Anyone else?

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.

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"
Also you can't do local co op at all

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 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.
That sucks! My pupper had to have surgery after eating a sock, it's the worst feeling. Hope he gets better

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
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...
- 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.
Yeah EA was 50 something gigs and the full release was over 100 for me on steamdeck.

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.

Do you think I need to play the first 2 before this one?

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😬
No, there are references and stuff to the others but it is a self contained story.
Ha. Go for it if you want.

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.
GOG is still a thing? 🤦🏼‍♂️
- Better GOG than EGS, IMO. Hashtag acronyms.

It's downloading as I'm typing this comment

Waiting on the PS5 version. Sept. 6.

Why is your install twice the size mine was?

Did you miss the memo not to allow it to just update the EA version?
- I missed that memo
- Electronic Arts?

Oh man, the controller support is so much better in the final release than in the Early Access. They even swap the entire interface to be more controller friendly. The amount of care Larian gave this game is frankly astonishing.
- Not to mention the changes just to the first couple hours I've seen: gfx, story beats, voiceovers, the woiks! 😍🤘🏼

Gotta wait a few paychecks

Hah, I see you aren't an Ark Player.
