    Larian are really the only ones that play nice with a controller.

    I understand that a lot of people play at literal desktops and prefer mouse/keyboard, but a lot more (regardless of PC split, it’s also almost all console owners) would rather play with a controller. Having an official control scheme for one is meaningful to broad adoption.

      I found out by accident that Disco Elysium plays surprisingly well with a controller. It’s kinda nice to just lean back and play that game.

      They are also the ones doing multiplayer as far as I can tell. After my singleplayer playthrough I have two other ones going with different groups and it is just as much if not more fun.

      BG3 plays awesome on both kn and mouse and a controller!

      It reminds me of a few other games that are able to do both, and makes me sad how many game devs over focus on one or the other (probably due to crunch, but still).

      The beam dog remasters on switch have pretty good controller support. It’s a piss off that those controls don’t exist in the PC versions, discovering that after attempting to play on steam deck

      I thought Pathfinder kingmaker and Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous supported controllers? I haven’t played them yet but intend to if I ever manage to put down bg3 (400 hours and 5.5 plays in, lmao)

        They both do, I’ve played both on console. Honestly had more issues playing BG3 than either Pathfinder control-wise (mostly aiming between different heights). They’re grander in scale than BG3, and less open world (there’s an overworld map you use to get between different places), but they’re just as good. In Wrath of the Righteous I became a lich queen who ruled a continent, had a city full of undead minions and armies of them too. It’s highly recommended.

        I know you didn’t ask, I just love that game.
