10 BG3 Characters Fans Still Want as Companions

Baldur’s Gate 3is full of moments like this: A great character, an intriguing story, and then no reliable way to learn what happens next. For Mizora — Wyll's patron devil, the one who granted him his warlock powers — a new mod has delivered a way around that issue. While Mizora technically does hang out in camp, she does so only on her terms — and when you see her, generally, you want to shove her back into whatever pocket of the Nine Hells she's crawled out of. Unless, of course, you can recruit her hellish talents to support your aims. Now, thanks to the brand new mod Mizora Joins the Party from modder WorldWalker42, you can do exactly that. She's not the only NPC who deserves an upgrade to companion status. Here are 10 more.

11 best anime to watch if you like Frieren

While Frieren remains unparalleled, a handful of anime come close to capturing its laid-back vibe or mirroring some of its core themes. Ongoing titles like Delicious in Dungeon or The Apothecary Diaries might not evoke 1:1 comparisons with Frieren, but they do convey a similar sentiment of coziness. Some stories follow protagonists on similar epic journeys, while others linger on the warmth shared between traveling companions.

‘I was so tired’: Behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s beloved ‘whee whoo’ scene

Image
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen would be the first to tell you: writing a video game is work . At least writing a novel is a one-person operation for most of the time. At least a screenplay for a film only needs to come in around 120 pages, unless you’re working for Martin Scorsese. But writing a video game? That means filling hours of space, bending the material to fit the play, and usually working with a team of other writers to make it all cohere. Sometimes to hit a deadline, you just need to throw words at the wall. Especially when it’s 3 a.m. That can still result in brilliance. All the Frenchy bits and bobs in Clair Obscur have captured the imaginations of players, but few quite like the character of Esquie, and especially one camp conversation in which the oversized gestral reflects on his friend François with Verso. Verso knows François to be a grump, but Esquie insists that “Franfran used to be all ‘Wheeee!’ But now he’s all ‘Whooo.’” Over about...

The new Vox Machina book finally gives Shaun Gilmore his due — read an excerpt here

As soon as Random House revealed the table of contents for its short-story collection Critical Role: Vox Machina — Stories Untold (publishing March 4), I knew exactly which story I wanted to read first: Aabria Iyengar ’s “Shaun,” about everybody’s favorite recurring NPC with a crush on a PC, Shaun Gilmore . I always felt like Shaun got a raw deal in Critical Role’s animated adaptation The Legend of Vox Machina : He’s portrayed as a skilled sorcerer, a savvy merchant, and a scheming politico, but he’s also kind of an affection-operated dispensing machine, and a bit of a retro queer stereotype. The original actual play episodes offer some humanizing detail about him, and put his relationship with Vox Machina party member Vax’ildan on a more equal footing. But the animated series makes his long-standing crush on Vax seem both a little oppressive (constant, unreciprocated, gushy flirting; Vax always looking a bit squirmy and constipated around him) and like a weakness that turns him in...
