It's question time today here on GOL, so sit down and come have a chat. Today I ask a very simple question: what game would literally blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?
I've asked myself this very same question and while it looks like a simple question, the truth is that it's actually quite difficult to narrow it down.
There's a fair amount of great games we don't have and that's probably a heavy understatement. There's a good 10-20 games I badly want on Linux and narrowing them down was a bit of a task.
I think my all time wish right now would be: Fallout New Vegas.
A game I actually own, as it's one of the left-overs from back when I was dual-booting. I can't bring myself to load up Windows to play it. My Windows hard drive doesn't even fit in my PC case, so it becomes a nuisance to actually load Windows any way now.
Why Fallout New Vegas? I've been a Fallout fan since a young age and I think I've actually played all of them now. I love the world, the style of it and the gameplay is engrossing as hell. It was my favourite of the series by far.

My choice is for Witcher 3.
However my top few choices also include:
Skyrim, DOOM, Shadow Warrior 2
A bit further down, but still near the top of my list:
All the Fallouts, Dragon's Dogma, Watch Dogs 2, Dragon Age, Oblivion, Dishonored I+II
Noting that I already own DOOM, and I'm suffering to play it under Windows.
Also, I'm expecting SW2 will be on its way to Linux soon. (Please hurry the F up)

Most wanted: The Witcher 3
I'd also really like Fallout 4 & Skyrim Special Edition
As for Fallout 3, New Vegas, Oblivion, Skyrim... they all work very well in Wine AFAIK, so just getting DRM-free releases of those would be great.
(not counting games that are already confirmed as having Linux releases planned, e.g. Shadow Warrior 2)

New vegas & Oblivion for me. With all the tools to create or at least add mod to them.

A game that would blow my mind if it came? GTA V. A game I'd fucking love if it did? Any Bethesda or Ubisoft game.

Rocksmith 2014 Remastered would be my number 1 pick.
But I do find it sad that none of the older id Software games on steam have linux support. There where at one time always know as the games to run on linux.

Skyrim, definitely.
If a company would propose me to port 100 second-class titles on Linux OR Skyrim, I'd choose Skyrim.

Honestly anything Blizzard. I am not talking about the new stuff, but the classics like Diablo and Starcraft from the 90s. Second up on the list would be the original Deus Ex from 2000

Anachronox, because it's my favorite game, the best game I have ever played.
From more recent stuff The Witcher 3 would have made my day. The Age of Decadence I'd also be really happy about, a fantastic immersive RPG. King of Dragon Pass would also be much appreciated. Would be lovely if Daedalic finally ported Memoria to Linux too, it's their best title.

Im sure its already been mentioned but Fall out new vegas runs in wine really well. By really well i mean 40 - 60 fps on a mostly highest settings on the older opensource AMD drivers on a low end APU ! @1080p
It was one of the easiest wine games to get going too. No hassle just install straight from Steam-wine.
