Does it have voice recognition so I can shout OBJECTION! myself?

Actually, nevermind. It's not like lack of voice input have stopped me from shouting at the screen in every other game...

Quoting: SirBubblesBased on my very old experience with what passes for NWN's single player, is it still even worth it? I thought everyone did NWN for the mods or expansion packs. Hordes of the Underdark was pretty decent, if I recall.
I do hope it stands the test of time. I've been waiting for quite a while to try it out.

Also, I need something to take my mind of disease, pandemics, quarantine and lockdowns. I'm sure this will be just the thing for that!

Quoting: slaapliedjeI had a wizard I played all the way from 1st to 14th.. Then got sort of stuck... and then of course lost my save game so I have to start over on the main campaign... At least now I think they have cloud saves!
Oh dear. That's a whole bucket of bummerballs!

I decided to to go for a fighter and aim for weapons master later. It seems to be a safe beginners choice.

The first game was an absolute gem. Didn't even know they were working on a sequel so this is a very nice surprise!

A great title, awesome to finally, finally see the engine completed!

Also awesome to see the original developers happy to see the game supported in ScummVM even if the original sourced code couldn't be used.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Single-Player mod is out now

So much love for the Wolfensteins! I had a blast playing through Blade of Agony and I'm sure I'll enjoy this one too.

Question: On my system I seem to be able to jump into any mission right at start. Is it designed that way (with no coherent campaign) or did I screw something up?

Two years on, Stadia seems to have no direction left

Quoting: Liam DaweYeah, that was a thoroughly weird take on how I covered Stadia. I wrote about it in the same way I write about any new thing here. I covered it with initial impressions, new games coming to it and major updates to it, often in a round-up with multiple things so I wasn't writing individually about every little thing.
I never used Stadia, never liked the idea of it.

I do read the GoL articles about it, and I do like that GoL covers that aspect of gaming too. Thank you for that!

The Zink driver for OpenGL over Vulkan shows good performance on NVIDIA

Quoting: MayeulCI still can't run RAGE withouth graphical issues (I had the same issues when the game was released, back them on AMD/windows/catalyst, and now on AMD/RadeonSI). I wonder if zink would help here.
Sounds like a good idea to try and an interesting test case for Zink. Rage is indeed quite buggy and and is one of those freaks of nature that uses a compatibility context.

Mesa 21.3 drivers out, plus NVIDIA 470.62.12 Vulkan Beta for Linux

Quoting: Avehicle7887Any help would be appreciated :)
I think you used to have to set VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr (or dxr11) to enable it in VKD3D?

Might want to check the logs from Wine/VKD3D if that doesn't work.
