I have never felt as much envy as seeing someone play BG3 on an 8 hr flight. That was what sold me.

To cap it off the SOB killed Scratch and the Owlbear Cub. That flight was actual torture for multiple reasons.

Was BG3 smooth? I'm getting jealous if it was. It's a hot mess on my shitty PC.

I didn't play much of it but it ran well when I tired it. I just decided it was the type of game I wanted to plat with all the settings maxed on my laptop.

It couldn't play at max settings?

In general the Steam Deck is not the kind of device that is going to run things at max settings. You are gonna play at 720p30FPS low settings but be happy you can play at all on a train or airplane. It’s really meant to be a competitor to the Nintendo Switch than a replacement for a gaming PC.

You can stream from your PC to your couch or bed if you are at home.

Definitely not on Steam Deck.

I imagine certain scenes especially in the 3rd act would put alot of strain on the steam deck
