I'm also considering this, but I'm a little afraid of being stuck in the slow lane when it comes to software updates. I'm aware of Backports, but I'm led to believe it has a somewhat limited selection. Perhaps this is a

I'm so looking forward to F:NV support, which I understand is some ways off yet. It's a pain to play and mod on Linux at the moment, and I'd find some kind of OpenFNV extremely welcome.

I like the blog, but I wish it were updated more often. Even little updates would be welcome. Another interesting blog in a similar space is the Daggerfall Unity bloc over at https://www.dfworkshop.net/ .

The game was fantastic. Buggy, awkward, sometimes barely functional - and yet it conjured a cohesive world in a way that every successive generation of TES game has managed less and less well for me. The lore- and world-building, circa Morr

I really love the practice of releasing the source code once a project comes to a commercial end, and I respect the devs greatly for doing so. Good job!

Oddly aggressive response? Yes, Win32 has been supported for a long time (though it's worth noting that it barely older than this emulator, which started development in 1995 and not originally on Win32), but there's been a long
