Instead of being limited to being human, Divinity: Original Sin II gives the player the option to also be an elf, dwarf, lizard, or undead, though that last one which is personally the most interesting option is not presently available in the Early Access build. There are also optional origin stories that the player can use for their character, four are currently available but more will be included in the final release. Origin stories not selected by the player will be seen in NPCs met during th...

The world of the sequel has also become much darker than the first time we visited it. The narrative is more grounded this time around, but with the Divine being dead and the Void growing things are much more desolate and dismal this time around, though with the greater emphasis on doom and gloom the distinct narrative voice we have come to know from Larian studios remains in place. In addition to the humans and humanoid races, information may also be gathered by communicating with spirits and a...

In a departure from the first game where the player assumed the role of a Source Hunter to rid the world of the forbidden magic known as Source, we are now taking on the role of a Sourcerer. Taking place 1000 years after the events of its predecessor, the story begins with the player being held prisoner in Fort Joy, a misnomer if there ever was one. The Divine is dead and the Void is expanding, which will eventually consume this godless world if it remains unchallenged. Sourcerers are taking the...

The Striker Burst Rifle isn’t the deadliest AR in the world, but it is consistent as long as players are patient with it. As a burst-fire rifle, players are going to fire shots in 3-round bursts which limits their fire rate but does provide a cushion to maintain recoil for longer-distance engageme The only Sniper Rifle so far in Chapter 6 Season 2 is the Falcon Eye Sniper, and the Mythic variant provides even further damage output than the previous incarnations found throughout the map. As ...

Before the Alien franchise was full of action-packed set-pieces and universe-spanning conflict, it was focused on horror. Essentially a slasher movie set on a spaceship, the first Alien goes for a decidedly scarier vibe than its successors, and that same tone is captured perfectly in the video game Alien: Isolati March and April may not hold as many options as previous months, but there are still quite a few good picks available. Suits returns to USA; Whose Line Is It Anyway? proves what wo...

Chapter 3 of Fortnite opened with the player character being drifted onto a smaller island of the new map, trudging along until they are greeted by the Foundation, who is with a group of other loopers. He tells the player that they will find a way to "break the loop," which has been a recurring theme since Chapter 1. The camera then pans over to the brand new map, which features about four main biomes: a snowy tundra, the usual grassy forest, a desert, and an archipelago which seems to be where ...

Several weeks ago I was fortunate enough to get some hands on time with Divinity: Original Sin II at PAX . That experience only gave a brief glimpse into what is offered in this build and I imagine I will feel the same way about the Early Access build when the complete game is released. The predecessor was a massive choice-driven RPG that was in the vein of classic computer RPGs. The bar was set high by Divinity: Original Sin and everything that made that title so great returns here and then som...

This Light Cone does not have the whopping DEF boost that Moment Of Victory does, but it does give the wearer a modest 16 percent DEF boost and increases DMG RES for all allies by eight percent.

Of course, the boosts are good, Understanding The Characters Every Path, Explained Best Light Cones For Each Path Five Star Character Tier List Four Star Character Tier List The Best Character Skills, Ranked The Bes...

Though it is a sequel by name, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is not a sequel by nature, taking place in a different city and allowing players to don the fangs of a different vampire. Set in Seattle, players take on the role of a freshly awoken elder vampire, able to choose from four of the vampire clans from the pen-and-paper RPG , with more likely released as DLC following the SLG Game news's rele There will be several different killers in the game, each loosely based on different c...

As noted before, Strength should be your primary attribute. Every few levels defer a bit to Memory for more skill slots, Wits to improve crit rate and initiative, or Constitution to meet shield requirements. Note that each point in Polymorph will also give an extra attribute point to spend. Warfare will increase your raw Physical attacks. You should also grab whatever combat abilities to meet skill requirements, like Scoundrel and Necroman This can cause players to miss entertaining encounters a...
