An Elden Ring dataminer has uncovered an alternate start location and unused voice lines that were present in an early version of the game.
22 years later, one of BioWare's D&D RPG alternatives to Baldur's Gate gets a community patch held together with "copious amounts of adhesive"

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is a D&D style RPG by Bioware's Beamdog. For a game now 22 years old, an update announcement may seem a little far fetched, but that's why we're here. Courtesy of the bustling modding community still surrounding the game today, Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition has just seen a massive patch.
It's thanks to Bioware's initial encouragement of player-made content, in the form of a modding toolset that shipped with the game, which has helped keep the modding community thriving to this day. With it, some of the devs over at Beamdog have gotten together and pushed out a patch. A free one, mind, made by "unpaid software engineers from the NWN community" out of the kindness of their hearts.
"This patch was made entirely by community members: Done entirely for personal enjoyment, out of good will and with copious amounts of adhesive."
The patch not only gives the game Vsync and adaptive Vsync support, but also improvements to post processing effects, an accessible Direct Connect button in the multiplayer menu, and more console commands to play with, among other things.
The full list of updates can be found on the Beamdog site, and with more than 100 bug-fixes listed in the changelog, as well as a bunch of stuff that's been removed, it's looking like a vast improvement to the base game.
I'm sure the decision in part was made around the recent resurgence in D&D's popularity, but the main takeaway is this: in case you wanted to indulge your inner retro D&D RPG nerd, it seems now's a great time to get back into Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition.
Even if you're not into D&D, you'll find something to love on our list of the best RPG games .

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is Getting Another Patch to Improve Performance Mode | Push Square
Square Enix is lining up another patch for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, reports One More Game. As was the case with the previous update, the goal is to improve Rebirth's Performance mode, which has been heavily scrutinised since the game's demo launched last month. While the previous patch did make some positive adjustments, the mode still suffers from a dynamic resolution that can dip to noticeably muddy levels.

When pop culture fandoms heat up, collectors begin to come out of the woodwork.

No, I’m talking about real collectors in search of rare artifacts, often from early on in the history of a given fandom.
