Oh hell yes: Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 are getting full-fat gamepad support and you can try it right now
This is an absolutely massive day for PC Gamer writers called Joshua Wolens.
Obsidian Entertainment has announced that Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 will soon receive full controller support for PC gamers using devices like Steam Deck. The company has opened up Steam betas for both games, allowing users to try out the new feature starting November 4. While the beta versions are currently buggy, players have reported that the isometric CRPGs adjust remarkably well to non-keyboard-and-mouse controls.
Obsidian also announced patches 1.3.10.0 for Pillars of Eternity 1 and 5.1.0.0 for Deadfire, with the latter receiving significant updates to its turn-based mode. The patches aim to smooth out minor UI issues and improve overall gameplay.
