NWN Linux Screenshots

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the things-to-lust-after dept.

Gabe writes "Looks like the NWN linux client page has been updated with screenshots!. Finally, some decent proof that Bioware is coming through for us linux folks. Maybe it's time to open my copy soon :)" My replacement CPU fan is here, so I theoretically can now play NWN. Can't wait for the good modules to start being developed. In the meantime, we should use it as the prettiest IRC server ever... where you can kill your friends instead of just kickbanning them :)

    With companies like Bioware bringing support to the Linux platform, Linux will be more and more attractive to Joe Sixpack. Whoever said Linux would never survive on the desktop?

    Okay, i realize that the Linux port of NWN is something that we've all pined for, begged for, and are still waiting for. But come on, a single screenshot is news?! Firstly, how can we be sure that it isn't fabricated at all? And secondly, i'd be much happier if we could, say, download some alpha client code; something more substantial than a mere screenshot.

    I still think Bioware should have made good with their promise of bundling the Linux, Mac, and windoze versions in one box.

    Anyway, assuming the screenshot is really authentic, it's nice to see progress on one of my favorite games being ported to Linux, and i just hope the Linux version comes out real soon. Right now, the only reason i boot into windoze is to play NWN. Hopefully that's gonna change.
