So you mean the controller on the Steam Deck does not compare to a keyboard and mouse? And don’t want to play with a controller? Why do you play it on the Steam Deck then? If not, you can still attach a keyboard to the Steam Deck. I really don’t understand your critique here.
I don’t understand what you’re getting at. I don’t mind controllers, but in my opinion the controls for BG3 on the Deck aren’t great; I mentioned the Deck because that’s what I used, I have no idea how it is with other controllers. I played it on the Deck because I own one, I own a copy of BG3, and I like playing on the go? But it wasn’t great so I moved to the PC.
I didn’t issue any critique, I just asked a question because I wanted to see if anyone had info, no need to go all fanboy.
I just ask what you were actually comparing to. If you say the controls on Deck are not great compared to PC, than you do actually just compare the gamepad controls versus keyboard right?
no need to go all fanboy.
What the hell?! Why fanboy now, I just asked for clarification.
Yeah I mean I though it was implied that I played it with a keyboard on the PC, what kind of comparison would it be, the Steam Deck is itself a big controller
I play with a controller or the Deck controls all the time, and I actually prefer the controller UI to the M&K UI; once I got used to the way everything was laid out, and how to manipulate the wheels, it just felt like a better experience to me. To answer your original question, there are no functions or information missing from the controller UI, nor is any of it particularly difficult to get to in normal play… you just have to get used to where everything is.
They are radically different UIs though, and I wouldn’t expect everyone to like them both. If you give the controller UI a solid try and it doesn’t click for you, it’s definitely okay.
Yeah I don’t play RPGs with a controller
