Please support a Linux/Mac version. I'm still waiting on NWN2 for Linux before I make my purchase. |

BioWare please port both Dragon Age and your upcoming MMORPG to GNU/Linux. NWN1 is one of the best games I have for my desktop. I was disappointed that NWN2 wasn't ported to Linux so I ended up not buying that game. You are my favorite CRPG producer. Please make your fans happy and port DA to this wonderful platform.
Thank you,
Thinker |

I would just like to voice my support for a Linux version. While I am forced to reboot to winblows to play most games, any game that I can use without rebooting moves up quite a ways on my xmas wishlist. |

AFAIK NWN2 was programmed with DirectX, not OpenGL. Sad but true.

For producing a Mac version, I would suggest Bioware look at TransGaming's Cider. With it, the game doesn't have to be "ported" in the traditional sense. It only requires slight modification to the game's original code, which according to the Cider FAQ, "this process takes hours to a mere few days." Once those changes are made, the Windows version, patched with those changes, would likely run quite well on Linux using Cedega. Since I'm not sure about the policy for posting links here, I'll just say for more info, go to transgaming.com, find Cider, and the FAQ is linked at the bottom of the Cider page. |

Please port this wonderful game to Linux. I bought nwn and expansions because of the linux port. I bought another copy of nwn just to play it online with a friend of mine.
Oh, and please no cedega/wine... a native port is much better. |

Hello Bioware staff,
I already emailed you because I wanted you to know, that I won´t buy NWN2 if there is no linux release from it. The same applies to Dragon Age. So please release Dragon Age also for Linux, otherwise you´r going to loose many paying customers. Because gaming shouldn´t be bound with just one OS. |

And that's 10 pages, so this gets closed now. Thanks for the input it's been passed along to the Dev team.
LOCKDOWN!
