Hi everyone! So I just switched to Linux and I am a little unsure of what to play on my laptop.

It's a presumably decent laptop, 16gb of ram and Iris Xe, but I find that it has battery issues trying to play anything fancy like Skyrim.

I'm looking into things like emulation, finally tackling my Itch.io backlog, and bringing out old classics.

I like RPGs and text-based choose your own adventure games, so if you have any recommendations I'd appreciate it!

And some mods are easily portable to OpenMW, depending on how they're implemented. I fixed a simple Mana Regen mod just by checking that its scripts were modifying the right variable. The mod editor built into OpenMW is as user friendly as any mod tool I've ever used.

I think most mods are reasonably compatible, but I don't really use a ton. OpenMW even has graphic herbalism built in these days, so the only thing I run now is a mod to delay the Dark Brotherhood attacks. I think the main issue is mods that require the Script Extender (MWSE).

I don't know where their feature list is anymore, buy I do recall a dev update where they said they had plans to incorporate MWSE or MWSE compatibility into the engine natively. The roadmap had that as a far-future after all native implementations were complete, so time will tell.
