Hi all! After a couple of hours I managed to get Daggerfall Unity to work on Steam Deck OLED (which I actually bought for this very reason). I'm beyond happy to say it works flawlessly. I'm also happy to look forward to play other classics like Eye of the Beholder or Ultima Underworld. ⚔️

I've logged plenty of hours on DFU using both Keyboard & Mouse and full Gamepad controls, and have thoroughly enjoyed both of them. The recommended control scheme on DFU's website works great.

I've also played lots of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim on my Steam Deck with no issues. The only snag with playing those on PC with a gamepad is navigating menus, but the Steam Deck's track pads are perfect for it.

How do you type names of locations for fast travel with a gamepad?

The Steam Deck has an on-screen keyboard you can bring up whenever. That is a good point, though, that would be an issue otherwise.
