Even if the game is a repack, you can add the installer EXE to Steam and it'll run with Proton Experimental or GE, choose the install location, then add the resulting, unpacked EXE to Steam and it'll run just fine.

Jon Stewart just discussed some of this on The Weekly Show podcast with Heather Cox Richardson as guest. Discussing whether the metrics that define economic success are outdated and also how poorly any of Biden's "successes" were shared by his White House and the media. It was all framed much better than this article.
I'm playing the "demo" and just met an elf companion who said something like "whoopsie! My gods are real and they're going to destroy the world! 🤷" And it just undercuts the whole story.
Marvelization is the perfect way to describe it. There are zero stakes.
Origins had humor and snark, but it was mostly used in service of the story and themes.
DAO sets the tone during the harrowing when one Grey Warden candidate dies drinking Darkspawn Blood, then Duncan straight murders the other candidate when he freaks out.
Veilguard just seems saccharine and safe.
A few years back, I handed out candy for friends while they took their kids around the neighborhood, and a group of kids jokingly asked for potatoes. I obliged and grabbed them each a potato from the pantry.
When my friends came back, the potato house was apparently the talk of the kids in the neighborhood.
Happened to me nearly 40 years ago on my baby teeth. My mother finally had enough and took me for a second opinion and the next dentist found no problems. It's given me 40 years of dental anxiety so bad that I have to go to a specialist that deals with it. The only time I had to have work done there, they drugged me to the gills.
Oh shit, there's a horse in the hospital!
Free market! No, not that kind of free market!
Not sure I'd have bought it on launch day but definitely early as long as reviews were positive and it ran okay in Linux.
I kickstarted the first one, so I've got no problem waiting until it's on GoG or at least Denuvo-less on Steam.
Malazan is my favorite fantasy series but it ruined other fantasy for me. I've found nothing else that can compare in the scope, breadth, world building, and detail.
The world was developed by these guys as their tabletop rpg setting in college. The series takes place over hundreds of thousands of years but is written with the density of a short story.
I'd recommend keeping Tor's re-read blog handy if you start getting lost. There are chapter summaries and discussions by both a first time reader and a rereader which are spoiler free but include foreshadowing and things to pay attention to. The user discussion below each post could contain spoilers though.
