I can't say I've ever cared about how a game looks.* Sure maybe it's worth discussing, but it's always the last thing on my list.

I played BG3 (Once, all the way, second time up to act 2) exclusively on my Steam Deck in handheld mode. Sure Act 3 has a little bit of lag, but nothing that ever bothered me. All the characters in the game were unique, I know Gale from Karlach from Lae'zel.

*(Discussion about art style or artistic choice being different, Pixel vs cell-shaded vs realistic etc)

Fair enough. Certainly some devs spend a ton of time making games look incredible so there's obviously a bunch of users like me who do appreciate that, and also many who don't!

I wouldn't say don't.

If your game can't look good on the lowest settings then there's an art-direction problem, not that BG3 has that issue.
