I have a real love / hate relationship with Paradox. I love the games, I love the Linux support.

I hate all the bloody DLC. I hate the fact that you can spend more on DLC than the base game cost.

I hope it comes to GOG.

Thanks for the benchmarks, guys. That gives me a pretty good idea of where I'll be at with my i7 / GTX765M combo ... assuming I ever manage to finish downloading it.

At least I know performance will good enough that I can keep working on downloading.

I am a good hunter!

From an early age, I took part in many, many successful hunts for the not-so-elusive Urocitellus richardsonii (Richardson Ground Squirrel AKA gopher). These spectacularly enjoyable hunts are also a great way to increase ones social skills and compare hunting techniques (see ,"sitting on the deck with friends, drinking beer, shooting gophers " for a more in depth explanation).

I have also successfully defended my humble abode against an invasion of several Columba livia domestica (Pigeon) that tried to take up residence in my garage. It was a long fight, but ultimately my opposable thumbs were victorious.

In addition to the above described kills, I have also successfully hunted countless Targetus papyrus (Paper Target). While these do not pose much of a difficulty, it is their sheer number that requires the hunt. I've shot hundreds, if not thousands, and I don't feel like I've really made a dent in the population.

One of the impressive things about these conquests, is that they have all been undertaken with the same weapon: my not-so-trusty Farmers Rifle -1 (crusty old .22 with crooked iron sites).

I am hunter, here me .... uhhhh .... bang!

I agree with Stupendous Man, the Beamdog content isn't at the same level as the original game. It's not horrible, but it's not that good either.

I'll wait and hear the reviews.

This raises two questions for me:

Will KOTOR 1 get the same love? They both use the Odyssey engine, so porting 2 should get you a long ways towards having 1 ported.

Will the Linux versions make their way to GOG - I own both there.

I hope it's free to current owners! I already own the game on GOG, but I've never managed to get it working very well in WINE, so I've not really played it yet.

It kind of goes without saying, I'd love to see it come to Linux!

According to a comment by one of the Triumph team on this blog, the Linux version isn't heading to GOG anytime soon:

QuoteWe’re sorry, but GoG currently just carries the Windows version.
When Galaxy hits this might change.
The issue is managing all the builds with updates in a DRM free environment.

The windows version of Galaxy is currently in Alpha, with the Linux version to follow, so, no time soon for sure.

Quoting: tuxisagamerI haven't dualbooted since 1998 though I do keep Windows on a Virtual Machine for the 1-2 times a year I have to do something that absolutely requires Windows.

I use Windows at work and Linux at home.

Ditto, although it was 2006 for me when I ditched windows for good. With all of the great Linux games coming out, I'm also working toward quitting wine. I no longer buy games that aren't Linux native. I haven't played a game using wine in months.

It appears that my definition of Really, really soon differs from Leszek Godlewski's.
