Making Baldur’s Gate 3 Characters In This Figure Creation Tool Is My New Obsession
22.8.2023
I love video game statues and figurines. My desk and shelf at home are cluttered with visions of Kaidan Alenko from Mass Effect and Joel from The Last of Us in miniature. But as a person who loves making custom characters in RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3, I’m often left wanting something tangible...

Getting Through Baldur’s Gate 3’s Shadow-Cursed Land Is Simpler Than It Seems
22.8.2023
One of my biggest pain points with Baldur’s Gate 3 is its vague journal. In my first playthrough, I spent more time than I’m willing to admit chasing false leads because quest descriptions made it seem like solutions were hidden in the nooks and crannies of places I’d already been, only to find...
