Hey there everyone...... i was just wondering if i could just go ahead and but NeverWinterNights at Walmart (or some other store). I know it is Linux native but does that mean i have to do anything special with it??
Thanks

Its all here http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html#notes . Installation instructions pretty clear and mine runs perfectly.
Yes, just go out and buy the MS Windows boxed version and download the Linux client as suggested above.Quote:

You might be able to find either Gold or Platinum edition for $20 or less at a used book store like Half Price Books. I see it there all the time where I live.Quote:

Yeah, I found out that NWN2 is coming out. Does anyone know if the "Diamond" addition will run with linux. Just wanted to make sure.
According to the Neverwinter Nights Linux Client page (linked above), the only version they "officially" support is Gold and the original plus the two expansions. It's *possible* Diamond will still work however, because all you're really doing when you install it in Linux is copying certain files off the disc.Quote:

It's been a while since I installed NWN, but yes. I'm pretty sure that's what the instructions say on their site.Quote:
