Playing Larian’s outstanding game as a third-person Mass Effect-style RPG is really working for me.
Jesus christ.
But not the Steam Deck. No, I need the extra GPU power and better screens of the Ryzen 7 7840U powered devices that have arrived recently, and because I crave that USB4 connection, too.
I’ve been playing the game wherever using the AOKZOE A1 Pro because it’s got a high-res screen and the Radeon 780M iGPU, but also because it’s got a USB4 port that lets me hook it up to a standard Thunderbolt external GPU dock when I’m at home. That means I can take twin advantage of both a discrete, desktop RTX 3070 and DLSS.
That feel when this is not-so-subtly an ad disguised as an article.
And I mean, is this guy kidding us? A craving to connect an external GPU which will double the amount of dB heard, while playing within the handheld console which you’ll not be able to move much because of the external GPU plugged in? Man, like… just use Steam Link to your PC with your Chinese toy instead of paying 3-4K bucks for a 800p resolution screen experience.

Long press the
Abutton and it “searches” the area and gives you a list of interactable items in the area. Unfortunately, this system needs some polish because selecting items results in your character moving around to interact with items and this changes which other items are in range, and reorders others, but even with this I prefer this method.I was going to suggest this too. Divinity 2 did searches with holding down the button too. And it will select everything in a radius around you that you can interact with and you just choose what you want and how to interact with it.
I normally will select the book and then read. I may or may not pick it up. I only like valuable books quest related books.
Yes
Though it’s also missing the change of the item name when it has been opened (like a box). Otherwise it’s super annoying to loot everything.
But it’s a quick fix, I’m sure they will get around to it.

There does not appear to be any height limit to the search. I was at the mouth of a cave and selected some plant and my character ran all the way around the mountain to end up on top of the cave to pick the plant and I couldn’t find a way to cancel it.
So, needs some work but it’s still mostly useful. Haha
Larian does controller support extremely well.
I’ve been playing it on my pc and on the Steam deck, and I gotta say I enjoy the steam deck experience more.
Honestly my PC gaming habits dropped dramatically since owning a Steam Deck. Easier to play a steam Deck with kids in the room vs PC, and I’m starting to just wait for games to be “Steam Deck” ready now
Yeah I spent like 5hrs a week on the train, the steam deck is a god sent. I was a little bit afraid that the controls for Baldurs Gate would be terrible, but I enjoy them a lot
Same here except x2. Me and my gf were hoping for a DOS2 replacement and boy does it feel that way. Even the first couple of hours it has that divinity look and feel (no spoilers but the first couple of hours are very similar in many ways it seems).
Zero issues so far with the controllers.
Have you figured out how to merge the screens together when nearby like in DOS 1 and 2?
Apparently it’s a feature, but I can’t get it to work.
I have not
I did not know that was a thing. If you do find out tell me!!
Will do. I wonder if it’s bugged and the fix is bundled with the console launch that got delayed…
The controller support is so good. I played like 50 hours of early access on keyboard and mouse, but I’ve used my controller since launch and haven’t skipped a beat in functionality.
Anyone figured out how to “cursor” over the ground to see if it’s poisoned, fire, wet, ect? Or how to aim spells up high?
Press the left stick.
I haven’t picked up the game yet, but this would likely be my move too. I really like using my PC to play games, but apparently can’t be bothered to buy a decent desk chair. So couch it is!
Yea, the comfy couch is the plan for me too.
I might not have bought it if it didn’t work well on controller. I know myself enough to know I won’t take the time at a desktop.
The only problem with controller I’ve had is the input box doesn’t open for text boxes where applicable. Though that could just be Steam and there isn’t too many input boxes like that.
But instead of the PS5 I will play on my gaming PC. Move you character with the controller and the camera follows you.
Anyone know how to invert camera Y-axis?
