Dragon's Dogma 2 fans all have one common enemy at the moment, and it's not the massive ogres that dropkick you off a cliff. Ever since it was discovered that Dragonsplague - a mysterious illness that can befall your Pawns and cause them to turn against you - has the capability to completely destroy your save files by killing every NPC in a city or town, players have been on the lookout for any possible sign that their Pawns are down with the sickness.

With Max ending the much-beloved pirate series Our Flag Means Death after two seasons, the cast is considering their next career steps. For Vico Ortiz, who played nonbinary fan-favorite pirate Jim Jimenez on the show, that includes thinking about a long-held dream of getting involved with Star Wars — a franchise Ortiz says has heavily shaped their life and their family’s lives.

Baldur's Gate 3 players have gotten really silly with mods since the game came out, including creating a number of mods that allow otherwise unplayable characters to join the party. But according to Larian Studios head Swen Vincke, a number of those characters may have been considered for inclusion as companions early in development, including one particular villain.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 players will no doubt have heard whispers from their faithful followers, known as pawns, about a terrible plague infecting their ranks. Unfortunately, that sickness is real and currently spreading through Capcom’s fantasy role-playing game via its pawns, and it’s led to the mass murders of NPCs like merchants and quest-givers.

The Dragon's Dogma 2 community has been left shaken by the existence of Dragonsplague – a deadly illness introduced in the sequel that can result in entire towns being killed. Left unchecked, the contagious disease –  which can be spread game-to-game by hiring infected Pawns – has the potential to result in numerous NPCs, including important quest-givers, being wiped out overnight. 

David Gaider, the creator of Dragon Age's setting, has spoken out against the current state of the games industry, and the "fear" developers have of needing to crunch to make enormous games as if it's the only way forward.

While you do pick a starting class of sorts in Rise of the Ronin, that doesn’t lock you out of using any of the game’s numerous weapons or abilities. That initial choice simply determines your starting stats and skills, and you can still freely mold your ronin’s proficiencies with as much detail as you can their appearance. Previous Team Ninja games have had some less-than-friendly UIs for their leveling system, and while it is much better here, it is still quite overwhelming. You have multiple branches of skills spread across the four main categories, plus most skills can be leveled up more than once.

Death comes at you fast in Dragon's Dogma 2. While you have the luxury of being able to restart from your last save after death, and pawns can be revived or summoned again, if an NPC bites the dust, then you need to act fast if you want to bring them back. Just like fast travel, however, reviving the dead will cost you a rare and limited resource. This isn't an item you will happen across during normal travel or find on sale in a shop. If you lost an important ally and need to bring them back to life, we'll show you the way.

Modern video games are a constantly shifting and bracingly ephemeral medium. The steady flow of patches and updates, the fickle nature of licensing and server shutdowns, the state of a given user’s internet connectivity — there are dozens of things that can crater or enrich a given video game experience.

Evidence of what appears to be a long-running history of exploitive behavior has been uncovered after a series of +30 keys with suspiciously high death counts and impossibly fast boss kills appeared on Raider.io! Using what are most likely anima powers taken out of Torghast, the group of exploiting players managed to complete several +30 keys, including Murozond's Rise, Waycrest Manor, Atal'Dazar, Darkheart Thicket, and Galakrond's Fall. Despite attempting to hide their characters, community resources identified the suspicious runs, as well as identifying information contained within. At this point in time, this does not appear to be a widespread exploit, though it is not a particularly new one either.
