So considering trying to set up a couch gaming eGPU with my 4K LG Oled I have. Thinking I would either purchase a GPU and simply mount it to one of the eGPU enclosures or possibly interested in the all in one brick styles I’ve seen. It would not be portable, it would live under the TV.

Any recommendations of what to look for? Avoid?

NOTE: I run bazzite! So part of what I would need to learn is about any implications this has, from some basic research it reads like this can complicate things a lot with drivers, proton layers etc etc.

Hoping someone can tell me to just push in but here’s where I’m at;

I’ve done the first three opening chapters to introduce the 3 big bads. I’m enjoying it so far but I just can’t get my head around a couple of things in particular.
They seemingly decided to strip back on things, I can’t stand when a franchise does this!

For example they have removed monster hunting entirely? Hunters are now just a non-special class?

They also removed secondary jobs and made it so all characters except the protagonist are bound to one job.

I know I’m being picky but those things were important to me in the first games.

Perhaps there’s other systems coming that I don’t know about and I should push on? Am I being pedantic?
I just sorta feel like the progression isn’t as deep this time around. Does the town building tie into the combat somehow?

Edit:
Wow lot of responses here. Thanks!
Seems like I’m not the only one left wanting a little more on this one. Still, also sounds as though there’s more to this game once it opens up and one starts to play with the master skills and the dipping of skills around a new character’s build. I will come back to this game, for now I think I’m actually going to go play 2 again.

I mainly play JRPGs including old school and new, so not usually tooooo demanding but the newer ones do require a bit of punch I find.

Having bazzite on my LeGo 1 and playing Octopath 0 has really got me considering the upgrade. Been very disappointed with the FPS, only been able to get 60fps stable with high settings (720p) on 20W. Too high a wattage I feel, battery gets hot and is loud.

My question, anyone who’s upgraded - what has your experience been like moving to the new model, particularly around the improvement in low Watt gaming?
I try to game on 4W the lowest or 8W maximum (these aren’t supposed to be particularly demanding games!)

I prioritise battery over fidelity so the improvement on Low watt gaming (as I’ve read) has me very excited.

Budget not a concern, plus, I also LOVE OLEDS.

Thanks!!!

Have a monk who who I’m trying to make his barehanded attacks stronger, this support ability isn’t increasing the number for me?
Weird because it’s not like barehanded doesn’t get improved by this (or so I thought) because putting a Diamond Bracelet improves his PA? What am I missing?

Edit:Good community in here! Got my answer, so it would appear some boosts like the passives don’t fiddle with the number stat in menu but is calculated after the fact in battle by simply increasing the output. Think this applies to magick boost as well etc.
What a game!!

How’s it run? Or horizon 5 for that matter?
