…or potentially any modern computer, for that matter! EDIT 26/01/20: this post is wrong. While it provides a method of running Discworld Noir, it’s not the best way to run it in Windows 10. No, there’s a fix for the executable file that some clever bugger came up with that…

Warning: this blog post contains spoilers for not just the ending of Fallout: New Vegas, but the expanded DLC (DownLoadable Content) missions too.
