Baldurs Gate 3: All Missable Side Quests & Content in Act 1

There is no shortage of things to pick up in Starfield — lots of curious little items that serve no other purpose than to decorate and delight. United Colonies scientists neatly stack research materials in cabinets and drawers, research binders lining shelves on the wall. Down in The Well, in a restaurant called Kay’s House, everything’s a lot more dingy; empty bottles and dirtied plates sit idly waiting to be picked up. There are pens on desks, forgotten tools tucked into corners, and half-eaten sandwiches abandoned on tables. Everything hums with electric possibility: Pick me up!

In a new video by tech wizards Digital Foundry, the team there broke down the performance and visuals of Larian's port of Bladur's Gate 3 to the PlayStation 5. And while it's mostly good, Act 3 really proves to be a breaking point.

During the First Contact quest, there’s the option to help the 200-year-old colony of humans floating outside Paradiso to find a new home. Though this all sounds very noble, it requires purchasing an expensive Grav Drive and helping them install it since they practically don’t know what it is. The money bit is quite easy, as you’ll just have to persuade your way out of it or throw some credits at a vendor. Installing a Grav Drive is quite a different story. I left the conversation with Amin, the ship’s engineer, with a feeling that resembles that of my visits to the car mechanic — I’m utterly baffled. So, here’s a guide providing step-by-step instructions on how to install the Grav Drive in the ship orbiting Paradiso in Starfield.

If your parents, significant other or boss are breathing down your neck about how much longer you have left in Bethesda’s latest RPG epic, then you’ve come to the right place — as we have the Starfield mission list with all the key chapters to progress the main story, as well as a full list of faction quests and side quests.

Bethesda games typically open with a big bang, so it’s ironic — and potentially off-putting — that the studio’s first game in literal space does not. Know that Starfield does eventually get its explosive narrative moment. You’ll just need to get through a few campaign missions first.

As massive of a game as Baldur’s Gate 3 or any major role-playing game is, there’s always content left on the cutting room floor. Recently, fans who datamined the PC version discovered tons of content relating to Act 3 and the Epilogue that didn’t make it into the game.

Larian Studios, the developer behind the hit RPG Baldur's Gate 3, has revealed its plans for the game's second major post-launch Patch while addressing player criticisms surrounding bugs and cut content. 

Sea of Stars is a retro-inspired JRPG from Sabotage Studios and sees players embark on an epic adventure across a fantasy world filled with unique sights and sounds to experience. The game features classic turn-based style gameplay inspired by games like Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG, as well as beautiful pixel art, unique enemies and characters, and plenty of JRPG staples, all with modern quirks and twists that make the game its own.

Most farming games have fishing nowadays, but even in its current version, Palia offers a bountiful number of fish waiting to be reeled in. Over 80 distinct fish species dance through Palia’s waterways, creating a captivating subaqueous realm. Yet, even for the humble Carp, mastery of the game’s angling mechanics is a must. Don’t be fooled by past fishing exploits – Palia unveils a refreshing twist on the familiar, defying expectations.

Following hot on the heels of the short-person smooching update, Larian is already hard at work on the next patch for Baldur’s Gate 3. Among the usual bug fixes, tweaks, and performance boosts, Larian says this “begins our journey incorporating feedback into Origin Character epilogues.”

Don’t be fooled by the size of Baldur’s Gate 3’s third-act map. You won’t be walking miles and miles like in the Wilderness, but every corner hides a bit of side content, whether it is in the form of some letter sitting atop a shelf, a random NPC standing in a park, or a mini-game that hides a legendary weapon. Baldur’s Gate is full of content waiting to be discovered, but it’s also so packed that most of it is really easy to miss. This guide covers every single Act 3 side quest and secret in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Palia is one of those games where you can and must cultivate bonds with small gestures. But, just like in life, preferences evolve. The villagers of Palia have a new want every week, and although you can find out what things they love and what they like permanently, if you want to deepen a friendship or make villager fall in love, keeping an eye on their weekly wants is a great idea.
