Plenty of video game news to catch up with while I was on holiday in Jeju, South Korea. That trip was an interesting one, and just so you know, I picked the Nintendo Switch over the Steam Deck as my travel buddy simply because it had more games installed in it.

Dredge’s New Update

First up, one of my candidates for Game of the Year, Dredge, has received another free update.

In the new update, players get to fish for an additional 13 creepy crustaceans while engaging the services of a new NPC, the ‘Painter’ to give their vessel a new lick of paint (and a flag).

The game is available on multiple platforms, and be sure to check out our review of the game: https://www.nineoverten.com/2023/04/02/dredge-pc-review-fishing-with-a-splash-of-horror/

Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 3 Brings Full Mac Support and Magic Mirror

In more recent news, Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available on the Mac in it’s full release form and with this new update, dubbed Patch 3, the critically-acclaimed RPG finally allows players to change their characters’ appearance in-game via the Magic Mirror.

The Magic Mirror lives in the party’s camp and allows players to change up their appearance whenever they’d like. There are some restrictions: your appearance, voice, pronouns and nether region can be changed, but race/subrace and body type cannot. Origin characters, hirelings, and full illithids cannot use the Magic Mirror, and any cosmetic modifications that are a consequence of gameplay choices will persist. Hehehe.
