IGN UK Podcast #559: The Manic Marsupial and Jesse's Voice Changer

-
The manic marsupial, AKA Crash Bandicoot is back, and because he forgot to press record the first time; so is Dale with a second go at explaining all his thoughts on the game. Jesse is also on and has been playing a ton of Star Wars: Squadrons. In other news, he also has a new voice changer toy that distracts us for a good 30 seconds too. Cardy rounds off the trio by telling us all about his early thoughts of the Mafia Remaster and we also have an extremely tight round of The Endless Search that needs an action replay to decide a winner. It's tense stuff. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a game full of intricate detail. With so many dialogue options, characters, classes, and quests, everyone's experience is a little bit different.

That being said, it's a lot easier to somewhat plot your destiny when you know where you're going. IGN's Baldur's Gate 3 interactive map can help guide you on your quest through Act 1, 2 and 3.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Preloading Has Begun

-
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn't out for another week, but it's now officially available for preloading. As of today, Nintendo Switch users who preordered Tears of the Kingdom digitally can now preload the game a week early as expected. Of course, it still won't be playable until the game officially unlocks, but preloading it now might help you jump back into the world of Hyrule a little bit earlier — as GameSpot pointed out, the file is 16.2GB. Some fans have reported difficulty with getting the preload to begin, but it appears there's a simple solution. According to Twitter user @PhantomxKairi, canceling the preorder and preordering again should prompt the preload to begin correctly. My digital version of Tears of the Kingdom is now preloading on my Switch! For those who don't see the preload yet (I used a NSO game voucher) cancel the preorder and preorder again, download will pop up! Can't wait for May 12th <3 #Zelda #ZeldaTearsofth

Baldur's Gate 3 Modders Won't Stop Giving Astarion Guns

-

Since long before it left early access in August, players have jumped into modding Baldur's Gate 3, adding everything from 54 new races to new controls. However, one recent modding trend has shed light on one thing: players really, really want Astarion to have a gun.

Earlier this week, Nexus Mods user Palmaman33 uploaded several different gun mods to the site's Baldur's Gate 3 section, letting players bring guns to knife (or mace/staff/sword/anything) fights. These guns can be equipped by any character, but in almost every screenshot of these different mods shared by players on X/Twitter, however, the gun wielder always seems to be Astarion.

Normally, Astarion is a hedonistic High Elf Rogue who has a secret vampiric past, but players just haven't been able to stop replacing his usual default dagger with a gun for some reason, no matter how much chaos he might cause.

Even the modders themselves seem to also be in on the joke — the majority of gun mods on Nexus Mods, the most popular of which was made by Anxiety The Ork, seem to show off their models by giving them to Astarion (who's also occasionally adorned with sinister-looking glowing red eyes or a fun little hat) in screenshots and thumbnail images.

However, thanks to Astarion's... questionable actions, players have jokingly warned others of the dangers that might ensue by trusting the untrustworthy High Elf with such a lethal weapon.

"Be careful out there and stay safe, okay?" one player warned on ResetEra.

Astarion might not have a gun in the game without mods, but we still gave Baldur's Gate 3 a 10 in our review, calling it "a new high-water mark for CRPGs with satisfying combat and excellent writing." While there's no way of knowing how many times Astarion has been equipped with a gun, players have also loved romancing Shadowheart and (obviously) petting Scratch, according to stats released by Larian last month.
