In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Gauntlet of Shar, you’re faced with trial after trial of both enemies and puzzles as you attempt to find the Nightsong. When you finally see a non-hostile Displacer Beast, you might be tempted to follow it as it leads you deeper into the gauntlet. Don’t; it’s leading you into an ambush. The displacer beast works for Yurgir the Orthon, a devil Raphael will warn you about before entering the Thorm mausoleum. Yurgir leads a host of Merregons behind him, lesser devils armed with magic weapons, and he has a host of tricks up his own…

Baldur’s Gate 3 features a seemingly endless amount of Easter-eggs, side quests, and things to do outside the main mission objectives. It’s no surprise that the game can, for some gamers, last for 100s of hours. Players can spend their time getting more personal with their companions, crafting potions and powerful brews, and even just exploring places that they’ve yet to visit. If they’re not playing a campaign with friends, seeking out loot upgrades, or heading down the golden path, players will find tons of funny and lighthearted side content. One of the early versions that players will probably run…
Viconia DeVir may be a familiar name to some Baldur’s Gate veterans. She appeared in the previous Baldur’s Gate games as a tense ally, and now in Baldur’s Gate 3 as a potential antagonist. Whether she is friend or foe, she is extremely dangerous. The encounter against Viconia is one of the most difficult fights in the game. Viconia herself is one powerful Cleric, but she is joined by her entire Sharran coven. This fight has you outnumbered and surrounded. It will take some solid preparation, good decisions, and a bit of luck to win. Updated by Jeff Brooks on…
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game loaded to the brim with choices, options, possibilities, and unpredictable outcomes. Each roll of the dice presents a different chance to succeed or fail, to make a friend or to start a fight…and the options start stacking up even prior to the game really starting. Before gamers get down to smashing skulls, slinging arrows, and chucking spells, they will have to create their character and choose their class. There are eleven base classes to choose from in Baldur’s Gate 3. Of the class choices that can be made, the Wizard is always a popular…
Of all the powerful weapons in Starfield, none cut as deep as The Last Priest. The rare variation of the Va’Ruun Painblade is, as of yet, the best melee weapon that has been found in the game. That means the sooner you track it down, the quicker you’ll be able to holster your sidearm and carve through your enemies at close range. The Last Priest is one of the best weapons in Starfield, but it can be a bit of a hassle to track down. Before adding it to your weapons inventory, you’ll have to progress through the Constellation’s main…

Something that is consistently done well in many roguelike games is creating a story that acknowledges the player’s attempt to proceed further. In Hades, protagonist Zagreus dies and resurrects each time he fails to escape, and the game’s cast acknowledges his death and comments on it. Similarly, Skul, the protagonist of Skul: The Hero Slayer, is a skeleton that reforms himself after each defeat to try once again. The same is true for Have a Nice Death, a roguelike which puts you in the shoes of an overworked grim reaper, but it goes even further with this concept in a…
I hate horror games. Well, that’s not entirely true. I love them, but only in the daylight, and when there’s someone else in the house, and when I’m not going to need to go down the creepy basement steps to do laundry. I’m kind of a wuss, is what I’m admitting to. And yet, I still play them, probably more often that someone whose level of bravery in the face of the supernatural rests somewhere between Scooby-Doo and Courage the Cowardly Dog. And what I’ve found is that the tense atmosphere set up by horror games also opens the door…
Character customization is a huge part of Baldur’s Gate 3, and D&D. Through appearance and classes, you make a character that is unique and your own. Of all the classes in Baldur’s Gate 3, Warlock offers extended customization through its Eldritch Invocations. Invocations are special abilities Warlocks choose as they level up, separate from subclasses and spells. Most Invocations grant spells outside the usual Warlock spell list, while others grant passive features to improve your character’s weaknesses. A max level Warlock in Baldur’s Gate 3 can learn 6 of the 19 Invocations. This list details the best ones you’ll want…
Bethesda’s Starfield is full of unique firearms, but if you are looking for a melee weapon that is powerful enough to carve your way through waves of gun-toting space pirates, your options drop dramatically. Fortunately, buried deep within the seedy underworld of Neon, there is a katana that will let you play the role of space samurai while exploring Starfield. The Wakizashi is a powerful melee weapon that will take you back to the days spent carving through enemies on the fields of Skyrim. It’s one-shot potential and cool design make it well worth the effort required to help the…
