NexusMods has removed a mod that aimed to make one of Baldur's Gate 3's most popular queer romances heterosexual in the wake of a backlash from fans.
Netflix cancels several beloved series, including a fantasy fan favorite
16.11.2023 - 11:01 / gamesradar.com / Per Deadline
Netflix has canceled a slew of fan-favorite series, including fantasy epic Shadow and Bone. The streamer will also not be going forward with more seasons of the live-action show Glamorous and the animated comedies Farzar, Captain Fall, and Agent Elvis.
Per Deadline, the decision was made after the SAG-AFTRA strike officially came to an end, and was also impacted by delays caused by the WGA strike earlier this year. Viewing figures and completion rates also form part of Netflix’s renewal decisions, with most of the shows not making a big enough impact from their first seasons.
Shadow and Bone is the only show in the list that had two seasons, but it didn’t do as well as Netflix would have hoped. Season 2, which aired earlier in 2023, didn’t reach the same heights as its first season, only spending five weeks in the streamer’s top 10 and never reaching the top spot.
The show, based on Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse novels, is undoubtedly a fan favorite though, and a campaign has already been launched on Twitter to try and save it. Starring Jessie Mei Li and Ben Barnes, the second season ended on something of a cliffhanger too, which will now be unresolved.
"I'm heartbroken and deeply disappointed, but I'm also trying to hold onto my very real gratitude," wrote the fantasy novel author Bardugo. "Most authors never get to see their work adapted. Many who do end up regretting the experience. I'm one of the lucky few who can look at an adaptation with pride and tremendous joy."

The Fallout TV series will include a Vault Boy origin story for some reason
We got our first look at the Fallout TV series last week with a trailer on Saturday preceded by a behind-the-scenes report from Vanity Fair, which included looks at the show's main characters and surprisingly bright and colorful post-nuclear world, and of course some words from Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard. The report also included a small and frankly baffling detail for fans to look forward to: Vault Boy, the real-world mascot of the series and in-game avatar of fictional megacorp Vault-Tec, is going to get his very own origin story.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s new patch makes a fan-favorite character canon
The long-awaited new patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 has finally arrived. Patch 5 makes a handful of bug fixes, design additions — including, erm, dick physics that make for some very realistic naked movement — and also adds in substantial companion character epilogues. And in one companion’s epilogue, Larian Studios cheekily canonized a fan-favorite character that came from a Dungeons and Dragons actual play between the Baldur’s Gate 3 cast. That’s right: Bing Bong the Imp is now officially canon.

‘I don’t want to revisit myself at 25’: The story behind Netflix’s bold Scott Pilgrim anime
By now most people know the secret behind Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: Scott Pilgrim — well, he takes off. He’s gone, for most of the narrative, leaving the players as we know them to pick up the pieces and figure out what happened to him. What happens to them in his absence is usually a total flip of what we’ve come to expect: Think Gideon introducing Lucas to the slowburn anime he’s been watching for a while (or maybe just a few days).
