    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.

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

      I’d be happy if it played Owlcat RPGs at near full settings. Those games are allot more fun than BG3, imo.

      I digress though. It’d be nice to be able to play recent games again. If the deck can do that on my TV, I’m down.

        We hook our Steam Deck up to a 4k projector and it looks amazing. The built in upscaler from 800p to 4k is astonishingly good. Obviously not AS good as native but and many games are limited to 30fps but holy smokes it’s more than good enough.

          WotR for the win. never played Kingmaker. And I just got Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. I don’t understand how these games aren’t more popular.

          I feel like BG3 is big just because the camera zooms in close to the characters.

            Kingmaker is fantastic. I’m not that big a fan of Rogue Trader though. I kinda hate the Imperium of Man, in 40K I am Ork only.

            If you enjoy Owlcat then the Pillars and Tyranny from Obsidian are fantastic.

              I’m going to look up all of their games eventually. They go hard on the systems and that’s a severely lacking quality these days.

              Rogue Trader is cool, I’m only a few hours into it though. But man, the camera kills me. It’s got a weird rubber band effect to it that I don’t like.

              But it’s mostly a nice improvement, or at least some different takes, on the WotR systems. My main complaint about their games is even with auto end turn on it never automatically ends any turns.
