DA:O is still by far best RPG ever made. BG3 is only game that got close to it. Since release day I have fall in love with this game and I re-play it every year or two and it ever gets boring. Unfortunately game requires some thinkering to run stable. Once you past that you are in for a ride. Pre EA Bioware was something else.
One of my favourite JRPGs of all time. I have put 100 of hours in this game as a kid and I can see my selfe do it again. This game got everything, compelling story, lovable characters, amazing music and art style, even better battle system, humour etc. Game works on linux via Heroic launcher on desktop and steam deck without problems. On desktop you need to chage Environment Variables in Heroic or it wont launch (click on game, chose game settings and go to Advanced) In Variable name put WINEDLLOVERRIDES and in Value ddraw=n,b;dinput=n,b On steam deck i suggest to add game in Steam as non steam game so you can configure controls because you only get keyboard layout.
