#3What were the chances? I installed Planescape Torment last night, to play around a bit with it. It's been sitting in my "to-try" list for at least 15 years!
I'm however not very fond of having to sit down on my desk to play games with keyboard and mouse, though... I already spend enough of my life sitting in the exact same position for work. That alone discourages me from playing several old games I own (and not so old, like the newer X-Com) and even the newer Monkey Island game (which of course is sitting in the same list for some years now too)

Well, if there's one game worth your time, PS:T is probably it. Arguably one of the best cRPGs of all time.

Seems like this is the problem Steam Deck solves.

How do you replace a mouse with it?
Is it with a touchscreen or knobs on the side?
I think I would still miss a mouse for precision and speed with that ..

If it helps, I've played PS:T on an ipad and it was playable.

It has a touchscreen, two joysticks and two touchpad likes surfaces, you can configure them how you like.
However the screen is 7 inches and text in games like this or early Fallouts is too small for me, so I planned to use SD for them but resigned.

Most of the Infinity Engine games play very well on a Windows tablet with an active stylus.
Unfortunately, PST is an early iteration of the engine and I had problems with inventory manipulation --- not sure if that was ever addressed.

The Steam Deck came to completely replace my gaming on PC precisely because of this, but mouse+keyboard type games are a mixed bag of experiences... depends a lot on each game.
This one seems to run great, touch screen probably helps a lot. Only complaints seem to be small text on screen:

I also wasn't able to adapt to first person shooters, after a life of playing with mouse, it is almost impossible for me to not feel that gamepad controls are clunky.
