Tripwire Interactive has been a mainstay in PC gaming since 2006.

Last year, though, Tripwire announced that it's making ******** Floor 3, which will likely cause the current iteration's player base to dry up over time.

A Skyrim player inexplicably runs into a Whiterun Guard on the island of Solstheim, a place far beyond Whiterun's jurisdiction. It has been over 12 years since Skyrim was released, and in the time since, it has proven to be the purest expression of what a Bethesda sandbox aspires to be. The Legendary Edition, Special Edition, and Anniversary Edition have all contributed to making Skyrim a polished experience for both Bethesda veterans and newcomers to The Elder Scrolls. However, there is an argument to be made that the quirks of the Creation Kit as an engine greatly add to Skyrim's charm and appeal. View the full article

Douglas Goodall, a quest designer for Morrowind, is once again working on the classic Bethesda game through the power of mods. While it's been more than 20 years since Goodall actually worked at Bethesda, the game designer has been back at work on Morrowind, having worked on a mod for the game that features an all new storyline (thanks, GamesRadar). Goodall has been working on the mod under the pseudonym AFFA, where he's been serving as a writer for it. The mod in question is titled Red Wisdom - An Ashlandr Prophecy, and sees you embarking "on a mystical journey as you unravel the ancient prophecy of Red Wisdom. Join forces with wide-eyed Nirani to unlock the hidden truths that lie within the sacred burial sites of the tribes. Explore a new angle to Ashlander lore, confront wild beasts and Daedric interlopers, and piece together the puzzle which may shape the fate of Morrowind." Some of the features of the mod listed include the ability to "explore a brand new grotto used by the Ahemmusa tribe to 'bury' their *****" and "visit the exterior burial sites of the Erabenimsun and Zainab tribes." You'll also be able to collect "four elemental-themed Ashlander trinkets" all which have custom art, as well as experience "new Ashlander lore through the trials of a young Wise Woman apprentice." It sounds like a pretty impressive mod overall, and the fact it has an original Morrowind designer attached to it certainly adds something special to it too. Read more View the full article

Xbox will soon let you pre-download game updates before their scheduled release so you can make your life just that little bit easier. Look, in this day and age, we all know game updates are a necessary thing, but that doesn't make them any less annoying. I'm not gonna do that whole thing of "remember when you could just pop a game in and it would just be ready to play, no installing, no downloading" but I do miss those days. However, I do appreciate when my life is made easier when it comes to those annoying fiddly bits. For example, Microsoft has announced that you'll soon be able to pre-download updates for games before they're meant to be out, a feature that'll surely be welcome for fans of online games in particular. The feature is actually already available to Xbox Insider members, with the Xbox Update Preview released on the Alpha ring as of a few days ago. "Games that enable support for update pre-download will allow updates to be downloaded days before they are scheduled to release, so you can jump in and start playing right when the update goes live," reads a description for the feature. To be clear, that means this won't be the case for every game, so don't get **** at me when the main title in your rotation doesn't work with this feature. Read more View the full article
