Dragon Age: Inquisition is generally playable on the Steam Deck and Linux systems, but may require some tweaks or workarounds.
According to the search results:
The game is listed as “Unsupported” on the Steam Deck, meaning it may not work perfectly out of the box[1][5]. However, many users report being able to run it successfully with some adjustments.
To get it running smoothly, users recommend using the Proton Experimental compatibility layer and downloading community controller profiles[1]. This allows the game to recognize the Steam Deck controls properly.
On Linux systems in general, the game can run via Proton or Wine, but may require tweaking settings or using community fixes[5]. The ProtonDB website rates it as “Gold” for Linux compatibility with some minor issues[1].
Common issues reported include the game not launching initially, controller issues, and some performance hiccups during cutscenes[1][2]. But overall, with the right setup, many find it very playable.
So in summary, while not officially supported, Dragon Age: Inquisition can be made to run well on the Steam Deck and Linux through community efforts and compatibility layers like Proton[1][5]. Some tinkering may be required, but many users have had success getting this game running smoothly on these platforms.
