It’s time to travel back to early nineteenth-century occupied Warsaw – specifically to a weird alternative version of our timeline where demonology is an actual thing. An interesting thing about The Thaumaturge is that it’s listed as an RPG. After playing it, a more apt genre description would be an ambitious point-and-click adventure, or maybe an avant-garde walking simulator if I’m going to be mean.

The Kickstarter for the upcoming low-key Baldur’s Gate I-inspired RPG Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy has launched. I backed it for 15 euros, which grants me a digital key for the game when it comes out, but not much else. The Kickstarter is at this moment around 19% complete. To me it looks like they will make it, however, I’m not a Kickstarter expert. I sure as hell hope they do make it because I tested the demo that you can find on their Steam page, and it’s good. It’s very charming and plays superbly into the low-level adventure feel.

The first Dragon’s Dogma was a real gem. I played it first on the Xbox 360, but the performance was abysmal on that console. It ruined the experience back then, which led to me never finishing it. However, the Steam release that came many years later saved it and showed me the true potential of the game. It had a few quirks and faults, but overall, it was a fun and pretty unique experience. Especially the pawn system. So, with Dragon’s Dogma 2 coming out, I couldn’t help but get it on release.

Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy is a new upcoming RPG that takes heavy inspiration from the first (and best) Baldur’s Gate. It’s made by the developers AtomTeam, which in the past has created such titles as ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game and ATOM RPG: Trudograd. So, it’s not some random dudes trying to break in with the fancy idea of RPG throwback – it’s a genuine thing that gives me confidence that it will be a fine product. They recently released a gameplay trailer that you can watch below.

I have not played Baldur’s Gate 3 in a while now, so I have not experienced patch 6 myself. But going by the news, this patch seems to have totally broken the game, and this is not to exaggerate the problems. Some of these issues are actually game-stopping, or will just cause your game to crash outright.
Someone has made a 10-page Google document of all the issues, which can be found here. Here is a small list that caught my eye of some of the complications (text copied from the Google document).
