I just wonder why people are torturing themselves with BG3 on the Deck. I started playing it but decided not to ruin my experience and switched to a PC

It runs great. No idea what your issue is.

I've also tried running this in my deck a few different times and I can't get it to run at a consistent frame rate no matter what my graphics are set to. What are you using? Maybe I'm configuring it wrong

I've got everything on low except for FSR 2 (Ultra Quality), Textures (Medium) and Anisotropic Filtering (4x).

I don't get "consistent" framerates either. Everything between 30 and 50 is possible, depending on the area. But it's definitely playable.

Edit: And I'm running the dx11 version as the Vulkan one is unstable.

How are the controls? I assumed, it was mainly a keyboard+mouse game.

It has a completely different interface for controller play. In some ways it's even superior to keyboard+mouse. Like, you can hold down A (or X on PlayStation) and search in a radius around you and then get a list of all interactable objects around you.

You can change between the two interfaces by pushing a button on the respective device. So if you prefer the keyboard+mouse interface for some things you can easily get it.

I've only played with a controller, so it's crazy to think this feature doesn't exist for K+M, but I guess it makes sense.

Pretty good, actually. I play it couch co-op with an Xbox style controller. Keyboard and mouse work great as well.

Larian did a good job with it.
