Baldur’s Gate 3 presents players with the chance to recruit a number of different companions along their adventures, and while most of them are found relatively quickly, a few, including the Druid Halsin and his powerful builds, will take a little bit of time and effort to add to your camp.

]]>Overwatch 2’s newest tank hero—Mauga—is joining the roster with the start of season eight next Tuesday, Dec. 5. During a Twitter takeover of the official Overwatch account, the character answered some questions from fans that included the leaking of a fresh skin for the hero.
The Bonesplinter skin for Mauga shows off the chain gun wielding member of Talon using the bones of his enemies as armor with razor sharp metal sticking off of his massive shoulder pads. The skin comes complete with an enormous red necklace with blue braids that have sharp blades on them. The skin appears to be similar to the one that Blizzard teased in key art for season eight yesterday.
]]>The latest Overwatch 2 developer blog today, Nov. 30, detailed balance changes coming to the game next week with the start of season eight on Tuesday, Dec. 5, and with a new hero being added to the mix, the tank meta appeared to be one of the focuses.
With Mauga joining the fray as a berserking tank that can assist with mid-range damage and Roadhog’s recent rework, the tank meta is poised to look completely different from previous seasons. To address the inclusion of a new hero and adjust for some of the meta shifting that’s gone on since Roadhog’s rework, Blizzard noted a few changes that are coming to a number of other tanks including Doomfist, Ramattra, and Winston.

]]>Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch Five dropped today with more substantive changes than any update before it, and while it brought new modes and content to BG3, perhaps the biggest change was a simple quality-of-life fix.
Players have complained for a long time about how overly complicated organizing character inventory can be in Baldur’s Gate 3, and the new patch today, Nov. 30, has finally given us the fix we’ve been requesting for months. Instead of needing to play a weird game of inventory Tetris every time you move someone in and out of your group at camp, players can now access their companions’ inventory directly from camp, even if they are grouped.
]]>Baldur’s Gate 3’s latest patch might be its biggest one yet, and along with giving fans epilogues, Larian has added new difficulties, one of which will make the game even more difficult than its previous hardest difficulty.
When Baldur’s Gate 3 released, players had three difficulty options, but in Patch Five, which dropped today, Nov. 30, players have an opportunity to up the difficulty to another level in what is called “Honour Mode.” Additionally, players can create their own difficulty by choosing a “Custom” difficulty that lets them scale various parts of the game up and down in difficulty as they choose.
]]>The economics involved in an MMO like World of Warcraft Classic can often be complicated, and while we look for the game to be an escape from reality, people’s ability to leverage their money and power in real life can translate to our fantasy worlds.
