Re: Ror playable on a steam deck?

For past month I've been playing extensively on steam deck without keyboard and mouse.
Installing RoR on steam deck is really simple and the flexibility you get by the controller layout gives you tons of choices to find suitable bindings to your needs.
I'd still steer out from more complex classes, but for example WP / DOK in healing specs are more than playable. Only thing I'm currently missing are the melee skills, I could still fit those in but in many cases targetting enemy players gets really awkward so I've opted from using those that much.
Addons I'm running on deck are slightly altered vinyUI + WarTriage for easier time targetting group / wb members. If I had enough time I would make a bit more sophisticated UI to include using touch screen more while playing, ie. having potions etc around the corners instead of having to bind them to deck.
Deck can run all the content in game, even the lotd zergballs are playable.
Writing to chat is also quite hard since you have to use the virtual keyboard. I quess there would be ways around it also.
In the end it has been so much fun that I now spend 90% of my time playing on my deck instead on PC, would recommend trying out if you already have deck!
