    So getting the elder scrolls 3 to work through wine or playonlinux or whatever and have it install and play for 5-10 minutes is all well and good....but has anyone played it for a long time? like having a play session lasting a couple of hours or completely playing through the game on linux and whatever workaround you use, has anyone done it? and what was it like? any hiccups/lag spikes/glitches? I'm curious..

    I'm not sure how Morrowind works differently (probably older rendering engine and whatever), but I played Skyrim on Arch just fine. (*hug*)

    Does Wine emulate XP, or Vista/7/8? I play morrowind on my all AMD win8 machine and the sun is a black hole. It's cool, actually. I listen to Soundgarden when I play it now :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    There are standalone wine versions with different features, different graphics outputs etc.
