I have an Intel Macbook as my main computer. I got a PS5 as my gaming machine and I play with it attached to a 27" computer monitor.
I wasn't sure whether to purchase BG3 for PS5, or wait until my next-gen Macbook for keyboard and mouse.
I tried to like Sims 4 on console -- and I just didn't. I tried to `git gud' with the UI -- and I just didn't. I recently looked for a list of software that supported keyboard and mouse on console and saw that Sims 4 enabled it with a patch in 2019 or thereabouts. I played it a bit on PS5 and it looks and plays so much smoother than it ever has for me on any of my Macbooks. It is such a nicer an experience, for me, to play it with keyboard and mouse.
-- I wish Baldur's Gate 3 let me play with the computer UI and keyboard and mouse on my PS5 --
I purchased the game (again) for PC / Macbook. Not for my current Intel Macbook (it wasn't promised that it would work) -- but for my next gen Macbook (or maybe a Thinkpad...) Anyway... Point is... I should be able to play it at some point in my life. Perhaps it was a silly time to buy it -- Game will get cheaper?? Yes... But perhaps this can contribute towards someone who is more tech savy than me being able to assist with the PC UI being an option that is made available for people on consoles? I don't know about how easy / hard that is in fact.
I was able to get it running on my current Intel Macbook on all of the lowest settings. It really was striking to me how much the UI on console is a barrier to my enjoyment and immersion in the game.
Don't get me wrong, I have more than 100 hours in it and I likely will keep playing it... But inventory management feels like a chore and looting from drop down menus does,too. I don't know how many people are playing from computer monitors rather than being hooked up to 4k monitors from 40 feet away, or whatever it is that they do, but other may appreciate the option, too?
