Fallout 3: Van Buren companions would have changed the game world

Fallout fans got a fascinating look at what might have been thanks to a recent presentation from Van Buren designer Chris Avellone. Before Fallout went to live with Bethesda, it was Interplay's baby. The developer had big plans for a third entry, which it codenamed Van Buren, before the company fell on hard times. Speaking at the NYU Game Center's Practice 2015 conference, as reported by Polygon, Avellone gave some insight into the cancelled project - which still fascinates long-time series fans today.

Guild Wars 2 server transfer fee to discourage casual changes

Although ArenaNet is happy to let you try out another server in Guild Wars 2, those who want to change loyalties permanently will have to cough up a fee.

Here's a bunch of Star Wars Fallout 4 mods for you

Fallout 4 is good, but it could be better. It could be Star Wars. Fallout 4 is a modder's dream, and for some reason a lot of them dream about Star Wars.

Anyway, if you want some Fallout 4 mods to make your experience both Starry and Warlike, there's a ton of them on NexusMods.

Red XIII is playable in Final Fantasy 7 Remake using a save editor

Thanks to a save editor, you can now play as Final Fantasy 7 Remake character Red XIII for a short period of time. The save editor was created by Xeeynamo, and while it is limited, it will allow you to manage your Final Fantasy 7 Remake inventory, materia, and character levels, according to SP1st, and allow Red XIII to be fully playable for a limited time. As the site notes, you can only use the character for a short time due to the party resetting after major cutscenes.

Detroit: Become Human, Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain come to Steam next month

Skyrim Dragonborn DLC spells, story, enemies and locations leaked - rumour

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's next DLC is called Dragonborn and will let you ride dragons and go to Morrowind.

According to leaks posted to Reddit and collated by The Outhousers, the Dragonborn quest is available even if the main story hasn't been completed.

Townscaper is the latest surprise addition to Xbox Game Pass

Townscaper, a chill and very aesthetically-pleasing city-builder from Oskar Stalberg (whom you may know as the developer behind Bad North) is now available to play on Xbox Game Pass. Townscaper has long been something of a social media darling; if you mooch about games Twitter like me, you'll have seen it crop up often as other indie devs share little snippets of the towns and villages they've made. Buildings appear with a very satisfying 'pop' and the whole thing is more like a toybox experience than a traditional game.
