It’s heavily discounted on Steam today, but I’ve heard the EA launcher causes issues when playing/launching on Deck?
What’s it really like?

ME1 works fine but I’m finding the frame rate inconsistent.
Indoors, 60 but stuttering to 58. Outdoors, 40 - 49.
I’ve set it to 40 locked when undocked, but it still drops and stutters to 37 when changing scenes.
Docked, the frame limit on the Deck is released and you e only the in game framerate limiters, which is 30 or 60.
It’s unreal Engine, it’s expected to get the occasional frame time spike here and there especially when loading a new area. A top tier machine would have those same spikes, mass effect 1 does tend to have some more spikes, though. I never had issues that bad in the first game, I was using 4GB VRAM and cryoutilities 2.0.
As for frame rate I got 60 indoors and about low 50s to 60 outdoors. However, i was hitting 60 more often than not. There is one specific area in the citadel (not a combat area) where FPS drops to the low 40s.
Mass effect 2 and 3 are flawless, you shouldn’t drop below 60fps at all. Small frame time spikes only occurring when loading a new area.
I played all games at 50hz to extend the battery life.
Good stuff. I’m happy to plod through 1 if 2 works well enough.
