Don't neglect the minimap. If you have an active quest on the other side of an area transition door, the quest marker will appear on the door.

Yeah, for all we can say that the Thrawn trilogy got written out when Disney turned the EU into Legends, it really started 'way back when the prequel trilogy came out and clones didn't work the way Zahn envisioned them. If I were to reimagine it at this point I'd maybe have the lost fleet be...

I feel like Rise of Skywalker kinda already did the whole "hidden fleet" thing to death, they'd have to put a serious new spin on it.

Yeah, the illusory door in the hag's lair was seriously frustrating in my first playthrough. There's no indication that you need to not interact with it to get past it, and it takes up so much of the screen that just finding some place beyond it to click isn't at all intuitive.

Are you using Alt to highlight interactable items in the environment (and Shift to highlight enemy line of sight for stealth)? That should eliminate pretty much any pixel hunting you need to do.

I'm currently replaying Divinity Original Sin 2, have just finished the first chapter and left Fort Joy island. It's an interesting contrast to BG3, with no concept of an adventuring day and the ability to completely recover after every fight. Aside from potions and throwables, the only 'class'...

Depends on the level of story-ness you're looking for. Certainly some content creators do a fair amount of editing to keep things flowing. I like Many a True Nerd for his playthroughs. The issue to bear in mind is that it's a really inefficient way for someone to make content, especially with...

Shout out to the PS4 God of War soundtrack for being truly cinematic in quality. The vocal performances and animation of the characters is great, but it really feels like the music is doing so much work in conveying Kratos's emotions and presence.

I feel like the legs are less impressive than manufacturing himself a new digestive system. Still waiting for the epic tale of Darth Maul's lower half. Maybe it managed to graft itself onto the head and torso of one of the battle droids that got bisected during the fighting.

Hank certainly wasted no time ramping up once he got past the prototype stage. I think the major issue this season is that there's no real sense that it's building to anything. Plotlines are moving, but they don't feel like they're converging the way they did last season, and nobody feels like...

Fair enough, but the story is always what discourages me from playing through Fallout 4 again. Then again, the gameplay prevented me from ever getting very far into the story of either Fallout 1 or 2. Not sure how Fallout New Vegas doesn't make the cut, on either criteria, though.

How about having the eyes have drawbacks or side effects due to them never having been meant to be controlled by mere mortal minds. Like, the Charm eye causes people to randomly become infatuated with you at inopportune moments, or the Sleep ray turns you into that one teacher from Ferris...

Sony seems to put a really high value on stories in the games they publish or support, and have done a good job of delivering some very good stories to their platform. Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima and Spiderman all managed to combine story and gameplay very well to deliver...

I've seen too much Konosuba not to find it hilarious. If there's not a Spellcaster with Prestidigitation in the party, my main concern would be how far the nearest bath house is. With some characters I'd feel more sorry for the toad, swallowing all that spiky metal.
