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.
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?
Anyone know how to invert camera Y-axis?
I’m currently away and finding the experience on my steam deck really great out of the box! I set one of my back buttons to toggle the thing that shows interactables around you and looking forward to finding more little tweaks to do as I play.
When I tried this (default controls, mapping left alt to one of the back buttons) the game would pause while swapping to the mouse and keyboard overlay and stick to that until I hit another button. I wasn’t able to move around while the overlay was swapped. Was this the same for you or did you map it in a different way?
I mapped it to pressing in the right stick on the controller and under settings set it to toggle.
Ive been playing on my PC and streaming using sunshine/moonlight to my steam deck and its perfectly fine.
Its much better on PC, but I cant lay in bed on the PC. Steam deck is a happy balance.
