I just can’t wait for FSR2.2 which I hope and assume will be better than 1.0 which is absolute trash. I just can’t see shit with that turned on. The only time it’s acceptable is maybe at higher settings which basically bring no fps benefit. I’ve been really happy with everything on Low, no FSR, TAA and max FX Sharpening and unlocked framerate. Looks really crisp. But obviously I welcome future optimizations.

This probably isn’t what you want to hear but you can make a really really great split setup using SteamInput. The only reason I haven’t used it for the final game is because I play a lot on desktop, not just Deck and I don’t have a steam controller. But on Deck with its trackpads I can access most of the UI and still have the trackpads for selecting items and combat. I guess the only big thing you can’t do is move the party with the left stick, but they didn’t bother me too much. I think I might prefer it to either purely kb/m or controller setups.

I’m not going to lie, this game is pretty tough at first when you don’t understand the systems. I played all of their previous game Dos2 and I used to play a bit of 5e and I still found it surprisingly difficult. There’s also a lot going on on screen with passive checks rolling all the time. It’s just a lot. That being said it is absolutely worth it to slog through and learn everything there is to know. This is absolutely a game worth knowing if it seems up your alley. I highly recommend checking out videos from Fextralife, WolfheartFPS and Mortismal on YouTube. They all have great coverage of the game and you will learn a ton.

I’ll leave you with one video I would recommend to beginners that covers the combat system in BG3. https://youtu.be/EjGMn3e3NVo

This is such a huge improvement over the base Lemmy theme. I just need a light theme now!
