ORIGINAL POST: Dragon Age: Inquisition arrives on November 18, 2014, and it’s pretty freaking great. We’re holding off on our review until the week of release, but there’s critical praise reverberating all across the Internet already.

EA Access subscribers are diving in even now for some early time with the game, so we figured we’d fire up the old Twitch channel this afternoon for some good, old-fashioned streaming action. The plan right now is to start the stream with a completely fresh game, so you can see how the intro plays out and sets up Dragon Age’s grand Inquisition.

Time permitting, we’re also happy to jump into a later save file for anyone that wants a peek at the game’s wider world. We’ll leave the story quests for you to discover yourself, and we’ll start the stream with a completely fresh character to give the spoiler-averse a chance to check things out before the deeper dive begins.

Just make sure to sound off in the Twitch chat to let us know what you want. Dragon Age: Inquisition is a huge game, and there’s no way we’re going to be able to give you a complete overview. Tune in on the Digital Trends Twitch feed at 3pm ET/12pm PT today to see the dragons age. This is one Inquisition you can definitely expect.

All Baobab Tree locations in Tales of Kenzera

Zau fights a dragon in Tales of Kenzera: Zau.

While it wasn't marketed as being a particularly punishing game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is by no means easy. You will have plenty of environmental challenges that can instantly sap your life, and the enemies you face -- especially the bosses -- are no slouches. When you first begin, it will only take a couple of bad hits to send Zau to the land of the dead himself. Alongside the Trinkets you can unlock through hidden challenges around the map, there are also Baobab Trees where Zau can stop to reflect on his journey thus far, have a short dialogue with Kalunga, and get a small addition to his health bar. Like everything in the game, these trees aren't prohibitively hidden, but you could easily pass one by and have no idea where it was when trying to backtrack. These are all the Baobab Tree locations so you can max out your health bar.
All Baobab Tree locations
There are six Baobab Trees to find in Tales of Kenzera: Zau and each adds a small segment of health to your total. When you collect them all, you will roughly double your HP bar. Here are each of their locations in the rough order you should naturally find them in. Most can be picked up on your first time through that area.

This one is very hard to miss as it is directly on your critical path. If you do, you can fast travel to the nearby campfire to grab it.

All Fallout games, ranked

Who would've thought the post-apocalypse could be such a fun time? The Fallout franchise has taken the idea of a Mad Max-like future and not only made it into a wildly popular game franchise but also a hit TV series. The core franchise has been around since the late '90s, and yet we've had only a handful of mainline entries in the series since it was revived by Bethesda with Fallout 3. With Starfield in the rearview mirror and the next Elder Scrolls title currently being the dev team's focus, it could be close to another decade before we can set foot in the wasteland ourselves once again. What better time, then, to look back at the franchise and rank all the games from best to worst?

NYT Strands: answers for Wednesday, April 24

Strands is a brand new daily puzzle from the New York Times. A trickier take on the classic word search, you'll need a keen eye to solve this puzzle.

Like Wordle, Connections, and the Mini Crossword, Strands can be a bit difficult to solve some days. There's no shame in needing a little help from time to time. If you're stuck and need to know the answers to today's Strands puzzle, check out the solved puzzle below.
How to play Strands
You start every Strands puzzle with the goal of finding the "theme words" hidden in the grid of letters. Manipulate letters by dragging or tapping to craft words; double-tap the final letter to confirm. If you find the correct word, the letters will be highlighted blue and will no longer be selectable.
