I would upgrade for a slightly smaller, more battery efficient Steamdeck with an OLED screen. I know that’s a lot to ask for, but definitely performance is the least of my concerns.
Does this type of mod break with updates, or could you potentially just stay on the version you downloaded and forego any updates? I don’t mod much to the point where I’ve paid for any, but curious the requisite of ongoing subscription for this type of thing.
You’ll be taxed 40% and you’ll be happy about it.
I mean, at least use someone elses children.
I hope they continue to expand on the gore systems in the game. I know that doesn’t keep a game fresh for 10s of hours, but I do appreciate how they lean into the carnage factor. Reminds me of Soldier Of Fortune 1+2 in the sense.
As someone who is terrible at turn based CRPGs, I’ve found the explorer mode to be just perfect for me. I hit a skillwall imediately after fort joy in DOS2 on the easiest setting, so I was really pleasantly surprised.
Definitely seems worth it to keep one rogue in the party just for lockpicking. Seems to save a lot of time.
Especially compared to DOS2, the combat is really engaging IMO.
If you’re willing to give up your option to refund in a 2hr gameplay window, you can get a Steam key from reputable (not greymarket) sellers for a decent discount. Here’s an example
Also in Europe (Germany) and there have been a lot of people OOO due to illness. So far my family has stayed free of it.
BG3 for me as well. I’m just a handful of hours into Act 2 after spending 20+hrs in Act 1. So far, I preferred the less dreary scenery of Act 1, but still enjoying the way the story is going. Can’t express enough how blown away I’ve been by this game so far. I haven’t been so hooked on an RPG since Witcher 3.
I really enjoyed FO4. It didn’t live up to Fo3 or NV for me, but I still had a blast playing through multiple times.
I’m surprised they didn’t pause the release of this video until they were ready to address those alegations as well.
Life, uhhh, finds a way
I felt the exact same way – I played ~20hrs of DOS2 over the past few years, about 1/4 of that in the lead up to BG3’s release, and wasn’t sure if I would bounce off of BG3 like I did DOS2. I’m about 25hrs in BG3, and having an absolute blast. It really does feel like a more refined, and friendlier experience than DOS2, and the in engine cinematics for dialogue are a huge part of that.
How am I supposed to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment without paying for my dice rolls?
It’s a free upgrade on PC if you own the game on Steam. Really decent for them to go that route rather than a paid upgrade.
Is there a CRPG that is worshipped for the best UI in the genre? It seems like a UX nightmare to create a game that is so multifaceted.
This is an amazing feature of Steam – coupled with being able to activate game codes from the browser, it’s so nice grabbing a game from the office on a break, registering it and installing it so it’s ready when you get home.
Just teach them Python and the rest will work itself out.
