Starfield fans are “gaming’s smartest fans” — or so Bethesda’s Todd Howard said in the spacefaring RPG’s bustling subreddit. It’s a bit of warm flattery fused with careful marketing hype, all wrapped in a feel-good message. Still, I appreciated it nonetheless as one of the first few eager Starfield players bursting through the doors of the game’s iconic Frontier starship in late August. But like many others, I only needed to dig slightly past the veneer of new-Bethesda-game excitement to realize Starfield’s release…

At the time of writing, Starfield has a mixed review score on Steam. Look, it’s not a bad game. It’s just not the dynamic-shifting epic Bethesda hoped it would be. But still, the studio is keeping that spaceship flying with some new features coming in the future. Expect updates for Starfield every six weeks In a recent post on Reddit, a spokesperson for the developer has said the team is grateful for all the feedback they’ve received. As well as working on some of the ongoing issues with Starfield, there are…

When you think of Christmas, you probably don’t think of Morrowind. And why would you? With its fantasy folklore and cursed Ashlands, it’s not a fictional universe ripe for December joy. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be an outlander and not get into the spirit of the season. To get all of us in the mood for the holidays, Nexus Mods user Danae123 has created an in-game advent calendar for Morrowind. Consisting of one gift per day, it gives you the chance to have a little festive joy up to December 24. Image via…

Skyrim mods have always been a vital aspect in keeping the aging Elder Scrolls game alive and well. While the vast majority of them are free to download and install, Bethesda is once again interested in keeping some of the higher quality ones back for profit. A recent update for Skyrim was sent out and with it, Bethesda announced Creations, a new way for “players to discover, download and play community-made content.” In a nutshell, it means modders specially picked by the developer can earn a bit of money for their…

There’s something awfully impressive about the fact that Fallout 76 is still kicking, five years after its infamous release. In fact, it’s just received a major new DLC; one that takes the Vault dwellers to the Jersey Shore, of all places. Enter Fallout 76: Atlantic City – Boardwalk Paradise. It goes without saying that Bethesda didn’t miss a beat in leveraging Atlantic City’s emblematic entertainment options. Boardwalk Paradise is chock-full of gambling mini-games (unless you’re from Belgium, Czech Republic, Djibouti,…

The Fallout TV series just got a trailer, giving us a glimpse into its irradiated post-apocalyptic world. Unveiled during the Comic-Con Expo (CCXP) event in Brazil, the show brings forth an original story set in a dilapidated Los Angeles and runs canon to the Bethesda game's universe — adding to the franchise, instead of adapting from one of its titles. However, just like the games, the tale largely follows a vault dweller who heads out into the nuclear wasteland in search of answers and in the process, meets countless…

Adjust your watches, because Deathloop is joining the Prime Gaming service on December 7. You can redeem an Epic Games Store code from Amazon’s website on that date.

When questing across the realm of Cyrodiil in Oblivion, it can be easy to forget that even the Hero of Kvatch might enjoy a snack. However, if you’re sick of wheels of cheese and shiny, green apples, a couple of people have made it possible to eat something far more enjoyable. If you’ve got that craving for some in-game pizza, hrodeberht1 and bella over on Nexus Mods may have just what you need. Their “Necro Pizza Cyrodiil” mod adds in a delivery service that gives you the option to order your character a hot, cheesy…

Imagine leaving a bad review on Steam only to log on one day and find that the creators of that game had responded. That’s exactly what’s been happening to Starfield players as of late. Currently saddled with a Mixed status derived from over 80,000 user reviews, Bethesda has gone into damage control mode to respond to its harshest critics. Reviews that call the game boring have been met with direct responses as the publisher explains that perhaps that’s the point. “Some of Starfield’s planets are meant to be empty by…

No matter how old it gets, people still seem to flock to Skyrim and its chilly world of fantasy possibilities. The fact that there are so many interesting NPCs to interact with arguably makes it that extra bit appealing. But what happens when you grow tired of this slice of Tamriel being full of characters and wildlife? Why, you go on a killing spree, of course. That’s what Reddit user amelix34 did at least (thanks GamesRadar). A post on the Skyrim sub shows sheer dedication when it comes to attempting to kill every…
