players disappointed by the inability to play as a «mean» character shouldn't miss out on some key interactions as one fan points out the best way to be a real bully. While Portkey Games' expansive open-world RPG does provide an authentic recreation of the ever-popular Wizard World, it's debatable how successful it is when it comes to role-playing. Despite a massive map and plenty of character customization, the game is largely insistent that players are, at the very least, polite, but that all goes out the window when one specific NPC is around.
Posted to Reddit by user LanLanLu, the player shared their discovery thatthe best way to role-play as a bully character is to channel the energy of Draco Malfoy, an antagonist in the series, whenever talking with Grace Pinch-Smedley.
An unassuming Slytherin student in, users can make her life miserable by firstly stealing her Astrolobe and then mocking her when she loses at a game of Summoner's Court. While these instances are limited, they still serve as some of the meanest interactions in the game, perfect for those looking to take on the role of the school thug.
Many players have lamented the fact that the game actively discourages the main character from being a bully by making most of the dialogue options very polite or tweaking potentially rude statements to sound less harsh. Given the popularity of Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter's sneering tormentor, the community was largely disheartened to discover that they couldn't replicate his cruel jabs and insults. Fortunately, picking on Grace Pinch-Smedley should hopefully satisfy those who want to play a more overtly evil character.
Per statistics released by Portkey Games, Slytherin proved to be the most popular house in as 30% of players chose to be sorted into it.
Grace Pinch-Smedley isn't the only person in who serves as an opportune person to bully, but she certainly is the most affected. Other instances of cruelty can be exacted upon Zenobia Noke, who requests that the main character track down and return her collection of Gobstones. Refusing to hand them over results in players not earning the reward for the quest and seemingly serves only as a means of simply upsetting the NPC, exactly what a dedicated bully would do in such a situation.
may have disappointed players looking for a «Draco Malfoy simulator» but that hasn't stopped the rest of the community from falling head over heels for it. Some have called on Portkey Games to add additional dialogue options to the game to better facilitate role-playing but given that the studio has stated that it'll soon be winding down development, it seems like such a massive addition is unlikely. An upcoming summer update will soon be released to add some

While there may already be plenty of LEGO sets for the universe, two video game-exclusive characters may finally get the due as a joint set. The galaxy far, far away has become known as one of LEGO's standout sets thanks to the brand's blocky aesthetic fitting neatly with the franchise's vehicles and landscapes.

While Square Enix may remain quiet when it comes to the development of , a new report alleges that the highly-anticipated sequel could be out sooner than expected. Despite its massive fanbase and passionate community, isn't exactly known for maintaining a consistent release schedule given that over a decade passed between the launch of the second and third games. Smaller titles have been released for handheld systems and mobile devices in that time span, but the mainline franchise has always suffered when it comes to consistent releases.
Walton Goggins' Cooper «The Ghoul» Howard is undoubtedly the break-out character of Prime Video's series and fans of the show who are desperate to roam around as the gunslinger can now do so thanks to an impressive new mod. Given the sheer amount of customization options available to players in Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG, it stands to reason that someone would eventually conjure up a convincing take on The Ghoul. However, since the base game doesn't allow players to become Ghouls, some modding is necessary to achieve the desired look.
may be a game solely committed to boots-on-the-ground combat, but one industrious fan has an incredible vision for how space combat and dogfighting could function. While Arrowhead Studios' third-person shooter is riddled with starships and cruisers, even giving players their own Super Destroyer to travel the pathways between planets, it's not actually possible to use these vessels to battle enemies. It may be too much to expect from the developers, given the scale of such an addition, but some kind of space battle mechanic would be amazing, especially if it takes its cues from this fan's video.
may already be filled with a plethora of gigantic beasts to battle and tame, but fans of large and imposing arachnids who feel like the game is lacking in spiders should check out this impressive mod. Throughout survivors' journies across The Island, plenty of fearsome dinosaurs will rear their intimidating heads, and while they may not all be aggressive, it's still a good idea to form a small collection of beasts that make combat significantly easier. While the latest addition may not pack a massive punch, it makes up for this shortcoming with its adorable appearance.

One Hogwarts Legacy player has recently experienced a bug that causes Lumos, the wand-lighting charm, to instead be listed as a damage-dealing spell in the game's HUD. Lumos is a well-known spell among fans of the Harry Potter franchise, but in Hogwarts Legacy, as well as the books and movies, its use is as little more than a magical flashlight.
A hidden secret in reveals a piece of lore that connects the game to a much older and less remembered game. is full of Easter eggs that both expand the lore of and connect the game to other aspects of the franchise, some more easily recognized than others. With such an expansive universe to draw on, it can even be surprisingly easy at times to mistake previously established lore for brand-new information.
While Xbox Game Pass is set to gain a selection of fantastic Day-One releases in the back half of April, subscribers may want to act fast to play the six games leaving the service in the coming weeks. To offset the amount of titles the platform offers, Microsoft always removes a handful of games whenever it brings in a new selection for players to experience. While that might sound like a bad deal, it makes sense given the already massive catalog on offer and users can still pick up the departing games for a discount before they eventually leave.
is about to become even more difficult as the game's latest mission type forces players to go up against some of the Automaton's most powerful units. While the kinds of enemies players will encounter in are largely determined by the difficulty of the mission they embark upon, users who want to farm some of the rare resources will need to run through some of the more brutal settings to upgrade their ship modules.
