I'm playing it on my Steam Deck and I'm really liking how I've got the controls set up. I grabbed a community template and made some additions of my own. I added a virtual menu for the left trackpad and changed the right joystick to handle scrolling long text and menus.

The story is good and I'm hanging in there on Easy. I figured I'd end up going down to the Story difficulty.

What other crpg style games have you played and enjoyed? I'm trying to figure out if I should play it or give something else a shot

I think Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 are better gameplay wise but the world building and lore in Pillars is unmatched.

I wanted to check out Pillars because I think Avowed looks cool, but I do see Divinity Original Sin 2 on sale pretty frequently so I might pick it up. I'm still trying to take a big bite out of my backlog before buying more games I won't end up playing for years. (I finally played GTA5 last month.)

Personally I was a huge fan of Tyranny. It's built on the same engine as POE, but I liked the story, worldbuilding, and characters a lot more.

I also got that game for free from Amazon and I'm planning on playing that next! The premise is pretty cool!

BG3 runs like a dream on steam deck.

Until act 3 😬😬

On what settings? Mine mimics a jet engine every time I fire up BG3, no matter what settings or scaling I used so far and I already have the quieter fan in the SD.

I'm sure I'll pick it up eventually. One of my friends had to have a talk with her husband about how much she was playing that game.

BG3 isn't a bad game but it hasn't really grabbed me.

Torment: tides of Numenera plays similar to PoE, although I'm mainly recommending it because it was my gateway into the Numenera universe, itself more interesting than the OK game.

I loved the original Fallout games. Pillars is a lot like the original two Baldur's Gate games and the other games like it. Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment. Though I haven't really earnestly played any of them. I did play the Dark Alliance games when they were new and I was a kid, but those are action RPGs.

The two Pathfinder games by owlcat are also great.
