looks good but...
do not get me wrong a lot of work was done on this, but expect massive audio issues as well as some other issues as well...
(i use Linux Mint, never had these issues with base game, except some loading time issues before it was updated)
pros:
- looks great, custom bobbles/doodads/misc.
- uses its own custom meshes/textures/etc.
- videos are custom and well done
- VO work (where it can be heard is excellent)
cons:
- shading is wonky at best when using the "torch"
- audio does not work worth shit (taking the piss?)
- the radshrew looks like it is right out of something from half-life episode 2 with the weird layered reflections...
- get overlapping texture flashing
- load times are insane (part of this is carried over from base game i am sure)
- some things do not make much sense, such as desks that should be able to interact with do not show up as such... search/loot/open/container.
- not sure why if when they put so much effort in they did not do a standalone but instead decided to make it a total conversion mod, just does not make sense.
after a while the game crashed and now the intro/new game is completely fubar...
it should not take a full minute or more to load into a different area, its insane...
make a stand alone version, that way you can make sure that the behavior is much more consistent.
the start stats seem low, i guess they are trying to stay true to the original games?
should setup a custom skills like original games, if they want to stay true to originals...
the biggest and most annoying issue is the sound not working right....
