Larian Reveals Where Most Players Are Dying In Baldur’s Gate 3

One week after the early access launch of Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian is releasing its first major patch–but more importantly, has shared some anecdotes on the choices players are making in the game. Notably, the studio has shared a player death heatmap to see where the most players have lost their lives.

Yellow highlights show where the most players have died in Baldur's Gate 3.
Yellow highlights show where the most players have died in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Not only is the heatmap interesting for those who have explored the dangers of the expansive map themselves, it’s an important QA tool for Larian to check whether player deaths are occurring in unexpected areas, so they can continue to refine Baldur’s Gate 3 for its full release. Of course, like any good D&D game, it’s also led to some great stories.

Most of them, for whatever reason, involve Gale. It turns out that a lot of people don’t like Gale, with Larian noting that player deaths spiked around the location of his introduction. While the conversation with Gale isn’t really meant to turn into a combat encounter, it still can if you choose to fight instead of listening to what he has to say.

Gale is also the most killed NPC, with 333,757 total deaths logged in the last week. Party members have murdered Gale at a rate of four times more than any other NPC–though luckily, he has a contingency plan for that eventuality.

As far as player deaths go, there are a whole host of dangers that players are falling victim to. 5717 players died trying to tame the Owlbear Cub, for example, while exactly 4000 met their end as a result of “interrupting the intimate moments of Ogres and Bug Bears.” Don’t feel bad if you died at the encounter with the fallen Mind Flayer, Larian says, because at least 3753 other players did the same.

With Baldur’s Gate 3 designed to have near endless story possibilities for its players, its no wonder Larian is sharing some of the interesting eventualities that have come to pass. “Play however you want, in whatever way you want,” the update reads. “There’s no one way to play the game. We’ve created systems that try to react to whoever you are, and whatever you do. The results of this make the game better.” The studio has encouraged players to be a little more creative with the character creator after finding that most people were just making “the default Vault Dweller,” however.

Check out more of the game’s first-week anecdotes and the full patch notes in Larian’s Steam update. Baldur’s Gate 3 is currently available in early access through Steam, GOG, and Google Stadia.

LOTR TV Show Writer Can’t Talk About It, So Stop Asking

Information about Amazon’s big budget Lord Of The Rings series is still very thin on the ground, with most news off the set simply confirming whether production is in motion or not. Now, a screenwriter attached to the project has had to ask fans to stop assuming all her tweets are about the show.

After Peter Jackson proved how beautifully Tolkien’s works could adapt to film with his Lord Of The Rings trilogy (and, to a lesser extent, the later Hobbit trilogy) it’s no wonder fans are excited to see more of Amazon’s big budget TV show set in Middle-earth’s Second Age.

Speculation about the show was kicked into a frenzy when TheOneRing.net reported that the production had hired NZ intimacy coordinator Jennifer Ward-Lealand, which got fans wondering whether Amazon was planning to write Game Of Thrones-style nudity and sex scenes into Tolkien’s generally quite chaste world. One of series screenwriter Gennifer Hutchison’s tweets was then taken to be a response to these rumors, leading to the writer deleting her tweet.

The later tweet is a great reminder that we won’t be seeing Amazon’s cast or crew comment on the production until more official information is set to be released. Cast member Nazanin Boniadi shared a similar sentiment in a recent interview, only saying that she was excited about the production but was sworn to secrecy on most aspects of the production.

If you’re still desperate to know more, check out GameSpot’s guide to everything we know about the series so far, including the setting, cast, budget, and more.

Harmonix Confirms Rock Band 4, All DLC Will Work on Next-Gen Consoles

Rock Band 4 developer Harmonix has confirmed that Rock Band 4, all DLC, and a vast array of Rock Band peripherals will work from day one on Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles launching next month.

While Sony has previously clarified the PS5 is compatible with “99 percent” of the “thousands” of PS4 games it has tested – and Microsoft has similarly explained almost all Xbox One games will run on Xbox Series S and X beyond a few “one-off exceptions here or there” – Rock Band 4 is in a fairly unique position. Not only does it require a pile of bespoke peripherals to play (some of which date back to the PS3 and Xbox 360) – it also supports thousands of individual pieces of DLC from a catalogue of songs stretching back to 2007.

[ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/10/19/rock-band-4-rivals-official-launch-trailer]

“Our team has been diligently testing a bunch of old gear on the new systems to make sure everything works exactly as it does today,” explained Harmonix in a new post on the studio’s official site. “When you break open those crisp new consoles, you should be able to connect your existing, compatible peripherals and play Rock Band 4 right out of the box.”

“All DLC currently available for download will also work on new consoles. No messy generation transition this time, it’s the same DLC!”

The team also discovered a “pretty sizable performance increase” on both new consoles, especially when it came to load times. It would appear the only minor hurdle the team found is that the PS5 defaults to the microphone available in the controller: “If you want to use a regular USB mic, you’ll have to change that in your console settings,” explains Harmonix.

You can browse the full list of the instrument peripherals Harmonix tested – including controllers dating back to Rock Band 2 – on the studio’s blog post.

With new songs still being released on a weekly basis Harmonix noted it hopes to continue support for Rock Band 4 “for the foreseeable future.”

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day 2020 Image - 13 & 14 October 2020Prime Day is a massive shopping event put on by the online retailer Amazon, specifically curated for the use of Amazon Prime members. Prime is a premium membership system where users can get access to a wide range of benefits, such as next day delivery, Prime Video, and even several exclusive deals throughout the year, including every single deal that pops up during Prime Day. Prime Day usually situates itself in the Summer, normally July, but with everything that’s been going on in the world, it now finds itself firmly in October instead.

Prime Day starts at 00:01 AM on October 13 and ends at 23:59 on October 14, so you’ve got two full days of deals to race through when it finally launches. But, we’re here to help with everything Prime Day and will be covering all the new and exciting deals that we are expecting to pop up.

If you’re not already a member, now is the time to sign up and take full advantage of the event. A 30-day free trial won’t cost you a thing, and you’ll be getting access to all of the best electronic, gaming, and tech deals available during the two-day event for 2020. If you’re a seasoned Amazon shopper, then the 1-year membership offers the best long-term value. The $119/yr fee is well worth the many perks of Amazon Prime.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=amazon-prime-day-top-deals”]

Amazon Prime Day 4K TV and Movie Deals

Save hundreds on Sony’s highest end 4K LED and OLED TVs, save up to 43% off Fire TV Recast DVR boxes, or stock up on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray sets.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=best-prime-day-amazon-fire-deals”]

Amazon Prime Day Headphone and Electronics Deals

No “sale of the year” is complete without lowest prices ever on Apple accessories. You won’t find a better price on these Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro truly wireless earbuds. For the sound aficionados, save big on the two best noise cancelling headphones out there: the ultra classic Bose QuietComfort 35 II or the highly-regarded Sony WH-1000XM4.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-electronics”]

Amazon Prime Day Video Game Deals

I’m actually surprised by the number of deals that are out there (Amazon Prime Day generally isn’t known for having a crazy amount of gaming deals). Get some of the best Nintendo Switch games at 33% off, earn 25% cashback on Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, or Xbox Store gift cards, or save on a Nintendo Switch Online or PlayStation Now subscription.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-switch”]

Amazon Prime Day Laptop and PC Deals

Amazon doesn’t have very many computers on sale for Prime Day so I’m throwing in some tantalizing Dell deals. Why you ask? The RTX 3080 is all the rage and unfortunately impossible to find. Dell has RTX 3080 equipped Alienware PCs at reasonable prices and they promise a reasonable delivery window.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=best-prime-day-gaming-laptops”]

Amazon Prime Day External Hard Drive and SSD Deals

These external hard drives add more space to your PC, PS4, or Xbox One. They’ll also be compatible with the next generation consoles like the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. With some games requiring a whopping 50GB-100GB of space, you’ll need the extra storage to fill out a decent digital library.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-external-storage”]

Amazon Prime Day Internal Hard Drives and SSD Deals

There are plenty of flavors of internal storage to suit your needs. Pick an SSD for speedy startup and near instant loading times. Or save some money and go with the traditional hard drive if storage space is what you’re after. APick a performance minded hard drive like the WD Black for running games or a reliable drive like the Seagate IronWolf for your NAS or backup needs.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-internal-storage”]

Amazon Prime Day MicroSDXC Memory Card Deals

You’ll need a Micro SDXC card to increase the storage space for your Nintendo Switch (which only has a paltry 32GB of onboard storage), GoPro, dashcams, security cameras, or most modern smartphones. If you need a larger SD card, you’re in luck. These cards all include a MicroSD to SD adapter.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-flash-storage”]

Amazon Prime Day Echo Deals

There is absolutely no better time of year than Amazon Prime Day to score an Amazon Echo device. These prices are usually even better than Black Friday. The Echo Dot, for example, can do a ridiculous amount of things for something that only costs $19. It’s probably going to be the smartest stocking stuffer you can get, so stock up (no pun intended).

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=best-prime-day-amazon-echo-deals”]

Amazon Prime Day Fire Tablet and Kindle Deals

The Fire Tablet and Kindle eReaders are perfect family devices. With the Kindle, you can tote around an entire library of books in a device that’s not much bigger than your phone. The Fire Tablet is so inexpensive that you won’t even mind letting your kids use it without constant supervision. That wouldn’t be possible with an iPad that costs 4X as much.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=amazon-master-list-prime-day-tablet-deals”]

Amazon Prime Day Gaming Monitor Deals

The only monitor deals that are worth looking at on Prime Day are the ones that are catered towards gamers. These monitors have features that make your gaming experience as buttery as possible. That includes a low response time, high refresh rate, GSYNC compatibility, wide viewing angles, and more.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-monitor”]

Amazon Prime Day Razer Deals

There are so many Razer deals on Amazon Prime Day that they deserve a category of their own. Razer makes some of the best and flashiest peripherals on the market and today you’ll be able to save on mice, headsets, keyboards, keypads, mouse pads, microphones, and even high-end Xbox controllers.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-razer”]

Amazon Prime Day Gaming Accessory Deals

Razer isn’t the only brand sending in the big guns for Prime Day. You can score some great deals from SteelSeries, Logitech, HyperX, and Corsair as well. These deals are more sporadic so we’ll add to this list as we see them. Be forewarned that they tend to sell out faster too.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-peripherals”]

Amazon Prime Day Gaming Router Deals

If you need internet, there’s a good chance you’ll need a router. Wireless routers that use the 802.11ac 5GHz bandwidth have dropped in price significantly over the past year. Today, it’s very possible to score a solid wireless AC router for under $30. Of course you could pony up some more dollars and get balls to the wall speeds (just make sure you have an internet connection that can match up).

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-routers”]

Amazon Prime Subscription Deals

This might sound like a boring section but trust me, these are some of the absolute best deals you’ll find on Prime Day. Subscriptions cost money and they keep costing money. The Prime Day deals allow you to go multiple months paying a much lower cost (or in some cases without paying a dime).

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=master-article-amazon-prime-day-services”]

Amazon Prime Home and Kitchen Tech Deals

Games might be a big part of your life, but you also gotta take care of other things too, like your body, or your home. Amazon Prime Day is always a good time to stock up on other kinds of electrics, like a body trimmer for your unsightly navel hairs, a robot vacuum that will clean up your nail clippings with nary a complaint, and a blender that will pulverize the leftover contents in your fridge into something edible.

One month out from Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales‘ debut alongside the PlayStation 5, we’re learning some new details about the game’s technical capabilities and the story it’ll follow. The new information comes from a Game Informer cover story that has revealed both impressions on how the game plays on PS5 and some new details on the story.

While we’ve had some details on the game’s 60FPS Performance Mode, the Game Informer impressions reveal more about the higher-quality Fidelity Mode, which runs at 30FPS in 4K and will include ray tracing along with other visual enhancements. On PS5 the game runs without load screens even when fast travelling.

While the new game is set to showcase both Peter Parker and Miles Morales’ Spider-men, as revealed in past teasers, Miles doesn’t have to share the spotlight as the only playable character in the game. Miles also has his own unique set of animations that are a little sloppier than Peter’s, showing his learning curve as a new Spider-Man.

Other details revealed include the fact that Spider-Man: Miles Morales will include some surprise villains that haven’t yet been announced, with the game featuring even bigger set-pieces than its predecessor. Overall the sequel promises to be more than just a reskin of the 2018 game, with improvements on gameplay and whole new features such as the “Friendly Neighborhood Spider App” that uses the DualSense‘s touchpad.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales will launch for PS4 and PS5 on November 15, with an Ultimate Edition that includes Spider-Man Remastered coming exclusively to the PS5. Check out everything you need to know about pre-orders for all editions of the game.
