I finished the Astarion questline in BG3 and I feel rewarded and justified in all my talks over the last few years that original Early Access companions in BG3 are not evil. Astarion's ending in my game is good and kind, it's the most positive thing a person could do in his situation. This must...

There is a discussion on Twitter about whether BG3 can be considered an indie for the purpose of the Best Indie awards. Then the question goes this way: is Dave the Diver an indie? What about games by Valve or CDPR? What are the requirements? No external publisher? A small team size? Exactly...

I gave Minsc a feat to play musical instruments, so here is my gang listening to him playing the lyre. And yes, that is Boo listening to the music on the ground, and my Shadowheart wearing fancy new clothes after choosing a good option. Just beautiful and very fitting for her new personality...

Just. Listen. To. This. Steve Sim (who is currently at Beamdog) shared this with me today. Wow. An unreleased full version of "some music" (Techno/House) he did for Mass Effect (he was the Audio Lead on ME1). Perfect for the Friday mood!

I know we have another thread about VO actors, but needed to get it off my chest, I've wanted to say this for some time. What needs to be recognized on a bigger scale in the whole industry (IMHO) right now is this amazing event that has been going on for a while with the BG3 cast! Reaction...

The Evil Within games are going free on the EGS. The Evil Within 1 is free this week. It's a hit survival horror game headed up by original Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami. Its sequel, The Evil Within 2, will be free next week...

I played the Upveaval demo on Steam (an indie text RPG/roguelike by Alex Leone). Here are a few screenshots: It reminded me of The Secret of Darkwoods, but with a more relaxed approach - less fighting, more traveling and poking around. In 15 days, my adventurer hasn't really achieved...

"TA: If you had a chance to work on any single project right now without any budget or time limitations, and you could get whatever team you wanted, would you make Pentiment 2, Pillars of Eternity 3, or Fallout New Vegas 2? JS: I don’t think I would make Pentiment 2. I really do feel very...

Lucius to Grimdark: "Ah, a fellow Seldarine Drow! Khal'abbil!" Stunning screenshots! Enjoy all the Drow-specific dialogue lines in Act 1.

A great update, as always. I've been on the receiving end of "only scrolls of Town Portal" drops from Duriel in the past as well. It happens quite often, no matter the difficulty. Everything is looking solid enough, good rune drops. Keeping 🤞 for Aramaki.

Yes, yes, YES! For me personally, Black Holes are the MOST exciting topic in science along with the very beginning moment of the Big Bang. Researchers actually used computer simulations of Black Holes and machine learning to generate a revised version of the famous first image you've shared...

PC Gamer updated their Top 100 list. BG3 is not included as the list takes into consideration games released up until July. https://www.pcgamer.com/the-top-100-pc-games-2023/ It's one of the "better" Top 100 lists. However: Diablo 4 is there, but Diablo 2 is not. HoMM 3 is not there. Age of...

Tracy Wiles discussed her character Jaheira. https://news.stv.tv/scotland/scottish-actress-tracy-wiles-behind-one-of-the-baldurs-gate-3-fan-favourite-characters-jaheira "It took over a year and a half of preparation and sessions in the volume studio for all of Jaheira’s lines to be recorded...

It's so inspiring to read about video games in an article about Grammys: "And in only its second year of existence, the “score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media” category is bound to be filled with fan favorites. Bear McCreary’s “God of War: Ragnarok” has already won the...

Seems to be performing ok as I haven't seen any major complaints. On a different note, Baldur's Gate 3 has 17 different "narration styles", according to Amelia Tyler. https://www.thegamer.com/baldurs-gate-3-17-different-narrator-types-lines-change-amelia-tyler/ "A lot of people that are on...

That's really nice, @alice_ashpool! Seems like everything else around Blizzard has been rather lackluster: https://www.pcgamesn.com/diablo-4/season-2-deleted-video

It's ok for the discussion to stay here, don't worry. ;) I have to agree with @Cahir here. Almost all BG3 companions could be my best friends in RL, they're well-written and feel real. Probably still not on the level of Cyberpunk 2077 characters such as Judy or Panam, but very close. We...

I would agree with you on that, @O_Bruce, thanks for sharing. On a side note, here is one of those cases when using the AI is done absolutely correctly...

Thanks for sharing the source. First of all, the video is from August 30, and there were patches already addressing many of Act 3 "glitches". The first part of the video is about an NPC that got stuck due to a bug. Not that great, but it was a bug. Another bug happened when he tried to loot...
