As part of the explosion in interesting and advanced Baldur’s Gate 3 modding projects that have popped up since Larian unleashed the official toolkit, one modder’s busy swapping out the game’s turn-based fights for real-time ones. After originally being shared in pretty basic form, their work now features both a working pause button and the ability to get your party involved in these frenetic skirmishes.In addition the the likes of custom maps and custom quests involving clown noses, modder tinybike’s project to swap BG3’s turn-based fights for RTWP ones that’re similar to the first two Baldur’s Gates has certainly been worth keeping an eye on, and it’s gradually growing into something you could actually use from a playthrough without issue.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings In the latest YouTube video the modder’s put out of them testing out their work, they show off the fact that they’ve now managed to get the ally/companion AI working to the point that you can delve into a battle and they’ll actually help you out, as well as having already implemented the pause function that was previously lacking. Previous versions of the mod had been limited to just the player character, since the likes of Lae’zel and Karlach would presumably just have been standing about, their original code not having prepared them for this kind of thing.Now, though, you can be less lonely, with tinybike having employed Lae’zel and Shadowheart to help them tackle one of the early fights while you’re still on the Nautiloid. Writing in the description of this latest test video that the mod – which you can check out here – is still in a “very rough draft” state, tinybike adds that “The companion and ally AI (using the term “AI” very loosely here haha) is still super basic, but they actually do stuff now!”Real time combat test 3 – companions & timers (Baldur’s Gate 3) Watch on YouTube”Many people have commented that combat seems really imbalanced, which is 100% true,” they explained in the description of a previous test video, “Right now, I’m just trying to see if this system fundamentally works, or if there are show-stoppers that would make RTwP impossible in BG3.”The main challenge right now is that the built-in BG3 combat AI is only accessible during normal turn-based combat. Just to test things out, I’m using some simple handrolled ‘AI’ logic, but I suspect this won’t work well for more complicated encounters. I’m currently digging through the Osiris APIs and Larian’s goals (scripts) looking for a way to poll the built-in AI (“what would you do, hypothetically, in this situation?”) outside of turn-based combat.”There’s still a lot of work to be done, with plenty of features listed as yet to be implemented – including the likes of multiple attacks, stealth, and both haste and initiative. That’s in addition to all the already added bits that need futher tuning, but it’s still incredibly impressive to see how far the mod’s come in such a short time.If you’re after more news about interesting Baldur’s Gate 3 modding project, a couple of modders are working on a “Wyll Cinematic Universe” that’ll allow you to spend more time with the Blade of Frontiers.

Between World of Warcraft: The War Within, Ara: History Untold, and the early-access release of Towerborne, Microsoft has an unusually prominent slate of PC-only games this fall. Of those three titles, Towerborne will eventually make it to Xbox Series X|S, but don’t get used to having Microsoft games skipping consoles. The company’s gaming CEO, Phil Spencer, has indicated that this was “an anomaly” that’s unlikely to be repeated.
“This is historical,” Spencer told Game FIle. “There might always be some anomalies, but I look at those three as an anomaly. We want our games playable across as many screens as possible. We think about the Xbox platform as the Xbox console, PC, and cloud. We want all the games playable across all of those. We want them to be Play Anywhere.”

Read moreTencent has unveiled its latest creation–an open-world survival game called Light of Motiram–and although the game’s recently released trailer is visually stunning, viewers can’t help but notice the game bears a striking resemblance to Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West.
Set in an ancient-yet-futuristic open world where players must craft items, maintain survival stats, and battle strange robotic beasts called Mechanimals, Light of Motiram certainly seems to be riffing on the Horizon aesthetic. The game’s environments, polygonal robot creatures, and even its tall grass all seem to be heavily inspired by the Horizon playbook, but Light of Motiram seems to have drawn inspiration from other games as well.
At various points in both Light…

“I was nearly in Harry Potter. Almost,” he said.
McAvoy auditioned for the role of Tom Riddle, and he was in the running, but the situation surrounding the deal was odd–and it led McAvoy to pass.
“They wanted to put me on a retainer. They offered me something. It was crazy. I’d hardly done any work [at that time]. Me and maybe 10 other actors, they wanted to put us on retainer so they could hold us and keep us to choose later who it would be,” he said. “It was a really …

Square Enix has made that easier over the years with its various ports that consist of certain games in full, others compressed into cutscenes. But there’s been one game that has been stuck on mobile devices, despite being one of the most important for the future of the series: Kingdom Hearts Union X Dark Road. This one has a whole bunch of lore, and one of its main characters even shows up in Kingdom Hearts 3 – another, smaller but soon-to-be important character, Strelitzia, also made an appearance in Kingdom Hearts 4’s first and only trailer.
