I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m solidly in the middle of Act 2 and about to start The Winter March part 1.
I’m playing it on my Steam Deck and I’m really liking how I’ve got the controls set up. I grabbed a community template and made some additions of my own. I added a virtual menu for the left trackpad and changed the right joystick to handle scrolling long text and menus.
The story is good and I’m hanging in there on Easy. I figured I’d end up going down to the Story difficulty.
Lich seems like they have some cool unique options for them. Did you go with all the undead companions?
So far only done Azata and Aeon runs, been thinking about doing a more evil mythic path later in the year when I got time.
Oh yeah, you’ve got to go full chaotic evil for the lich. I revived Staunton Vane (it’s been a while now, that’s the dwarf with the tragic backstory who works for evil woman whose name I’ve forgotten I believe) as an undead, I had a few lich only companions who were undead (they don’t talk much though, most of them whine about being controlled if I remember right), my city was dark and almost desolate, filled almost entirely with undead subjects. My councillors, the ones still alive, were a bit terrified and hopeless. By the end my Lich was so good at supporting the undead characters that I started to just go with a full undead party. Poor enemies must’ve been terrified.
It was incredibly macabre and grim, of course, but it was so damn cool.
