How’s everyone enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3 so far? (self.steamdeck)

I’m using medium settings with a few (clouds, fog) low ones. FSR is off for now, I did test it briefly on Ultra Quality and did not really notice any blurrong )though it was a brief test) The FPS I’m getting is mostly above 30 but varies a lot inbetween 25-40 (40 is my refresh rate cap).

The controls are easy to get used to and cover all the functions well. Only 4 hours into the game but really enjoying it so far.

How’s everyone finding the performance to be like after the inital few hours?

It seems good enough on Steam Deck - I set it to 30FPS because I'm playing on a PC which barely meets the system requirements and transferring the saves using Steam Cloud servers. The PC can only hit 30FPS most of the time, and even when I try to reduce graphical settings I can't get a consistent 60FPS.

The walking using the analog stick on the controller is pretty interesting because on PC you have to click places to move there. I like that we can do that. Though we're restricted to a radial menu to do attacks and stuff, which I'll have to get used to if I start any battles on the Steam Deck. So far I did all my battles on the PC.

You can also click-and-drag to emulate using a joystick to move when playing on keyboard + mice controls
