[Discussion] Do you still use your Steam Deck much? (k.fe.derate.me)

I was wondering how much you are using your Steam Deck? And did the games you play on it change since you bought it?

I find that I used it a lot when I first got it, but my usage has gone down in the mean time. That's mostly because I play games that are not a great fit for the Steam Deck (strategy, building, etc.) and I prefer to play those on my PC.

A whole bunch. After watching Fallout on Prime, I was inspired to try the series again (started and stopped both FO:NV and 4 several times in the past). I've played through all of Fallout 3, NV, and their DLCs, and I'm currently in the Nuka World dlc in 4. They all run fabulous on the deck. I work from home, so the thought of gaming in the very same chair I've been in for 8 hrs is unappealing. But lounging on the couch with my deck is fantastic!

I'm in the same boat but having a blast with FO76. I'm glad I waited since the rocky launch back in 2018 - while the game is still far from perfect, it's a lot of fun to play and Bethesda did a good job fixing up the game.

Is the game still only multiplayer without any NPCs?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

It's server-based so you need to be online to play. However you can pretty much play it solo without interacting with other players (which is how I generally play it, save the occasional events and challenges).

They've added significant amount of content post-launch which includes new locations, NPCs, missions etc so it's not too bad, although I would say NPCs aren't as well put together as other Fallout games.
