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 think they were playing at a low res. 720p or maybe 480p. That said they didn't even have stuttering. It was really impressive.

Mine is still on order haven't got it yet.

Steam Deck screen is only 800p so that's the resolution for all games. And it's perfect for the screen size.

I'm so glad Valve did not give in to the tech-number-nerds who want 2K resolution on tiny screens, saves so much battery life.

Like I said it was clear and smooth. I don't expect 4k in a handheld. Portable is it's own metric.

Yep quite right, I was just clarifying because you said "low res. 720p or maybe 480p" - the Steam Deck is 800p native. Total agreement.
