is known for its incredible supporting cast, so much so that many of the members of this cast have been nominated and won awards. The stands out are, of course, the companions, from the eccentric Astarion to the lovable Karlach, who have been universally praised. These party members were a big step up from Larian Studios' last title, thanks to more interactions and cinematic cutscenes, but that does not mean that all companions have been well executed.
[Warning: Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3.]
There is somewhat of an imbalance concerning the companions of . Some are left to the wayside, and no one feels this more than Halsin. He has plenty of potential to be just as memorable as everyone else, yet the stand-out feature of him seems to be his willingness to enter into a polyamorous relationship and his romance scene utilizing his bear form in a hilarious, yet disturbing way. There seems to be very little to him even though he's one of only 10 companions.
It is odd that the Archdruid of the Emerald Grove spends most of his personal quest as a camp follower, rather than as a companion. He is first introduced as a fifth-level NPC, and when he joins, not all players will have a Tav at a similar level, but they won't be far off. There is no reason why he couldn't become a proper party member after leaving for either the Mountain Pass or Underdark in Act 1, since he spends all that time waiting to get to the Cursed Shadowlands doing practically nothing.
Most players would be around Halsin's level or higher when leaving the starting area. He does mention that he knows about the Underdark, believing it to be the better path to take, but doesn't do much in that area. Perhaps, as a companion, he could have unique interactions with the Sussur Tree and Myconid Colony, since he is a druid and could compare his own experience with that of the mushroom people of the Underdark.
Generally,it feels like in Act 1, Halsin has a lot he could add to the party's chances of success. He seems to be a font of knowledge for the path ahead, yet shares very little of that knowledge, especially when it seems useful for the Underdark. There is somewhat of a difficulty spike here too, and having an extra companion is always useful, especially since he doesn't, by default, share a class with any of the Origin Characters (except for the Dark Urge, depending on what a player chooses for them).
Players don't have to choose between the Mountain Pass and the Underdark. Both can be completed in a single playthrough, and it is advised in order to get as much XP as possible.
When Jaheira is introduced at the start of Act 2, she seems like everything Halsin could be (besides romanceable). She has more personality, has engaging

may already be littered with unique weapons for players to equip to their party but those who want something a little more iconic to the world of fantasy are lucky thanks to a new mod. Through players' adventures across the Forgotten Realms, they'll undoubtedly come across piles of powerful loot to help beef up the stats of Astarion, Shadowheart, Wyll, and anyone else you might need an edge in combat. enthusiasts may recognize some of the more notorious weapons but now it's time for fans to shine.
When it comes to Baldur's Gate 3's more eccentric characters, you'll be hard-pressed to find one quite like Astarion. Not only is he initially rather hostile, coming at you with a dagger when you first meet, but the whole vampire thing definitely makes him one of the more unique party members in terms of character and his story.
is the best-selling title FromSoftware has ever developed, taking the soulsborne games into uncharted territory with its open world. Thanks to this, it is the most approachable of the titles, while managing to keep the famously crushing difficulty that soulslike games are known for. With a project as large as ,there are going to be some growing pains that prevent the game from being perfect. Sometimes, that can be too many reused assets, while other times it can be the balancing of certain enemies.
In a post-release patch, Larian Studios added Honour Mode to . Honour Mode makes enemies and bosses harder, while introducing harsher rules that work against the player, similar to Tactician Mode. The big difference in what makes Honour Mode such a difficult endeavor is that it only gives players a single save. If a party is wiped out, that's it, the campaign is officially over and a player will have to start again from the Nautiloid Ship in a new save.
Microsoft's Xbox summer showcase in June will reportedly include a hefty post-show segment on the next and currently untitled Call Of Duty, alongside release dates for such first-party headliners as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Avowed and Indiana Jones And The Great Circle.

With a bigger budget and more time, Larian Studios took a big step forward in many ways with its latest title, using motion capture to improve animation and cinematic storytelling to make the game more immersive. Despite the vast improvements over its prior title, there are some things that the older game does better, and that is for a few reasons.

took the gaming industry by storm back in February 2024, quickly gaining a dedicated fanbase and community around the live-service title. Although it still boasts an impressive player base, a couple of months later, the numbers have begun to dwindle from the initial highs that it once enjoyed. This is to be expected with any title since the gaming industry moves on quickly, and games cannot be expected to hold onto unsustainable numbers, but there is something can do to stem the bleeding.

A new character in 4.7 may make Neuvillette completely broken, according to a set of leaks about the upcoming patch. The popular action RPG is just entering Version 4.6, a massive update where it will introduce the highly anticipated Arlecchino as a playable character. The Fatui Harbinger known as the Knave had already appeared as an NPC during the Fontaine storyline, but had not yet become a playable unit.
