It’s been five years since Todd Howard revealed the startling news that yes, Bethesda is going to make The Elder Scrolls 6, and it will be years yet before it actually arrives.

The Black Diamond is one of the first rare materials you’ll encounter in Return to Moria, needing it as you do to repair the Mapstone in the first camp in order to unlock fast travel. While you can randomly get this material by fighting Orcs and Goblins during horde events—the first of which occurs when…
Whether it is because we work from home or spend long hours in intense gaming sessions (or a little of both) we can spend a lot of time sitting at desks. It’s only natural then to want your desk set up to be attractive and inviting without sacrificing form and function. We put so much…
