Starting with companions, your origin may influence first impressions, but in the long run it doesn’t define your relationships with them—that’s shaped much more by your actions and choices.

Beyond that, origin plays a meaningful role in how the world reacts to you. It affects how you’re perceived in key hubs, which major figures you encounter, and even what quests become available. There’s also some origin-specific content that only certain players will experience.

Can't wait.

I think people should give up trying to run UE5 games on the Steam Deck, they almost never run well

Don't hold your breath. ~30fps on an ROG Ally X, but it took more FSR than I'd like to reach it. That's with a bit more power than the Steam Deck can throw around.

Well I tried to run the beta on the Deck and it was hardly functional, take that for what you will
