I wish. Don't think I can justify the price yet! Enjoy though. Getting amazing reviews.
Same. Not because it isn't necessarily worth it, but because I'm broke.
Just a note for all y'all Deckers, set Proton Experimental in settings to get it to boot.
Thanks for this! I just got home from work and was about to do some research on which version I needed to get things working.
I'm on my linux desktop, but Proton Experimental was set for me by default. Maybe you got "run other titles with:" under compatibility settings set to something else?
Edit: seems like Valve has now chosen Proton Hotfix for BG3. Says "Proton Hotfix selected by Valve testing"
There's no way this game should be 100GB for the deck. They should have done what Blizzard did with D4 and offered it without the 4k texture pack bloat.
What is it?
Baldur’s Gate 3
I will say to the people saying it's too expensive I hear you but and I'm sure in a while down the road it will be cheaper but this is totally THE game studio that's worth $60 for how many hours you can get out of this game.
Also I have to be done with my playthrough by the time we get great mods that add infinite replayability.
I woke up and remote downlaoded using my phone and went back to sleeeeeep. But i just found out my dog has congestive heart failure so I haven't been able to enjoy it :(
I am sorry to hear that. My cat got diagnosed with a heart condition too recently. It just sucks. I recommend taking a few days off if you can and spending some quality time with your doggo.
Best wishes to you and your dog, dear stranger.
Let us know how it runs on Deck!
I turned it to proton experimental and set everything to low and it's OK at 40 so far. You get lots of effects early so it might stay stable-ish.
I have mine set to medium with FSR at Ulta and I think it's pretty good. Need to play more to test other options though
I'll probably play with settings again. At the point I had it yesterday, I had forgotten to make a space so had to waste time moving games around, then had 10MBb/s for an hour until resetting my router to get 40 and start making progress, so I really just wanted to play.
I wanted to verify that it's playable. The controller support is a little bit of an adjustment but I don't think it's bad.
Controller support is actually quite cool. Seems like they built a whole new layout just for controllers (which makes sense because they're gonna have this on Xbox/PlayStation). It's a bit off putting after coming from DoS2 but quickly grows on you.
I want to try and see if I can use the track pad as a mouse instead of the thumb stick though. Would make exploring and navigating menus a bit faster..
Not great. Have to drop it down to 540 with the Deck's FSR because the in game FSR makes it look incredibly blurry. Also, the FPS cap in game sucks, so you have to do it using the Deck, which adds a ton of input lag.
I didn't have early access, I bought it straight from steam today. It was 54gb and change 🤷🏻♂️
I wish there was a way to find the actual download size. It says 100+ gigs in the system requirements, which actually put me off from it on a metered connection. 54 is much more doable.
On PC, the download size is 100GB, install size is 122Gb, and the devs recommend 150GB, probably for saves and potentially mods one day.
125+ here...
What game is this?
Baldur’s Gate 3
Oh. It looked like some kickass kung-fu comedy game at first. :(
Oh man. It took me two hours in the character creation screen and one of those two hours was spent deciding on what custom character I was going to play.
Haven’t looked up anything on BG3 and made myself forget that it released in EA a couple of years ago. So far, I’m just utterly amazed by it. Probably going to spend way too much time, that I don’t have, on it. Worth the wait so far.
Whatever you do, DON'T get all the way to nearly completing a character and then change subrace. 😭 Back to zero.
Downloading it on my Deck now and can’t wait to see how it plays! They said FSR2 is coming soon, so hoping that’ll help with performance.
Waiting on the PS5 version. Sept. 6.
I bought it from GOG, can't make it run =`(
Can you add it as a non steam game and force proton experimental? That's what worked for me for the steam version.
I installed using heroic, tried using proton experimental with no results. Then added to steam and lauched forcing PE with no luck either.
Someone in some forum said something about installing a package with winetricks and now when I launch it thinks I'm using windows 7.
It screwed my install and I'm too lazy to reinstall. I'm thinking about refunding.
Refund and chalk it up to a lesson learned about trying to support developers that don't even attempt to support you.
My grandpa always told me to 'vote with your wallet'.
Do you think I need to play the first 2 before this one?
No, there are references and stuff to the others but it is a self contained story.
No, as far as I know there are just some references to the older games. But to understand the story they are not necessary. A general knowledge about Dnd is helpful though.
I've got all my knowledge from random tiktoks on my for you page, so pray for me😬
