      How is it with a controller? Is it similar to Diablo IV at all? Never really played any of them but want to get into one (or both, funds/time allowing).

        I played early access for a while. There’s no controller support yet, but I’m hoping the August release has it enabled already. Supposedly it was implemented well in DoS2 so I’m hopeful it will be just as good in BG3. Currently though, I got a little exasperated with the UI in early access. There were some keyboard and mouse options that were super tedious to try to do with my steam deck (right click and select multiples was a pain, canceling battle actions…) Nevertheless, I found the gameplay to be sterling if I didn’t consider my limitations at the time of trying to use a controller and read the tiny print.

        DoS2 is decent with controller… I didn’t love having to scroll through hotbars but it works fine!

        In the recent BG3 Town Hall, the devs using controllers had radial menus, which would already be a big improvement. Looks like they made better implementation since they created it from the ground up, as opposed to retrofitting console controls into their existing game like they did with DoS2.

        I tried, I’ve thought about giving another shot. I generally like RPGs but something about how crpgs handle movement + the zoomed out perspective just breaks my immersion.

        That and I forgot my objectives constantly and the journal wasn’t any help lmao

          Honestly, I’m mostly the same. Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter, Pillars of Eternity, I can never enjoy them, but Larian games are so good, so refined
