Avowed brings back a joke pistol from Pillars of Eternity that literally tells you not to use it, but you can immediately upgrade it into a killer hand cannon

(Image credit: Obsidian) “This is a terrible weapon that disappoints anyone who uses it,” reads the description of the Disappointer, a unique pistol in Avowed. “Those who aren’t fooled by its appearance still occasionally attempt to use it just to see if maybe the whole thing was made to look this way as an elaborate

The new game from The Witcher 3’s director revives the best tradition of Morrowind by letting you kill off ‘really important NPCs’

Time was, videogames let you just kill whoever. Plucky sidekick, love interest, authoritarian father figure, plot-critical NPC—all these and more were fodder to a sufficiently trigger-happy player. The best games to ever do it were, I reckon, Fallout: New Vegas and The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. The former was designed to adjust the plot whenever

‘I strive to be half the hater he is’: Elden Ring Nightreign players have decided that Margit was the most annoying invader during the playtest

Fortnite-dropping into The Lands Between wasn’t exactly how I thought I’d spend my weekend, but I also couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to experience Elden Ring Nightreign for myself. Despite being a bit confused and very afraid to start with, I soon got the hang of the fast-paced fights and chaotic boss battles, except

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has almost hit 2 million sales, a ‘reminder’ to parent company Embracer ‘to bring great products to the market’

As reported by VGC, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is nearing two million units sold across all platforms just under two weeks after it hit one million on its launch day alone. This has apparently “reminded” developer Warhorse’s parent company, The Embracer Group, that selling good games that people like and want to buy is an

Diablo 4’s second expansion won’t be out until 2026

Diablo 4’s plan for annual expansions seems to have gone mildly awry, as franchise general manager Rod Fergusson said during a DICE panel today that the game’s second expansion won’t be out until sometime in 2026. Word of the longer-than-expected wait for the second expansion comes from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who posted Fergusson’s update on

Warhorse announces official modding support for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, turning Bohemia into a canvas for all manner of pervert ambitions

I loved Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. You can tell because I wrote like 1,500 words about loving it and then put a big 90% above them in our Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 review, but do you know what would make it even better? If I had some means to mod Henry’s hands into feet. I’m

Geralt will definitely appear in The Witcher 4, Doug Cockle confirms (again): ‘I can’t wait to see what they do’

Doug Cockle, voice of Geralt of Rivia in CD Projekt Red’s trilogy of Witcher games, has returned to his role this week in Netflix’s animated movie adaptation Sirens of the Deep. He told me that getting into Geralt’s voice is like “slipping into a warm bath” but also like a muscle he’s done a lot

Kingdom Come 2: Deliverance romance options—Everyone Henry can pursue in medieval Bohemia

(Image credit: Deep Silver) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Bohemia is for lovers. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s romance options are many and varied, ranging from quick flings to longer-term commitments, and the good news is that pursuing them isn’t all that hard. In some cases, it’s just a matter of picking

Karlach voice actor offers a pre-emptive no thanks to Disco Elysium successors that don’t include the original project lead: ‘Miss me with that casting call’

The post-Disco Elysium world we live in is… complicated. Following the release of one of the biggest and most acclaimed RPGs to come along in years, developer ZA/UM imploded, and left its wake are splinters of the shell, each claiming they’re making a Disco Elysium “spiritual successor” and putting in some real effort to discredit

GOG’s bespoke cut of The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall gets delisted tomorrow, so you’ve got a day to grab it for free as the store works out how ‘to publish and maintain such projects better’ in future

(Image credit: Bethesda Softworks) There’s something about Elder Scrolls games. For years, one of the most popular ways for newbies to get into Morrowind was a mod collection called the Morrowind Sound and Graphics Overhaul (MGSO), which bundled up a bunch of gameplay and graphics mods in an easy installer to give the game a
