Commander Zhalk is the tutorial boss of . Defeating him is entirely optional, but it does yield great rewards. This includes enough experience points to reach level 2 and one of the best greatswords for most of the main story.

The Thaumaturge wouldn’t have caught my eye if I hadn’t familiarized myself with isometric games such as Baldur’s Gate 3, but I am so grateful that it did. Developer Fool’s Theory is heading the story-driven RPG. If you’re a long-time fan of isometric games, you may remember the studio’s name from Seven, another unique twist on the underrated genre. Fool’s Theory is also made up of devs who worked on the likes of The Witcher 3, and The Thaumaturge’s publisher, 11 Bit Studios, also worked on other banger games like Frostpunk.

has impressed everyone with its complex and interweaving story, where even the tiniest of decisions can have an impact on the plot. In a world with so many places to explore and characters to meet, it’s little wonder that sometimes the smallest things can lead to unforeseen consequences. From unexpected quests to surprising allies for the final battle, really does deliver on the promise that choices matter.

If Starbreeze themselves were actually a Payday 3 heisting team I suspect they'd be verging on putting money back into the vault at this stage - retracing their steps with bulging duffel bags, while apologising to security guards not so much for the whole bank robbery thing as for smashing so many utilities on their way out. Shortly after announcing plans to make the four-player PvE shooter less online-dependent, the developers have announced that they're also reworking Payday 3's much-reviled progression system.

After the events of 's DLC, players are forced to choose the new boss of Dogtown: the wily Jago, or the brutal Bennett. These two have been squabbling over territory for the entirety of the DLC, and while Kurt Hansen and his Barghest militia once kept them in check, that guiding force has disappeared as of 's ending. V is drawn into the power vacuum created by Hansen's death during the side quest "." They have the authority to decide which of the remaining two factions will take over the district.

Patch 3 for Baldur’s Gate 3 brought many good changes with it. From the expected bug fixes to methods for altering the protagonist’s appearance, there’s plenty to like.

Another hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3 has gone live, and it’s full of minor fixes and changes. The list includes changes to companions, weird bug fixes, and a couple of cosmetic changes. Everyone’s favorite devil Raphael’s hair has been adjusted to its original state after an unexpected color change, and a cat named His Majesty is back to being a Sphynx.

Baldur's Gate 3Hotfix 8 is now live and aims to address a series of crashing issues, but most importantly it makes His Majesty hairless again. 

Baldur's Gate 3's third patch made a ton of changes, but not all of them went down well with the playerbase. One of them was a fix for something we didn't even know was a bug - His Majesty being a hairless cat. Turns out, he was always meant to have fur, so the patch added that back in. But fans were so furious that Larian Studios had to U-Turn, shaving His Majesty once more.

Baldur's Gate 3 fans, rejoice! For Larian has heard the cries of the people and addressed, nay fixed the glaring issue it introduced with patch three.

Readers, our long national nightmare is over. An injustice has been rectified, light shines where once there was only darkness, your children can sleep soundly in their beds. I speak, of course, of Baldur's Gate 3's latest hotfix, which has restored His Majesty—everyone's favourite overweening feline—to his original, superior, and hairless form.
