Is there any reason why I shouldn’t buy FO4 goty from GOG instead of steam? You can still customize controls perfectly fine and all the mods/expansions still work? It won’t play any differently to a steam bought game except it will be in non-steam games?

I know games usually work fine, but I haven’t bought a new game from GOG since I got my steamdeck, so I’m nervous.

    Thanks.

    Steam input, meaning the easy way to select control options, instead of having to link to a keyboard button?

      The only thing having a native steam game gets you is the community submitted layouts for steam input, and you can get those pretty easily with some messing with game titles. Even without any of that, though, you can edit the controls to whatever you want.

      Exactly, yeah. It’s not super important, like in FO4 idk how helpful it’d be, but it’s a game changer sometimes. I played through Kotor on the Deck by using Steam Input, and made it feel practically native with next to no effort.

        Works with non-Steam games as well. I even had community profiles for Diablo 2. You just have to give the game the correct name and it should just work™.

        Yeah, fallout isn’t that complicated. I’ve configured a number of keyboard strategy games, so this should be easy compared to those if I go that route. Thanks.
