Stalker 2's 'Stories Untold' update releases on December 16th, adding eight new quests involving mysterious radio signals, a new hub in the Burnt Forest, and a new suppressed rifle, enhancing gameplay with new locations, characters, and choices.
A player of Baldur's Gate 3 highly recommends the Githyanki Creche questline for its "amazing" loot opportunities, including items such as the Holy Lance Helm and the Necklace of Elemental Augmentation. Other players also confirm the quest's good loot, with mentions of solid axe and mace weapons, as well as the Soulbreaker Greatsword.
In Baldur's Gate 3, players must rescue Orin's Victim as part of the Netherstones questline. There are two options: killing Enver Gortash or finding the Bhaalist Murder Tribunal. Each path has its own challenges, but both lead to a confrontation with Orin. Players must defeat Ghislev and place the Amulet of Bhaal to reach the Temple of Bhaal, where they will face Orin in a difficult battle. After defeating her, players can save Orin's victim and gain varying allies for the final showdown against the Elder Brain.
A controversial questline in World of Warcraft, called A Missing Soul, has been removed from the game's Public Test Realm after fans expressed their concerns. The quest involved preserving the timeline, which included a traumatic event in the game's lore where a character named Alexstrasza was forcibly impregnated by the Dragonmaw Clan. Fans were upset at how the game handled the subject matter and Blizzard has said it is looking to adjust or remove quests after community feedback. The removal of the questline comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding Activision Blizzard's workplace culture.
Players of Diablo 4 have reported a bug with the Holy Chalice item, which is linked to a questline involving Sister Octavia in Kyovashad. The item either constantly appears at the gate of Kyovashad or constantly pops out of the player's inventory, which can prevent them from completing certain quests. The cause of the bug is unknown, but some players have suggested clearing other quests around Kyovashad or teleporting back to the area as potential fixes. Otherwise, players will have to wait for Blizzard to patch the bug.
