Not as much as my brother, who has repeatedly played NWN over and over
again.Played the game only once, but I spent most of that playing time
reading over the DOD 3rd Edition rules (as the last time I got to play a
DOD game prior to NWN was 10 years ago - the board games actually)

Most probably it will require OpenGL/Mesa. (the graphics rendering is
very good). If it would run flawlessly with nVidia's binary drivers then
it's good too.

Probably 1.2 (the latest after that perhaps?) If I would be able to run
it in Debian Potato (if that would be even possible) then it's already
good enough for me (hehehe) ;) I'd also like to hope that it would
accept

Anyway, I just hope that other games that are using the DOD 3rd Edition
Rules (currently Icewind Dale 2 - which I think has better replay value
despite using the game engine of Baldur's Gate, and Pools of Radiance)
get ported to Linux. But it would be even better if they'd design games
in Linux that would get released the same time as their Win32
counterparts (waiting for months like what I did when I waited for the
release of the Myth II:Soulblighter Linux port a year ago when the Win32
and Mac ports have long been released is not much of a comforting pace
for me).
