Dragon Age: The Veilguardis a solid addition to the series, but there’s almost no mention of the Hero of Ferelden.

This tiny reference is not enough for a protagonist who has greatly influenced theDragon Ageuniverse and shaped the stories of many characters. WhileInquisitionoffered some explanation as to why the hero isn’t in the games,it’s no longer valid....

Ark: Survival Ascendedcan already feel like an out-of-this-world experience, but one mod can make it into a true fantasy world.Ascendedhas done a good job capturing what made its predecessor good and expanding on it. Though it is not without faults, the game is unarguably a massive improvement. The title’s success is helpful given that the highly anticipated sequel has faced considerable delays and still has no concrete launch date. Regardless, the upgraded title is still set to see more DLC in the near future....

While fishing is an everyday activity inFields of Mistria, catching all four Legendary Fish is easier said than done.

The upcomingHarry PotterTV show has sparked controversy and conversation, but there are a few ways that the reboot can improve upon the first screen adaptation of the books. There’s little question that theHarry Potterbooks and movies contradict themselves and incorporate plot points that become confusing later on.

I enjoy “talking shop” with otherDungeons & DragonsDungeon Masters, but it’s become apparent to me that there is a fundamental misunderstanding in many gaming groups regarding the difference between a story and a series of events. Some groups view tabletop RPGs as a medium for collaborative storytelling, and others are just seeking a dungeon crawling simulator. While there is no wrong way to have fun, for groups that do aspire towards storytelling and roleplay,failing to grasp what a story is can lead to unsatisfying and incoherent experiencesat the gaming table....

It is hard to deny thatShadowsimproves upon its predecessors - at least the modernAssassin’s Creedgames - in almost every way, rarely falling short of the high expectations placed upon it....

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2will finally reunite players with Henry of Skalitz after seven years, and there’s one part of his story that definitely needs to return. The much-anticipated sequel has a lot on its plate, improving the first-person historical RPG’s combat with exciting new weapons and vastly expanding the scope with a significantly larger world to explore. Even when juggling all of that, however, failing to deliver on some narrative payoffs would be a huge mistake....
