    Wife and I are loving it but it needs some tunning for sure. Performance struggles and crashes are pretty common, and my wife clipped through a door just after the tutorial section. Didn’t do anything crazy, just walked right on through a locked door.

        I3 12100f, gtx 1060 3gb, and ssd on Linux. We since switched to steam deck where we have only had 1 crash. I should be hitting a bit over the minimum specs but my bet is I was running out of vram in cutscenes where the detail is higher.

          4GB of VRAM is in the minimum requirements, seeing as you have a 12th gen Intel you really might want to look at getting a GPU upgrade. You can find used 6600/XT’s or 6700’s for pretty cheap and that would roughly double (or more) your performance in pretty much every game.

            That is a good catch, I clearly glossed over that. I recently gave most of my rig a facelift as I was bottlenecked by my old CPU. A GPU is 100% next in line but thankfully we’re still enjoying the game on our Decks.

        you can directly target allies with health potions to pick them up btw. It might need a surface under it to apply the healing though, I’ve never tested it on someone floating lol. healing spells will always work though, especially

        spoiler; spell name

        mass healing word

        which doesn’t require you to target them directly.

          I mean a full death that requires a ‘touch’ distance to use a resurrection scroll, not just a ‘mostly dead’ character. ;)
