It works great day one. Multiplayer actually works and is easy to do. No shitty mobile game features. No shitty micro transactions. No shitty battle pass that keeps blinking in the corner reminding you that you haven’t bought it.

No predatory user hostile features.

See, every other video game company, it can still be done!

I mean, technically speaking, it isn’t Day 1. It’s Day 1031.

It’s been in EA for over a year, so they’ve already worked the bugs out.

The most I’ve seen was a few t-poses in some cutscenes, but nothing crazy.

This is the best D&D experience I’ve had in a video game.

This is the exact quote I’ve been using to explain this game to anyone that asks. So much truth!

I’m with you on playing a bard. So much fun.

I have. One small caveat is that I was using the deck to stream it from my Desktop where I have much better hardware (and I’ve noticed that some games play differently locally on the Deck vs streaming, so YMMV).

I played probably 2 hours so far. I wasn’t able to get the controls to work comfortably. I tried 2 of the top listed control configs without much success.

There are a lot of camera controls, like camera rotation, elevation changes, etc and they just aren’t intuitive. One mapped camera rotation to L1 and R1, one mapped it to the back L and R keys (L4 and R4 I think).

None of the configs seemed to support using the analog sticks or d-pad to navigate/make ui selections so instead you’re stuck using the right touchpad to control the mouse cursor and R2 for selecting/left click.

For context, I enjoyed Divinity 2 massively on PC with an Xbox controller, and I feel like it was much more intuitive.

If anyone has any suggestions, I’m itching to play it, but until I find a better solution keyboard and mouse might be the best way.

I’m playing docked on the Deck. Animations and cut scenes play really well. If you can, I’d recommend using a Bluetooth controller as I’ve found the deck specific controls to not be the best. The controller UI takes a little getting used to but it is pretty good now I’ve been playing a few hours.

The biggest negative is, naturally, the graphics. It’s smooth enough, but there is just a lot of blurriness and weird edging I can’t get rid of on any setting. In the close up cut scenes that pretty much goes away. That said, I’m still having a lot of fun and none of that was a deal breaker for me. It runs significantly better than it did in EA for me.

The one ‘annoying’ thing that has happened is I’m the video cut scenes there is quite a significant audio delay. It is not there for the in-engine ones or during combat. I’ve only seen two of these though and they’re right at the start of the game. I just watched on YouTube to see them properly.
