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.
Def worth the price tag if you got the cash in hand.
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.
No, I am a poor.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to wait for a good sale before I can justify buying yet another game to add to my backlog. I still have entire franchises I want to finally get to.
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.
Yeah OK, that's what I thought from the specs. Thanks. Idk where OP's 54gb comes from then.
125+ here...
In retrospect I think I'm an idiot and 52 gigs was what I had available before I made more space by deleting shit.
Ignore me, I'm fairly stupid today.
No worries -- I did wonder if maybe you had it on Early Access and 52 gigs was the difference with the official release.
Yeah EA was 50 something gigs and the full release was over 100 for me on steamdeck.
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..
I need to play with the controls options more, but I’m wondering if this is an either/or thing where you either use the “controller” scheme or you need to completely map everything for k+m. I tried to go with what seemed to be the most popular community controls and the game alerted me that the controller had disconnected; and weirdly the menu size and layout shrunk and looked different. I’d really like to use a trackpad as a mouse to have that option along with the sticks, but if not I’ll adjust to it. I’ve run into other controller issues, like where it says to hold “select” for the journal but it only works to open the map - you can still press one of the triggers to pull up a wheel with the journal, but it seems like there’s still some bugs to work out.
This is my current set up ad well and it’s rock solid.
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.
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.
It's downloading as I'm typing this comment
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.
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.
I installed with heroic Add non steam game Highlight bg3.exe or maybe dx version can’t remember now from bin directory “not launcher” Run with proton 8.0.3 I think Crashed first time but fine since
Tried this, still no go. I get this error:
[340:352:20230804,083255.364:ERROR crashpad_client_win.cc:521] CreateProcess: File not found. (2) [340:492:20230804,083259.209:ERROR crashpad_client_win.cc:132] crash server failed to launch, self-terminating
I this it has something to do with dotnet missing
I also I noticed I have
--skip-launcher
In the box for launch options in steam.
I don’t have dotnet 6 installed either and running straight from Heroic fails every time. When added thru the steam client it works.
GOG is still a thing? 🤦🏼♂️
Better GOG than EGS, IMO. Hashtag acronyms.
Why is your install twice the size mine was?
Gotta wait a few paychecks
Hah, I see you aren't an Ark Player.
