At the end of 's second act, players fight and defeat Ketheric Thorm, the Chosen of Myrkul and general of the Absolute's army. This leads to the realization thatthe ultimate villains of the game are the Dead Three: Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul, as well as their mortal Chosen.

Save scumming. We all do it. None of us like admitting that we've cheated the rules in an RPG, but one upcoming indie game canonizes the act of overwriting saves, so you don't need to feel too ashamed.
One not-so-mildly annoyed Final Fantasy 14 fan has taken to creating a website to express just how much they despise a certain healing spell - and their dedication is impressive.

Some of them have specific prerequisites in order to function, such as only working for a certain race or class.

Not only has Larian Studios made sure to build the relationship of party members with the player character, it has also made sure that the relationships between NPCs are also clear.
Every story needs a good villain and benefits from its large cast of interesting antagonists. From scheming devils to eldritch horrors to plain old sadistic murderers, the game has no shortage of noteworthy foes for the player to take on. Some may start off as villains only to take a redemptive turn, while others may start on the player's side but shift in their morality.
is currently in a very weird transitional state.

Fifth edition has been hugely popular, and publisher Wizards of the Coast is promising that the new will maintain backward compatibility with all the adventures released over the past decade of play.
