For me the game still isn't "fine." It's a lot more stable now but even with a completely fresh install and save I'm still running into a lot of the problems that was present during launch like all the civilians looking the same regardless of the setting you're on, NPCs running into each other and then choking up sections of the map. I just keep running into these NPC blobs where they just stand there and do nothing. There's still things they said they fixed like npcs materializing out of nowhere.

I'd enjoy using the m30 a bit more if they fixed some of the problems, otherwise that dpad is among one of my favorites to use. The lack of pivot really kills the dpad for me since it's so easy to depress all 4 buttons at the same time. Mine had another problem develop which made the dpad unusable since it kept sticking. If you enjoy a 6 button pad you might as well go for a fight stick since most controllers have some significant problems for me.

I've heard good things about the Victrix controller and the Octa (although the octa has some qc problems). The Raion would've been an amazing controller but it suffers a lot of the same problems the m30 has. The Fighting Commander is probably my favorite of the bunch.

The biggest requirement, imo, is probably just having an SSD for the game. There's a LOT of pop ins and textures that just don't load until a few minutes later. It does have a "slow HDD mode" but it hasn't really done much from what I can see.

I've gotten away with even harder to run games on a HDD but even if it is on an SSD, I've found it to be inconsistent plus only BG3 acts up compared to everything else I have going.

A modern alternative is Songs of Conquest. It has a pretty active community but it's always good to have more players.

With open world games, I don't care where I go or what I do most of the time because it's just a giant sandbox for me. My issue though is when I return to something so vast, like in Pillars of Eternity, after a while I don't know what to do and I'm overwhelmed by all these quests to keep track of. Even with games like Subnautica I need to focus on just beating it in a few weeks. Then theres Factorio... I'll never understand what I was previously up to because suddenly all my previously laid out plans seemed so dumb.

It's a great game but there IS a catch that wasn't mentioned.

The devs plan on implementing one of the more intrusive Anti-Cheats (Face It Anti Cheat) which doesn't work on Linux which also stops all Steam Deck users from playing. It also forces you to disable virtualization on windows. I can't recall the last time I had to go into bios to disable an option to turn off important windows features.

According to their stream, it's non-negotiable and will be added regardless of what the community wants. But they did mention that community servers would be able to pick which Anti Cheat they wanted to use?

In the servers browser I've noticed some community ones but there are only a few and mostly in different regions. Hopefully they will open it up for more players to host soon.

It's the one device where it's a joy to use the dpad. After using it I'm still trying to find one that comes close to how good the dpad functions.
