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.

Gamedec?
Pillars of Eternity are nice
Pillars of Eternity
Immediate yes. Immediate add to cart.
Fable Anniversary plays lovely & has great humour - nothing like BG3, I don’t think but it’s a buttery smooth game with chuckles.
Diablo 4
The new Shadowrun games are excellent! VERY low-power CRPGs with a nice aesthetic.
Fallout 1 and 2 are good bets, too. They’re old enough that you pretty much have to just rely on your touchpads, but if you don’t mind that they’re fantastic CRPGs that run shockingly well on the Deck. For that matter, Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 all run really well.
Shadowrun
Shadowrun looks like my exact cup of tea. I got Fallout 4 a while back but didn’t progress much. Need to try it again.
IMO BG3 looks and plays like garbage on the Steam Deck, there is so much FSR processing involved that the game looks bad in many areas. Not to mention the controls are horrendous coming from a keyboard and mouse.
Personally, I’d play Dragon Age: Origins :)
I can’t for the life in me get any of the dragon age games playing on steam deck!
Pathfinder, Wrath of the righteous.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister. Less good graphics and voice acting than BG3 but more accurate D&D 5e rules and still great. From a very small developer who have done a great job.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister
It looks so good?!?! I’m stoked. Definitely getting this.
pathfinder: wrath of the righteous
pillars of eternity
Tyranny
Divinity Original Sin
Wasteland 3
Try playing star ocean the second story r. Its a remaster and it has a demo on steam. Give it a look. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2238900/STAR_OCEAN_THE_SECOND_STORY_R/
Oh my gosh it looks so nostalgic… definitely downloading the demo stat
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 Dragon Age Origins Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2… Solasta…
A lot of them
Disco Elysium, divinity original sin 2, wasteland 3
Baldurs Gate 1 and 2
oh DOY? Why didn’t I think of that (not sarcastic, just genuinely why didn’t I think to play 1/2). Have you played it? Is it good?
I played/am playing BG1 on Deck, and it runs perfectly and with battery life out the wazoo to boot. I don’t expect BG2 would be any worse either since the Steam versions are the Enhanced Edition, which all use the exact same engine.
Only thing to be aware of is that you need to use a community control scheme or make your own, since these do not have native gamepad support.
Oh, and be prepared to look things up before/while playing, because these games are pretty old school. But IMO very worth it still in 2023.
Jesus Christ 600 HOURS??? … Maybe I should check it out.
Well, I mean I like it! Plus, I loooOOooooOOooove character customization so even when I’m not actually playing, I’m downloading mods to just make characters for hours
Wasteland 3
Divinity Original Sin (both, tho 1 is a bit dated, but still very good)
Shadowrun
Wasteland 3 is so fucking good.
waaashed iiin the blooood of the laaamb
How do you play it on the deck? With the trackpad or is it possible to play it with controller controls?
Massively backing up Wasteland 3.
Incredible game.
Shadowrun is such a good series.
