Best Of 2023: Baldur's Gate 3's Best Set Piece Reaches Into Its Dungeon-Delving Roots

A lot of airtime and screen-space has been spent talking about just how big Baldur's Gate 3 is. And it's massive, even growing bigger consistently as the game gets an array of foundation-altering patches. However, Baldur's Gate 3 best sings in its relentless commitment to careful combat and dungeon design. Rosemyrn Monastery is RPG level design at its most straightforward and its most dazzling.

In its overall structure, Rosemyrn sharply inverts the typical dungeon: Above is the dungeon, below the town.

Delving deeper into the schematics of the electronics themselves, Samsung highlights a radio antenna in the rear portion of the case and an audio device or display on the opposing section. That seems to indicate that the case would feature built-in wireless charging of some sort or a signal booster, while the front flap houses a bigger speaker than what is found in the handset itself or a display. Background:  Samsung is no stranger to protective cas...
