A level 12-20 D&D adventure would pose major new design challenges.

    It does run on steam deck (though at lower settings with FSR to get 40 mostly stable).

    Open world games with some complexity generally take a decent amount of power. You have to load a good number of surrounding objects at any given time, with a pretty wide view on the zoomed out view. There are also other characters/animals doing stuff, environmental effects, and a healthy dose of passive checks on the environment against various traits of your party to see if your character identifies any of the secrets all over the world.

      The steam deck is so amazing. I’m so close to pulling the trigger on one, but am wondering if I should wait for a cpu upgrade.

        Support the Steam Deck, Valve is doing everything right. Right to repair, virtually all parts replaceable, Linux, Rma’s to name a few. Not to mention it’s a monster of a small machine, it could very well be a desktop replacement as well as a portable gaming system.

          I’ll totally get a steam deck over any other handheld, just wondering if waiting for a steam deck with better cpu is the right choice.

          I’m not in a position to buy it today anyway.

        One of my coworkers got one recently and absolutely loves it. I really want one, but I’m waiting until the next version eventually comes out, since the current one is slightly too heavy for me to hold easily.

          I too am waiting on the next version. I need a new phone and laptop before I can think about a steamdeck. So hopefully a new one will be out by the time I am ready to buy it.
