     How to get Starfield digipicks

What is Starfield digipicking? There's going to be stuff in space that people don't want you to get your grubby little mitts on. They lock their cases, their cabinets, hell, even their doors. The fools. They don't know that you're already a master of digipicking - the futuristic version of Starfield lockpicking, obviously - and it'll take much more than a silly lock to stand in your way.

The full Starfield release date is edging ever closer, and the smell of adventure is in the air - well, in your spacesuit, anyway - if you're anything like us, you can't wait to gather your Starfield companions, wield the best Starfield weapons, and set off into the final frontier. With the help of Starfield digipicks, you can lockpick doors and containers, or even hack robots and Starfield turrets to disable them or turn them friendly.

     Assassin's Creed Black Flag vanishes from Steam, Ubisoft explains why

You might have noticed that the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Steam page no longer allows you to actually purchase the beloved stealth game hit. With the Assassin's Creed Mirage release date on its way, alongside the multiplayer-based AC Infinity, and the Japan-set Assassin's Creed Red, there have also been rumors of an AC Black Flag remake. The game's disappearance from Valve's storefront seems like a potential hint - perhaps a new, improved version is arriving soon. It's nice to dream, but speaking exclusively to PCGamesN, Assassin's Creed Black Flag creator Ubisoft says this is not the case.

     Baldur's Gate 3 Githyanki race overview

Who are the Baldur's Gate 3 Githyanki? Enslaved by the Mind Flayers for millennia, the Githyanki hail from the Astral Zone and are unparalleled warriors known for their silver blades and the red dragons they ride into battle. Their goal now is the complete destruction of the Mind Flayers. While they are humanoids, a Githyanki stands out due to their mottled yellow and green skin, long, pointed ears, and small noses.

Even if you didn't choose them as your starting Baldur's Gate 3 race, there is a Githyanki companion who you encounter very early on in the Baldur's Gate 3 story, entering the fray in a way we all hope to one day; soaring through the air, huge sword in hand. With that in mind, you'll want to know everything about this race before you build your character as there are notable subtleties. However, their stats mean you can turn your hand to many of the Baldur's Gate 3 classes if you choose.

     Anime Adventures codes September 2023

September 11, 2023: We added one new Anime Adventures code to our list.

What are the new Anime Adventures codes? If you're starting out trying to defend your base, you will want to summon the most powerful heroes and villains based on the most popular anime of all time, such as One Piece, My Hero Academia, and Dragon Ball, to stop the evil forces from storming your base. But, of course, some are more powerful than others, so if you want to get the most out of the game's gacha system, you'll want tons of codes.

Anime Adventures is a tower defense anime game built inside Roblox, and you can earn gems to summon units by grinding through levels and completing daily missions. AA codes can help you get even more gems, which you can spend on getting the best units in the game. New codes are released with every update, so if you see the prompt for a new update, do check back to see if there are any that you've not redeemed yet. While you're here, you should know that we also keep lists of Blox Fruits codes, King Legacy codes, and All Star Tower Defense codes to get you more freebies.

     Best Starfield weapons and guns

What are the best Starfield weapons? Sure, space is pretty cool, but it's also pretty dangerous. While you can use your ship's turrets in interstellar combat to (hopefully) avoid being turned into nothing but space debris, you need the best gun and throwables on your person when coming face-to-face with a towering alien beast.

So you're going to need a vast arsenal of sci-fi weapons and Starfield guns to survive your journey through the stars, coming up against enemies like the Starfield Crimson Fleet pirates and various Starfield creatures. From modified shotguns and modern swords to futuristic laser weapons and electromagnetic blasters, we used many of these weapons during our playtime for our Starfield review - here are just some of the best Starfield weapons with which to equip you and your Starfield ship.

How do you get Starfield materials and resources? There's a long list of the goods below, and just like space itself, it's likely far from being fully documented.

     Dying Light 2 microtransactions spark review bombing, Techland replies

Dying Light 2 microtransactions have generated a strong response from the zombie game's player base, as recent DL2 Steam reviews criticize developer Techland and its new owner Tencent for changing the way that Dying Light 2 in-game items are purchased.

     Tekken 8 roster – every confirmed and leaked character

August 22, 2023: Added entries for Dragunov, Shaheen, Steve Fox, Leo, Yoshimitsu, and Kuma.

Which characters are in Tekken 8? Over the years, many fighters have participated in the King of Iron Fist Tournaments, but the latest installment sees the absence of one key face in particular. Heihatchi Mishima is officially dead, and now the world's fate is in the hands of those rising to face his demonic son, Kazuya. Some directly oppose him, whereas others fight for their own ambitions.

Most of the characters in the Tekken 8 roster so far revealed are returning characters, and we've had enough time with some of them that we've got a Tekken 8 tier list that shows how good they are during the early stages of development. Some fighters have been with the fighting game series since the beginning, whereas others are more recent inclusions, and one character is even making a long-awaited comeback in Tekken 8. With 24 characters officially revealed and a recent potential leak showing a couple more, while we wait for the Tekken 8 release date, here is everything we know about the roster so far.

     Where to sell items in Starfield, and the best vendors for selling

Where can you sell Starfield items? There is so much loot in the galaxy. You'll very quickly run out of space in your inventory if, like us, you pick up everything and anything that's within arms reach. While you can store stuff in your ship's cargo hold, or in your companion's inventory, eventually, you're going to have to sell some of your worldly possessions.

To make things more difficult, it seems at first like you can't even sell all your unwanted stuff to the same vendor. New Atlantis has a number of different shops, but you'll quickly discover you can't sell your spare Starfield weapons to the convenience store, for example. This is what you need to know about selling Starfield items and where to go to get the most value.

     Best Starfield traits and which to pick

What are the best Starfield traits? Touted by Todd Howard as "the most flexible yet," Bethesda's latest suite of creation tools allows you to select unique starting character traits that apply positive and negative modifiers to your spacefarer. There's a wide variety of options on offer, so we've collected them all into one handy list to help you decide your favorites ahead of time.

Traits can offer additional choices when completing Starfield missions, such as granting access to additional dialogue options and determining faction allegiances. They also supplement your Starfield background and Starfield skills when shaping the character you've created in Starfield. Are you an introverted homebody who prefers to stay planetside, or a wanted street rat with alien DNA? Either is possible with Starfield traits - just take a look.

     Where to sell Starfield contraband

Where can you sell Starfield contraband? Every time you re-enter a civilized planet, your ship will be scanned and if you're carrying contraband, you may well be busted if they spot it. And if you don't have a Shielded Cargo Hold then, well, you'll get busted every single time.

Designing your Starfield ship to your exact vision is something that will take a lot of Starfield money and time, but there is one specific part you should get as quickly as possible to make smuggling Starfield contraband a much smoother process. Once you've smuggled the illegal goods, you can then go on to sell them - here's what you need to know.

     Starfield Steam reviews slump post-launch, no longer 'very positive'

Starfield Steam reviews are down from an overall 'very positive' to a lower 'mostly positive' less than a week after the Bethesda RPG game's full release. The successor to Skyrim and Fallout, our own Starfield review identifies a handful of issues with the galactic adventure, with players also offering criticism of Bethesda's latest. Starfield is now rated 7/10 according to Steam users, though the system on Valve's storefront means the game could soon return to a higher score.

     Mass Effect may go back to

Before Starfield there was Mass Effect, Bioware's iconic space game - although it certainly didn't age as well as the studio likely wanted it to. With the Dragon Age Dreadwolf release date seemingly a while off, and Bethesda's titanic space opera now out in the world, eyes have turned to what the next Mass Effect 4 might look like - and it's good news if you, like me, prefer the game's classic format over Andromeda's open world.

     How to pickpocket in Starfield

How do you pickpocket in Starfield? If you have fond memories of pickpocketing unsuspecting NPCs in Fallout and Skyrim, you might be wondering if Bethesda is carrying on that trend in Starfield.

Bethesda RPG games typically feature pickpocketing alongside perks that also level up your stealing and sneaking skills, and this remains true in Starfield. While it's tempting to shape yourself as a lovable rogue or interstellar hero in Starfield character creation, you might find yourself resorting to slyly stealing things from the pockets of everyone you see in Starfield cities. So, if you want to know how to successfully pickpocket in Starfield, we've got you covered.

The Mortal Kombat universe has smashed the big red reset button - yes, again. And, in the aftermath of an increasingly muddled, corner-painting trilogy, NetherRealm Studios has decided that it might be best to turn back the clock on the fighting game's decades-long battle of the realms. And so next month will see the launch of Mortal Kombat 1, not to be confused with Mortal Kombat (1992), Mortal Kombat (2011), great cinematic endeavor Mortal Kombat (1995), or middling cinematic endeavor Mortal Kombat (2021).

Bethesda are adding official support for Starfield mods in 2024, Bethesda Games Studios top banana Todd Howard has told Famitsu in a Japanese language interview. People are already modding Starfield, of course - the options range from "Potato Mode" functionality for lower-spec computers, through somewhat controversial Starfield DLSS mods, to the all-important Starfield script extender, which lets other modders add "scripting capabilities and functionality" to the game. But Bethesda have yet to release proper in-house tools, aka Creation Kit 2.
