Would you guys recommend this for a casual gamer I love playing Zelda but rarely progress the story because I just like exploring. I know they aren’t the same game but just giving an example of how I play games. Also, never played the other games before.
Definitely. I also don’t have much time to play but then you just take a slower pace. BG isn’t some competitive online game that forces you to commit unreasonable amounts of time to it if you want to enjoy it. Although you’ll be occupied for quite a while if you take it slow because the game is huge.
For anyone else who is wondering - the game works great on the steam deck. I actually prefer it over my macbook pro because it’s easier to read the screen. I’ve gotten hours logged into the game so far.
It is a perfect update of the franchise. The storylines and writing are top notch, and the technology is blowing me away with how they managed to update everything while keeping the feel.
how’s the current state of controller support? i played a bit during EA but had been planning on waiting til the PS5 release cuz I figure the layout options would be in a better state by then.
The cool Thing about playing with Controller is, that you can play it like a 3rd Person game, which is a cool option to experience the gane in a different way. But yeah problem is that all the skills and spells are not as essy to manage as with Mouse and keyboard.
Does it save to the cloud so I can play on both?
Yup, I’ve tested windows->steam deck so far. No reason to believe it won’t work the other way around (paths seem to be compatible at least).
Does anyone know if you had to have played the first two games to understand the story? Or is it standalone, or do they catch you up on lore?
As someone who has played BG1 and 2 and is now 21 hours in the game … so far there are no references. But the story, the worldbuilding and the characters are sooo gloriously brilliant
