A Widely Ignored Baldur's Gate 3 Trick Could Save You Gold At The Merchant

Lee D'Amato — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 19:00:17 GMT

One overlooked Baldur's Gate 3 feature could easily save players thousands of gold, if they would only learn to manipulate it. There's plenty to buy and plenty to sell in the Forgotten Realms, and the flow of commerce all centers on BG3's diverse range of merchants. They're quite a departure from the usual RPG approach to shopping: instead of carrying the same inventory of generic potions and tools, with incrementally improving weapons and armor as the game goes on, many merchants have inventories full of rare, one-of-a-kind items. They're a reliable source of gear, and always worth checking when the party arrives in a new town.

Cyberpunk 2077 Hidden Dogtown Location Reveals More Lore About An Important Decision

Lee D'Amato — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 18:00:17 GMT

A secret area in Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC reveals much of the backstory behind a previous mission. Phantom Liberty adds a whole new region to Cyberpunk's map, being set entirely in a previously unexplored region of Night City called Dogtown. It's a former vacation playground for the ultrarich that was taken over by the private militia BARGHEST and its tyrannical leader Alex Hansen. It's the one part of Night City where government agencies have no sway, but that doesn't mean there's any less corruption. Compared to Cyberpunk's map, Phantom Liberty's looks pretty small - but it's extremely condensed, and there are many things to do in Dogtown.

All 4 Hogwarts Legacy Common Rooms, Ranked Worst To Best

Carrie Lambertsen — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 17:00:20 GMT

The overall design of the iconic castle in Hogwarts Legacy is beautifully crafted and gives players a sense of truly being a part of the Hogwarts experience. This is especially true for common rooms, with each of the four having its own design theme to set it apart and reflect the values of that respective House. Depending on where the player is sorted, they will essentially have that common room as their home away from home at Hogwarts. The Hogwarts Legacy common rooms are a place to meet up with other wizarding students, practice spells, and just relax and enjoy a cozy, home-like environment after a long day of school.

D&D In 2024: A Never-Ending Dungeons & Dragons Edition Is A Major Problem

Derek Garcia — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 16:00:16 GMT

Revised core rulebooks for Dungeons & Dragons could be released in mid-2024, but the continued aim to create a never-ending edition of the game shows Wizards of the Coast has grown out of touch with DnD’s fans, and the tabletop RPG hobby at large. This year saw the company burn bridges with many consumers over its attempt to create a more draconian OGL that would severely impact third-party gaming products. Though this was eventually walked back, the breach of trust is difficult for many to forget. Investor-targeted statements about DnD being “under-monetized” raised further red flags, but the ongoing push for a perpetual edition remains the biggest misstep.

The Legend of Zelda Games In 2024 Should Have You Worried

Lee D'Amato — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 13:00:18 GMT

The current state of The Legend of Zelda series is concerning, to say the least. In recent years, the franchise has seen one hit after another. From the genre-defining success of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, to classic remakes and remasters like Skyward Sword and Link's Awakening on the Switch, to new concepts and spin-offs that take the series in a totally different direction, it's safe to say that The Legend of Zelda is as lively, popular, and interesting as it's ever been.

Wordle, the five-letter word guessing game that has taken the world by storm, challenges players each day to figure out the winning word.

All God Of War Games Playable On PS5 Right Now

Kyle Gratton — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 21:00:20 GMT

The unexpected release of DLC for God of War's latest has brought even more of Kratos' journey to the PlayStation 5. Ever since the PlayStation 2 era, God of War has been one of Sony's flagship franchises for its line of consoles and handhelds. The last two console generations saw something of a reinvention for the series, starting with 2018's simply-titled God of War, a soft reboot. God of War Ragnarok's Valhalla DLC, however, grapples directly with the series' earlier games, most of which can be played on the PS5.

Does Baldur's Gate 3 Really Have 17,000 Endings?

Lee D'Amato — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 20:00:17 GMT

Before its release, Baldur's Gate 3 promised to include 17,000 different endings - but does it really? There's undeniably a ton of player choice and variation in the game. There are even hundreds of contingencies and failsafes in case players try to break Baldur's Gate 3. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch at all to say there are thousands of different ways its story can play out, but 17,000 endings is an entirely different kind of claim.

Do This First In Scarlet & Violet's Indigo Disk DLC If You Want A New Pokémon ASAP

Austin King — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 18:30:16 GMT

The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet includes several new monsters, including four new Paradox Pokémon and new evolutions for Dipplin and Duraludon. Once the DLC is started, players are given access to the Terarium of Blueberry Academy. This is where most of the DLC takes place, and because it once again features open-world exploration, this means the order certain story beats can take place is totally left up to the order trainers want to complete tasks. However, for those wanting to a get a new Pokémon like Hyrdapple as soon as possible, there's one task that should be taken on as soon as it's available.
