPGs you can go anywhere any time. You will be handed portions of your anatomy should you venture too far. Great. :) Did I mention it's huge ? :) Hours of fun. Enjoy.
I played fallout 3 extensively from DVD under wine in Linux and loved it (despite the occasional crash). :) This GOG version of fallout 3 (GOTY edition; windows version) plays seamlessly on my Linux mint 18 box without crashes of any sort ... and I love it even more. I am still finding things from the original in this epic game, and the extra content is hours more fun, not to mention the increase in level cap from 20 to 30. There's also some new bad guys that will challenge you at the higher levels. The only problem for me is that it left my screen set at a lower resolution when it exits. If it does this for you as well, try ... $ xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --mode 1920x1080 ... or whatever your resolution should be. In summary, it's *great*. Enjoy. :) :)
