You can try launching the game without Steam. If Larian truly wants to provide a DRM-free experience, I see no reason not to have the Steam version be DRM-free.

Getting it on steam because I want my steam controller to work right.

I forgot that the DRM layer of Steam is optional. I hope the game supports this.
How do you find the Steam controller for RPGs?

It's fine if it's turn based like Shadowrun or XCOM and New Vegas is slow paced enough (with VATS) that it works fine there too. Don't think it'd work will PIllars or BG though.
I mainly use it for health reasons - I use a mouse and keyboard a lot as part of my day job and don't want to get RSIs by using mouse and keyboard more in the evenings and weekends.
No controller support at all in the early access though.

Why did you think that was a good idea?

I wanted to redeem the code then and there and get it out of the way since I would have to wait for the GOG code.
I don't know about Steam Controllers, but I always thought that reflex based gameplay is easier with keyboard and mouse than with a general purpose controller like Xbox. Hell I play OutRun 2 better in my PC than at the local arcade. (Though to be fair the wheel there is kinda broken)

Your opinion is wrong.
The armor system is such an improvement that it's going to be hard for me to go back to plain healthbar games where planning ahead is impossible because CC is based on die rolls.

Infinitron, what do you "disagree" with? I linked to the Red Prince one like 30 minutes after they posted it on Cuckbook yesterday. And they are in Europe, not everyone in the world is in 'Murica.

Have they said anything about the ability to explore and skip combat encounters until a later time?
In OS you oftend had to follow a narrow path until you were forced to enter combat if some mobs blocked the way.
In short: will there be more 'open' areas that one can explore, instead of small level gated areas?

In EA it's the same as OS1
No combat speed slider is also p. fucking decline. Every, and I do mean every, TB game should have that. D:OS 1 combat was so fucking slow at times. I was literally throwing money at the screen to get them to implement a combat speed slider.
Like, yeah, the first 1-5 times you watch the animations and shit, it's cool, the 99th time? Not so much. Some of the animations take so fucking long to finish, I could write a novel and finish another study at Uni before its over, and it's extremely tedious to sit through.
I know one of the most successful mods to something like x com 1 + 2, is the mod that removes animation lag/time and speeds up the game immensly.
But eh, I guess it wouldn't be possible to write crazy selling slogans on your game reviews then. 80 HOUR GAMEPLAY+++!
Yeah, if you count all the hours spend watching combat animations finish, bitch!

If you had a stealthy character you could often sneak past, then bring everyone to them with the Teleportation pyramids, but yea that was a little annoying sometimes, when you just wanted to get to your destination.
Have they mentioned the pyramids? and if there will be a home base at all? I love having a base to develop during an RPG

You get your own boat at some point. That might be the home base.
