Skyrim player spends 150 hours beating their own hardcore permadeath version of the RPG, still recommends stealth archers as the best way to win

Elden Ring, like all of FromSoftware's famously challenging action RPGs, has been trivialized in about a million different ways. Two Malenias at once, no-hit randomizer runs, literal mind games – the list goes on. Arguably the most popular way to absolutely flex on the denizens of the Lands Between is clearing the whole game without leveling up a single time, with Elden Ring now a major part of the OneBros Reddit community where unleveled FromSoft diehards gather. 

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios has revealed that one developer has the role of 'Game Master,' leaving players in shambles at their power. 

Over a decade later, Skyrim players are still pushing Bethesda's iconic RPG to its limits. Tamriel's latest absurd accomplishment comes from Pawelos4, who claims to have reached level 1,337 on "the ultimate Skyrim character," who has apparently done everything that can feasibly be done. And they uploaded a stonking 11 hours of sped up footage to prove it. 

Even though many of us may see Skyrim as one of the greatest RPGs of all time, there’s no denying that it’s a painfully flawed game. We know this, and that’s why modders are always working to make sure Bethesda’s aging epic maintains some degree of relevancy.

Ahead of Dragon's Dogma 2's launch next month, director Hideaki Itsuno has revealed how the team at Capcom went about giving players a fighting chance in battles with the RPG's huge enemies.

A Baldur's Gate 3 player has realized you can take down one of the RPG's most powerful characters to gain a big burst of XP, but only because he's severely limited by the game's level cap.

One Hogwarts Legacy player managed to obtain a real-life replica of their in-game wand thanks to the artistry of a wand-making store. An increasingly popular trend among Hogwarts Legacy fans, the plethora of choices in wand customization has enticed many players to the idea of recreating their wands in real life. Whether printed or handcrafted, the results have often been impressive, and it's clear that Avalanche Software made the correct choice in giving this integral aspect of the Wizarding World proper focus in the game.

Yeah, sure, Baldur's Gate 3 was popular last year when it became the biggest RPG out there and vacuumed up all those GotY awards, but with a zillion other games launching every day, are people still playing it? Yes, it turns out. The answer is very much yes.

A gamer who played Palworld for over 140 hours has recently created an impressive base that looks like a huge fortress. Palworld has been a major hit since its early access release last month, surpassing 19 million players on Xbox and Steam, and some of them are extremely creative with base-building.

Even in its swan-song era, the Nintendo Switch continues to find new players. It recently became the third-best-selling console of all time, and players such as my kindergarten-aged nephew are representative of millions of new or recently converted core gamers who are simply having so much fun with the console’s past seven years of great games to care that the Switch 2 might actually launch in late 2024 or early 2025.

Baldur's Gate 3 might have been released months ago now, but players are still finding new ways to stretch its roleplaying campaign in odd directions. This time, one player beat the hardest difficulty, while using only the very worst spell in the game. 

Sometimes the excitement of unlocking a rocket launcher to use against droves of innocent creatures overwhelms us, leading to situations where an entire home gets accidentally, err, damaged. It's not just you, though! Palworld players can't stop blowing up their bases, accidentally or otherwise.
