Unfortunately, fans probably shouldn’t grow too attached to their custom character, with a new IGN article reminding fans that saves from the early-access section of the game are likely to be wiped when the full-version releases. This is quite common for early-access projects seen as such vast changes are implemented, but in terms of a lengthy RPG like Baldur’s Gate 3, it could be devastating to those who’ve spent a long time investing in their first playthrough of the game....
Developer Larion Studios initially had set a loose date of some time in 2022 as when Baldur’s Gate 3 would exit its early access phase and be available for all. Yet, despite Baldur’s Gate 3 being one of the most anticipated RPGs of 2022, it seems that Larion need more time to give the game extra quality. “Our internal goal post for release is a quality bar rather than a date," said Larion Studios founder Swen Vincke in a recent press event....

The Italy striker has flourished in France, scoring 15 goals in 23 league games to fire Nice into the Champions League qualifiers thanks to a third-place finish. Allowed to leave Liverpool on a free in August, Balotelli has also been shown three red cards, but Favre has impressively got the best from the infamously temperamental striker. And, with Liverpool yet to be certain of their place in next season’s Champions League heading into the final day of the Premier League season, Favre believes his man has got the better end of the deal....
Balotelli has played for a number of clubs in his career so far, with varying degrees of success, although his time in the Premier League – especially at Liverpool – is largely remembered as a failure.
