When we talk about popular smartphone brands in India, most of the time Samsung and Apple come to our mind. And rightly so. Just check what students with iPhones prefer. If we move to a wider landscape, there are other players too. In a dynamic shift within the Indian smartphone landscape, brands like Lava and OnePlus are gaining popularity among the Indian youths. This has been reported recently by the research firm Techarc. They have conducted a survey to find out the current trend of smartphones among young users of India. Check here to know what this survey revealed.
Baldur's Gate 3 fans find evidence of permadeath difficulty with only one save file
07.11.2023 - 12:33 / eurogamer.net
Baldur's Gate 3 looks set to receive a new difficulty mode which will restrict players to one save file and permadeath.
A new achievement for the game called Foehammer, which references an Honour mode, has been spotted on the GOG launcher and shared on the game's subreddit. Fans of developer Larian Studios have recognised Honour mode from its previous appearances in Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition and Divinity: Original Sin 2.
In the Divinity games, Honour mode only allows players one save, regardless of whether it was a manual, auto, or quick save. Permadeath is enabled, and if the player's entire party dies the save is erased. That's all on top of the extra difficulty added by Tactician mode, the second most difficult option after Honour mode.
The prospect of permadeath and no save scumming in a campaign which could run up to 100 hours long is slightly terrifying. One unfortunate dice roll could spell the end of the game and erase hours of progress.
Larian hasn't officially announced Honour mode for Baldur's Gate 3, and it remains to be seen if it will be tweaked to work any differently from the Divinity games. Regardless, given I'm still on my first campaign in Normal mode, I'll be leaving Honour mode to the Foehammers out there for now.
The most recent major patch for Baldur's Gate 3 added a colour-blind mode, as well as a huge amount of further fixes, but sadly ruined sex speedrunning with Lae'zel. Larian is still targeting an Xbox release for the game before the end of the year.

Baldur's Gate 3 Players Are Playing Sports With Gale's Body
Baldur's Gate 3 lets you do an awful lot. But you can't play basketball or go bowling. So, players are finding their own unique workarounds, like picking up Gale and throwing him into a bunch of barrels or... dribbling with him. Bouncing him up and down off hard, rocky dirt paths. Sorry, Gale.

Baldur's Gate 3 Fans Find Another Way To Cheese The Cazador Fight
The Cazador fight in Baldur's Gate 3 is anxiety-inducing. Not only are you up against a tough boss and his lackeys, but you're also probably doing it a man down, as Cazador captures Astarion before the fight starts. If you don't free Astarion in time, he'll be permanently killed, used to make Cazador even stronger. Oh, and even after you free him, Cazador will just keep trapping him to try and complete the ritual.

Baldur's Gate 3 Fans Find Nasty Unused Ending For The Dark Urge
There's an unused ending for The Dark Urge ending tucked away in the files for Baldur's Gate 3 - and it's pretty goddamn nasty. The cut dialogue, which certainly would have been part of a bad ending for the player character and presumably their companions, shamelessly dives into the horror and depravity that make up the Dark Urge's roots and doesn't hold back on how awful it could be.
