PCGamesN Saturday, February 15, 2025 7:09 AM 4X game Humankind just completely changed how war works, and it's for the better       Civilization 7 hasn't quite been the 4X game many of us hoped for so far. Huge changes to progression and issues with the user interface have marred the launch, but developer Firaxis is already hard at work bringing the historical strategy game back with plenty of patches. If you'd rather step away from Civ 7 while these changes come into effect, however, there's another, somewhat forgotten 4X experience getting some love. Humankind had a mixed launch, but the latest update offers up some big improvements.

Every time I check social media I'm bombarded with the apparent appearance of a new character in the game files, or talk of hidden modes that NetEase Games could be working on. It's too much. That's why I've cast it all aside, and you should too. This is especially true for recent scuttlebutt concerning an alleged PvE mode, as NetEase Games itself has put that talk to bed. Even so, the team hasn't completely discounted the idea.

Destructoid Saturday, February 15, 2025 5:48 AM Peculiar Poem solution in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (Holy Grail location)       The Peculiar Poem is one of the hardest puzzles to crack in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it has tested the wits of many players. Compared to typical puzzles, Peculiar Poem will seem odd. You'll just have a set of directions without any context, and the game doesn't even tell you what to do next. Thankfully, this guide will help you solve the puzzle and find the Holy Grail (I will explain the correlation in the second section). Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Peculiar Poem puzzle solution You get the puzzle from Bolek in the second Kuttenberg region. Naturally, it will take you a fair bit of time to reach this point. Bolek will claim that this poem contains the directions of a treasure called the Holy Grail. Of course, Bolek doesn't give you any clue about where the item actually is. To find out about the location, you'll have to decode what's written in the poem. "From two magical peaks, that gaze into the heavens, like a thirsty pilgrim I set out on the path. Across a valley overgrown to the very edge of the earth, there I shall drink from a spring that will not let me perish." Let's now take a look at where the Holy Grail actually is in located. Image via Destructoid Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Holy Grail location The Holy Grail can be found near the Sedletz Monastery. In the poem, the "two magical peaks" refer to the two spires of the Ossuary in the graveyard. From there, head south and go across the fields. You'll need to reach the river at the edge of the map, which is hinted at by the "valley overgrown to the very edge of the earth." The water is pretty shallow, and you'll find a broken box in it. You'll also find a Golden Chalice next to it (if you can't find the treasure, just over your mouse pointer, and the treasure will be highlighted). You'll also find a skeleton beside the treasure with a fork popping out of the water (use this as a landmark). There are a few more tricky puzzles that you can come across in the game, so make sure to check out our guide on Rosa's book location, which will also help you cure Captain Thomas.

Destructoid Saturday, February 15, 2025 2:33 AM Avowed Voice Actors: Kai, Marius, Giatta, Yatzli       Avowed has a pretty varied cast of voice actors who bring color to the magical world, and add a lot of personality to the myriad characters. As you begin your exploration in the game, you'll come across different characters, and there's a chance to have an in-game companion as well. Thanks to the casting, the in-game world feels pretty lovely and charismatic when you interact with them. Let's take a look at all the voice actors who are associated with the project, and how you and I may know them outside Avowed. All Voice Actors in Avowed There are four voice actors in the cast for Avowed, with each of them playing a character. Anjali Bhimani, who plays Yatzli Brandon Keener, who plays Kai Mara Junot, who plays Giatta Scott Whyte, who plays Marius Actor Character Other Works Anjali Bhimani Yatzli Yatzli is easily the most colorful of all characters, playing role of mage and a historian in Avowed. Interestingly, this isn't Anjali's only tryst with video games, as she also voices Symmetra in Overwatch 2, Rampart in Apex Legends, and Medusa in Stray Gods. Brandon Keener Kai Kai has already grown warm on me in my early days in Avowed, and that's largely due to the work of Brandon Keener. Of course, my first introduction to him was with Mass Effect, where he plays the role of Garrus. He has also worked in other big-ticket titles like The Elder Scrolls Online, Read Dead Redemption 2, and Persona 5 Tactica. Mara Junot Giatta Like Yatzli, Giatta is another mage who will help you on your in-game quests. Giatta is played by Mara Junot, who can also be found on Marvel Rivals (she's the one voicing Storm). She has worked in plenty of video games including Starfield and Mortal Kombat 1. If you're more into mobile-base games, you'll find her voices in Genshin Impact. Scott Whyte Marius Marius is the second character you'll come across in Avowed, and he is played by Scott Whyte. Scott has also worked in other titles like Black Ops 6, Spider-Man 2, and Diablo 4. If you're a fan of animated web series, chances are that you have also heard Scott in Neflix's Arcane. If you've started your in-game journey, the first job is to level up your character as quickly as possible. This will help you to boost your major and minor attributes. Similarly, it's vital to earn money, and there are different ways to do so. The post Avowed Voice Actors: Kai, Marius, Giatta, Yatzli appeared first on Destructoid.

The original game recently got a full remake decades on from when it first opened the FPS genre up to levels of freedom previously unseen. System Shock 2 was equally excellent, and a remaster (rather than a full remake) has been in the works for a while now. Well, that wait may soon be coming to an end. While I sadly don't have a release date to share with you right now, what I can say is that developer Nightdive will be revealing it next month during GDC.

Destructoid Friday, February 14, 2025 10:07 PM Who does John Noble play in Severance Season 2?       Even though John Noble had been cast for Season 2 of Severance, we've yet to see his character as we reach the halfway point of the season. Well, sorta. Let's talk about who John Noble plays in Severance Season 2. Image via Apple TV+ Who is John Noble's character? In the Severance Season 1 finale we learn that Burt's outie is actually married. We only see a glimpse of his husband when Irving's innie approaches Burt's house and bangs on the door. In Season 2 Episode 5, Burt confronts Irving about what happened in the finale of Season 1, before informing him that his husband, Cecil Fields, was upset about the events that transpired. Despite the trouble caused, Burt invites Irving over to his house to have ham with him and his husband Fields. It looks as though the Fringe and Lord of the Rings actor will be taking over the role of Burt's husband Fields in Severance Season 2. We haven't seen him just yet, but it looks likely we will in Severance Season 2 Episode 6 which is titled Atilla. So was John Noble cast as Fields in Severance Season 1? Nope! Even though we got a glimpse of Fields at the end of Severance Season 1, it was very brief and was not played by John Noble. In Season 1, Fields was portrayed by Arthur Brooks, who also appeared in Independence Day, Beverly Hills 90210, Newhart, and more. Interestingly, if you look back at the Season 1 finale, Arthur Brooks as Fields actually looked like it could have been John Noble. As such, it's likely the deal for Noble to play as Fields in Season 2 was already done, but he was unavailable to film the brief scene in the finale which led to them picking someone who could look close enough that it wouldn't be a complete shock to the audience to see him again in Season 2. Based on Irving accepting the invitation from Burt to come over and join him and Fields for ham, we might be finally seeing John Noble in Severance Season 2 pretty soon!

Destructoid Friday, February 14, 2025 5:52 PM What is the Avowed max level?       Each section of the Ability tree requires reaching various ranks in the Fighter, Ranger, and Wizard classes. If you want the most of this feature, you must unlock the maximum player level. So, let's dive into the Avowed max level. What is the maximum player level in Avowed? The Avowed maximum player rank is Level 30, where you must earn more than 100,000 XP. A feat such as this will undoubtedly take up a lot of your time, and it may only be achievable during the game's later stages. However, given that there's a ton of content in the beginning, it could be possible to reach the maximum rank if you explore Dawnshore, Emerald Stair, and Shatterscarp to the fullest. Avowed offers a multitude of ways to earn XP, from engaging in side quests to exploring new areas and undertaking bounty missions. One of the first things I like to do is fill out the map as much as possible. You can earn XP simply by walking into a new area, but you'll still need to fight off a few enemies here and there. For more help on this front, check out our guide on how to level up fast. Once you reach Level 20, you can start collecting from the final tiers in the Fighter, Ranger, and Wizard classes. There's not really a bad choice here, as it mainly correlates to your playstyle. Continue to earn XP to reach the maximum level, unlocking the Peak Performance achievement. Xbox users will get 30 G points out of it, which you can exchange in the store. Screenshot by Destructoid Even if you do unlock the maximum level, there's still a lot that needs to be done in the achievement collection. You'll likely have to do multiple playthroughs, especially when it comes to major choices. It also involves objectives with your Companion skills and solving all the treasure maps. These ventures will undoubtedly include a lot of grinding, but at least you'll have the advantage of a maximum player level. The post What is the Avowed max level? appeared first on Destructoid.

Destructoid Friday, February 14, 2025 5:27 PM Best early attributes in Avowed       Depending on which difficulty you're playing on in Avowed, your early selection of attributes can make or break your gameplay. Regardless of your preference, some stats are just flat-out more important than others early on, so here's a breakdown of which ones you should initially focus on. Best early Stats in Avowed Avowed is set within the same universe as the Pillars of Eternity series, and the stats available reflect this, meaning they function similarly here, and certain ones hold the highest value for your character in the early game. Might - Putting Attribute points into Might will increase your Damage and Carry Capacity. Both aspects increase in effectiveness as you add more points. For clarity, despite Might being a traditionally 'Physical' stat in most RPGs, in Avowed (and Pillars of Eternity), this stat's Damage increase refers to all damage types, including spells. Constitution - When putting points into Constitution, your character will gain increased Maximum Health and boosted Poison/Bleed Resistance. The extra resistances are nice, but the main value of this stat is that Health increase. The more points you put here, the bulkier you'll be in terms of overall hit points. Dexterity - Investing Attribute points into Dexterity improves your Attack Speed and Action Speed. Attack Speed means you will simply swing or fire your weapon faster. Action Speed refers to everything else surrounding Attack Speed, such as reloading a gun, casting a spell, or drawing a blade. Screenshot by Destructoid Perception - Placing points into Perception rewards your character with an increased Critical Hit Chance and a boost to your Maximum Range. Critical Hit Chance is self-explanatory, providing you with a chance to deal additional damage on a hit. Maximum Range refers to how far a ranged attack will fly before disappearing into the nether. It also reduces Damage Fall off of ranged attacks hitting a target at a distance. Maximum Range also works on spells. Intellect - Investing points into Intellect will provide your character with an increased Essence Pool and increase your Elemental Resistances. Essence is the equivalent of Mana in the Pillers of Eternity universe, which naturally includes Avowed. Resolve - The most unusual stat of them all, investing in Resolve increases your character's Maximum Stamina while improving your Second Wind Efficiency. Stamina determines how much you perform tasking actions such as attacking. Second Wind Efficiency relates to how much health you will get back should you trigger the Second Wind effect, which occurs after you die once in combat. Screenshot by Destructoid While every stat in Avowed is powerful, Constitution is the most valuable in the early game. Why? No amount of damage boosting will matter if you cannot survive a hit or two. This is especially true on the game's hardest difficulty, Path of the Damned, as enemy attacks that land are often fatal without Constitution investment. I highly recommend investing at least five to seven points into Constitution before branching off to making your build with the other stats. Your damage can be increased through speeding up attack animations, upgrading your gear, and enchanting your weapons, but Health is not so easily obtained, which is why the value of the Constitution is sky-high.

Destructoid Friday, February 14, 2025 5:07 PM What are Vaal Orbs in Path of Exile 2?       Path of Exile 2 is a game where you can go from building a god-tier character to accidentally turning your best gear into a cursed, unusable relic with a single click, all thanks to the chaotic beauty of Vaal Orbs. These mysterious little orbs can either skyrocket your item to greatness or plunge it into the abyss, so let's unravel what they actually do, when to use them, and why they're the ultimate gamble for any weary gear-chaser. What do Vaal Orbs do in Path of Exile 2? Vaal Orbs are a unique type of currency item in Path of Exile 2 that can be used to apply a powerful enhancement to your items. When used on an item, a Vaal Orb can modify that item in a random, unpredictable way. Screenshot by Destructoid Unlike other currency items in the game that apply specific modifications (like the Chaos Orb, which re-rolls item affixes), Vaal Orbs bring a sense of risk and excitement with every use. Either way, when a Vaal Orb is used on an item, that item is almost always permanently Corrupted. How Do Vaal Orbs Work? To use a Vaal Orb, right-click it and apply it to an item you want to enhance. This can be done to almost any item in your inventory, but it's crucial to understand what Vaal Orbs do before using them recklessly. Here's what could happen: Corruption - Using a Vaal Orb will always Corrupt the target item. This means the item is altered in some way, either positively or negatively, while preventing you from ever altering it again in any way. Some possible outcomes include adding an extra affix, upgrading the tier of an affix, or granting an entirely new ability, such as a bonus to critical hit chance or a new socket. No Changes - Sometimes, you might use a Vaal Orb on an item, and it will result in no visible changes. This is part of the randomness and risk factor associated with these Orbs. Even when no changes occur, the item will still be Corrupted in the process. Screenshot by Destructoid Negative outcomes - The more you play with Vaal Orbs, the more you'll realize that things can go wrong. In some cases, an affix might be removed entirely, and the item could lose its power. Let me be clear: this outcome can completely ruin an item, and there's nothing you can do about it. Unique bonuses - Some Vaal Orbs add completely new properties to items. For example, some armor pieces may gain specific stats or resistance modifiers that weren't previously available. These bonuses can significantly improve your build or add a much-needed utility to your character. This outcome is also the reason why many players use Vaal Orbs in the first place: for a chance the most powerful gear in the game. When should you use a Vaal Orb? One of the most exciting aspects of using Vaal Orbs is the high-risk, high-reward factor. But knowing when to apply a Vaal Orb is crucial to ensuring it's worth the gamble. You should use a Vaal Orb on an item after you've already done all possible enhancements to it through other methods, like using the standard crafting system. Vaal Orbs should be your last step, as they carry the risk of permanently locking in a modifier and corrupting your item. A prematurely corrupted item is of no use to anyone, so tread lightly before deciding to use one. Screenshot by Destructoid Consider the following scenarios before using a Vaal Orb on your item: Endgame gear - If you're at the endgame and have a piece of gear that's already been crafted or enhanced as much as possible, this is when you might want to take the plunge and use a Vaal Orb. While Vaal Orbs can weaken already strong items, using one at this juncture could lead to an item that is impossibly stronger than what you started with. If you hope to push your item to its maximum potential, consider using a Vaal Orb here. Items with high potential - If you're working with an item that has already shown to have high potential, whether it's rare or unique, using a Vaal Orb can push it to even greater heights. However, don't do this with an item you're not ready to part with, as corruption means you won't be able to alter the item again. Items you're willing to sacrifice - If you're experimenting with a piece of gear that you aren't heavily attached to and want to see if the Vaal Orb can turn it into something truly great, you should absolutely use a Vaal Orb on it. Just know that you may lose something valuable in the process. Only use Vaal Orbs when you're ready to risk it all for a chance at something extraordinary. They're designed to add that excitement and uncertainty to the crafting process. The reward could be a game-changing item, but the risk is real, and you could end up with a worthless piece of gear.
