      How is it solo?

      Been considering an mmo but would want one that’s possible solo. Realize that’s counterintuitive but was curious.

        Thats the main way I play tbh.

        The voice acting is nice, but I won’t lie questing is a bit shallower than with Skyrim. Lots of collectables, horizontal progression. Its a nice package!

        It has options for group dungeons and I quite enjoyed the PvP for when you get that multiplayer itch.

        Also world chat keeps things interesting lmao.

    Damn that’s pretty awesome. So this is the actual developer of ESO, that is spending time making their game compatible with Linux?

      Not necessarily. My understanding is that you can earn a green check as long as your game feels like a native console experience, even if it’s running on Proton

    Doesn’t that game require a massive amount of storage with all the expansions/add-ons installed? Doesn’t seem very Deck friendly, IMO. Especially for base model Decks. It’s one of the main reasons I don’t bother playing BG3 on it, either.

    Edit: I just looked and can’t get a concise answer, seems like tons of players’ install size differs by notable margins. Official site says it needs roughly ~95GB plus another ~30GB during the install process (guessing for temp install files during decompression/compression). Meanwhile, some players report folder sizes ranging from ~97GB all the way up to ~150GB. Regardless, seems ~95GB is the bare minimum which is still a lot for even the 500GB Deck models. And there’s no way the game would run comfortably off an SD card.

      It’s definitely massive - I’d guess at the 90GB+ number, but I don’t think it reached 150GB. I had it installed awhile back on an SD card and I didn’t experience many problems in the game. Just takes a little longer to load new places, but the gaming experience was still smooth.

    Does it still needs eso+ subscription to be fun? I’ve heard without eso+ there was something shitty about tiny inventory space or something
