For a first playthrough,it’s been a learning experience. You get capes in exchange for pulping people! Here’s to more of them. And, I suppose, robs you of a stable relationship with your mates. Instead, I was visited by a little gremlin man with a nice hat....

Winning every Baldur's Gate 3 conversation as a charismatic bard isn't nearly as fun as I thought

My greatest strength, though, lies outside of combat in the arena known as “conversation”. Seriously, I’ve played for around 30 hours now and haven’t lost a single chat skillcheck. It’s got to the point where it’s actually a bit silly. Deception to my orc is to do a big war cry and coat the person opposite with spittle. Our elves and drows and orcs occasionally slip up. One of the Dans doesn’t care for the story at all, really....

The creators of the System Shock remake want to do Unreal next

Not familiar with Nightdive? It’s safe to say they know how to pull off a retro (sorry, Kamiya-san) comeback. It sounds like the two have been pitching the idea behind the scenes. It isn’t, in this sense at least, much more sophisticated than that. It’s just done so exquisitely well. And as such a technical achievement." Nightdive, I notice, havetwo unannounced titles on the boil. What would you like them to do next?...

Admittedly, a lot of your agents' abilities aren’t focused on pure damage-dealing. I’ll give anything a go if I know what a game expects of me. I’ll hopefully report back soon, closer to release.
