Do what you want, but everyone of the games you just listed I can play with The Porting Kit - http://portingkit.com/en/


Or you can go to https://www.paulthetall.com/


I use it as a consumer, and I've had great luck with it. Basically they customize a wine wrap for each game, then make it available as a free download. I've donated to them, but it's all free.

I've had a problem with Skyrim, which they list as available, but I don't want to play it without mods that clean it up, and in part because of those mods it's not loading correctly. Also, Fallout 4 isn't available at this time.

But all the ones you mentioned are good to go. In addition, the original Mass Effect series works great, and recently he put up the original Dragon Ages, although I haven't tried that one. But I definitely played Oblivion, daggerall, new vegas, and fallout 2 and 3 through the Porting Kit without issues.

The only issue is that most of theese dont have dlc or the patches that fix major glitches, they are normally older versions aswell

Wait, wut? They're not "versions" at all. I buy the game, with the DLC content and whatever patches and mods I want to run. All that porting kit thing does is download the wine wrapper with the right settings. You still have to buy the game, or I guess pirate it from somewhere if that's what you're into. I'm not.

What I like about it is I don't have to fool with the Wine settings, which is doable, but not something I want to spend my time researching and trying to get right. I also want to have a reasonable amount of confidence the game is going to work before I purchase it. With this porting kit thing, I can do that.

But the porting kit doesn't download the game for you. You have to do that separately, along with whatever DLC you're looking for. There's really no difference between it and running Wine yourself, except they've done all the work for you.

The only games I've had issues with, and I've run over a couple of dozen, is with Skyrim with the latest mods that fix glitches, and with the STALKER mod that's a standalone game itself (although I can play all the STALKER games themselves, and highly recommend them). But all the games you listed I can run fine, with mods. I haven't tried every mod out there, but I've tried more than a few. It hasn't been an issue for me.

In any case, they're not older versions of the game. They're the current version. Well, actually they're whatever version you download, but since I'm buying them from Steam or GOG.com, they're the latest versions they have available.

Ok, the only reason I said that is because some over things I have gotten from similer sites did not have were not compatible with dlc and were very early updates, I did not know about this

For boot camp, it does not still have the same virus protection. You are pretty much running a windows box, with all the ensuing problems. though your mac side will be fine, you may get a virus on your windows side just like if you had a dell or whatever. Performance is not affected at all because you are not in anything but windows. some games will perform better because of not having to use opengl or whatever.



but for old games you should not have to run windows at all. use the websites above or for the really old ones use dosbox. Only if they perform badly when using a wine wrapper or similar do you want to bother with bootcamp most likely.



You also have to buy or pirate a copy of windows for bootcamp
