Hi, lovely people! I have around 600+ hours on BG3, so yes, I am definitely enjoying it a lot. However, I’m trying to think of what to play next. A few people have recommended Cyberpunk to me, so I did get that, and it runs well. Nooot sure how I like it just yet. Are there any other, like, RPG games, that have character customization, that also run well on the deck?

Thank you in advance! Apologies if this isn’t the right sub to post this on, I haven’t been on Reddit in a hot minute.

      Hot take, I actually prefer 1. Feels more cohesive / complete as a game, plus it runs a LOT better. I finished 2 playthroughs of 1, never finished 2.

      1 is certainly good, but 2 is basically “everything you loved from 1, but prettier and bigger.” So people tend to go for that one.

          1s story was a bit of a silly afterthought. 2s story is more meaty (the characters are unique and presage to bg3) but still pretty silly. Both games are about systems and scenarios more than a plot.

          Yes, but this is not really a story driven game (and to the extent that it is, the story from 2 is much better than the story from one). The story is an excuse to shoot aliens.

        I definitely liked the story of the first one more, and the party members and most of the NPCs. But the mechanics and cohesion of 2 is a lot better. I’m not sure how well the first would play on the Steam Deck; its controller support is pretty rough IIRC.
