Rogue Trader is coming to an end with miracles, madness and ‘tears of blood’

Stella is a character in the upcoming expansion of Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, described as a delicate young woman with formidable psychic abilities. She is revered by the Ecclesiarchy as a creation of the God Emperor but is an unsanctioned psyker, which complicates her character due to the volatile nature of her powers. In battle, she can unleash psychic flares that cause area damage. However, she faces dangers such as veil degradation and warp instability, leading to a cycle of peril and madness. The expansion, titled Processional of the Damned, will introduce a new storyline and companion, integrating into the existing narrative. Stella's attributes include crying tears of blood, possessing unstable powers, being potentially heretical, and being described as a living weapon. Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy is confirmed to be "coming soon," and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is also anticipated.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds (PC) Review

RuneScape: Dragonwilds introduces players to the new continent of Ashenfall, where they face the Dragon Queen Kuldra amidst a significant dragon threat. The game features a new biome called the Scorned Wilderness and a raid-style dungeon, requiring 40 to 60 hours of gameplay to complete its story content. It includes a sophisticated crafting system that allows for extensive customization of the game world. The combat system has been modernized, incorporating various weapon types and a nuanced parrying system, while the magic system offers unique runes that alter spell effects. Players experience skill progression through the use of tools or weapons, but the early game lacks healing potions, making it challenging. The game encourages exploration with a robust crafting system and in-game mounts, as well as the ability to create travel routes using loadstone teleporter panels. It also features dungeons with platforming elements and diverse enemy encounters. RuneScape: Dragonwilds supports full crossplay for consoles and has a roadmap for future updates.

Over 10 years later, Gabe Newell’s advice to devs still holds up

Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve, spoke at the LBJ School of Public Affairs in 2013 about the relationship between hacking and player engagement in gaming. He highlighted an incident from Ultima Online where the character Lord British was killed during his speech, which led developers to roll back the game instead of embracing the event. Newell argued that recognizing the significance of player-driven narratives could enhance the game's lore and experience, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and creativity in game design. He noted that stories arising from player interactions are often more compelling than those created by developers.
