man oh man. i got this game the day of launch and it was everything. Long-standing Elder Scrolls fan and having dabbled in the first two games a little, I loved it. Great storytelling, beautiful graphics, awesome diversity in spells and classes. I have had multiple playthroughs for different class and race combos and it was fine…
Until this patch. Hotfix 11 wrecked the Steam Deck version of it, at first it was nigh impossible to launch but with a bit of tinkering i got it to launch. Needless to say, act 3 was slow as balls. In the words of Jontron it’s like taking a romp through a field of honey. My companions stand there looking at the city like they’ve never seen bricks before today and my ass is waiting minutes for them to catch up. Once I got to Wyrm’s Rock Fortress after sludging my way through Rivington and the boondocks of town, I gave up. The game would not let me into the Lower City, I could phase through doors in the fort into a void of darkness, and my companions were fiddling about on the bridge like they were waiting in line at the DMV.
All that to say, I love this game. I miss it as it was. Whenever we get news, Larian, please deliver. There are many who are angry about this, and some like myself who are patiently waiting for the game to be restored to its glory. No hate, just awaiting a response on hotfix or patch and perhaps some verification on the silence regarding these issues.
