Custom NPC+ is a mod for Minecraft 1.7.10 that enhances player interaction by adding non-player characters (NPCs) and includes features such as the creation of NPCs with customizable skins and items, a quest creation system, a dialog system, a faction system, and distinct roles for NPCs. The author conducted an error analysis using the PVS-Studio static code analyzer, discovering several issues: 1. Localization issues in GuiMailbox.java related to singular and plural forms for minutes. 2. Integer division in JobHealer.java that caused loss of precision in Y-coordinate calculations. 3. Flawed regular expression in TextContainer.java for replacing line-break characters, leading to handling issues across platforms. 4. A logical error in ScriptDBCPlayer.java where a variable was compared to itself, causing unexpected behavior. 5. A mix-up between "and" and "or" operators in Availability.java that rendered certain exception conditions unreachable. The analysis aimed to improve the quality of the Custom NPC+ mod and highlighted the importance of attention to detail in software development.

The author enjoys a cluttered and eclectic decorating style, inspired by the hobbit design ethos introduced in "Tales of the Shire" in 2024. During a demo at the Summer Game Fest, they focused on rearranging furniture and creating decorative piles in their hobbit home, finding joy in the creative freedom of decoration. The gameplay allowed for a whimsical approach to cooking and decorating, although the cooking mechanics felt somewhat lackluster. The author appreciated the minimal restrictions on moving items and transforming their space, envisioning a chaotic garden that would defy real-world norms. Despite enjoying the decorating aspects, they found the interactions with villagers to be generic and lacking depth compared to other games like Animal Crossing.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has been remastered using Unreal Engine 5, enhancing visuals significantly, particularly in the Imperial City and Bruma. The game requires nearly 120 GB of storage space. Performance issues occur on an NVIDIA 4060, with frame rates dropping in large areas. Combat mechanics have improved, but auto-leveling enemies can be frustrating. The Dark Brotherhood and Mages Guild quests remain engaging, and the new soundtrack by Soul is well-received. However, the game has persistent bugs, including NPCs getting stuck, erratic guard dialogue, and some unplayable quests. The user interface is cumbersome, and the absence of new mechanics makes it feel more like a polished version than a remake. Crashes to the desktop are common, affecting immersion. There is also a desire for a remaster of Morrowind and a lack of Russian localization.

The author is playing Oblivion Remastered as an elven rogue and finds the early-game light armor options uninspiring. At level 9, they are still wearing basic leather armor, which lacks individuality. A modder has created the Daggerdancer armor, which consists of four modular parts and enhances the character's visual appeal. The installation of this mod is simple, requiring only the dragging and dropping of files into the game directory, and it is compatible with both Steam and Game Pass versions.
