  • I loved DA:O. It was far from perfect, but at the time it was the closest we could get to a spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Icewind Dale - dark fantasy, tactical combat, and a decent story.

    Then DA 2 came along and it felt like an entirely different series. I didn’t get it at the time because of how simplified and arcadey it looked. I picked it up on some deep sale and got bored of it pretty quickly.

    DA:I seemed to be trending back in the right direction with a bit more tactical combat. I never finished it but it was decent enough on a sale. This looks like they doubled down on DA 2 here and…meh.

    Doubtful I would have gotten it anyway since it’s EA but I would have loved to have been proven wrong.









  • What you’re looking for is called a symbolic link or symlink. It basically creates a shortcut to a folder in another location. Creating the symlink creates a new folder, so you can either use it to link to new subfolders inside the video and music folders in your home or delete the existing video and music folders in your home and use the symlink to recreate them.

    This won’t delete the shortcut to Video or Music from your Files browser.

    So if your videos are stored in a drive mounted at /mnt/datadrive/videos/ and you want to create a symlink folder called video2 in your home directory you’d run this from your home directory:

    ln -s /mnt/datadrive/videos video2

    Note there’s no slash at the end of the path for the source folder. I forget why, but you have to leave it off.
