There isn't any obvious way to either see where your low-ass level gang can quest next and there's also no zone where you can keep grinding to build a few levels before moving on like in a Final Fantasy or something. That means while you have a giant freely accessible map, early encounters in the wrong neighbourhood will kill you dead anyway so there's still railroading going on.

I was moving the camera around without paying attention to where I clicked. Somehow, this barrel was launched onto the wall, and there it remains stuck.

I'm sure it was somehow Gale's fault. I heard him mumble something about specific gravity while talking with the brewmaster.

Apologies if this sort of post isn't allowed. So I've given BG3 a go two times now. Both times I've been excited and expected that it's likely something I'll be into. But I get down to it and I just lose steam with it pretty quickly

I was wondering if there's a point early on where it takes a big jump in engaging you and I just didn't get to that point? I didn't really get that far past the starting "spaceship" area (not sure if I should call it that), so I know I haven't given it that much of a chance. I know there'll be many places that are a lot more interesting throughout it

But I dunno, it just doesn't keep my attention. The gameplay doesn't feel that great for me personally. So if it's kinda just more of the same in terms of gameplay, just with the (no doubt) great plot unfolding and better surroundings then it might just not be for me. I mostly play soulslikes, which is obviously pretty different gameplay, and I struggle to get into most games not in that style. I just really wanted to like BG3 so don't want to write it off without asking this. Not saying it's a bad game or anything, it's clearly a masterpiece, but might just not be my thing

Baldur’s Gate 3 has been Steam Deck Verified since 2023, but with HotFix 34, Larain wanted to take things to the next level with a native Steam Deck version of the game. This new version has optimised Steam Deck settings enabled by default, and runs without needing to use Proton, the Steam Deck’s compatibility layer.

Simply put, this new version of Baldur’s Gate 3 runs more efficiently. Instead of using a compatibility layer, it now runs directly on Valve’s Steam Deck hardware. This frees up CPU and memory performance, allowing the game to run faster. This gives the game a more stable framerate, faster loading times, and smoother gameplay. [...]
