Fence in Tarkov – An Old, Wasted Gimmick
(Intro) Fence has always been an… interesting trader in Tarkov, to say the least. A mysterious fellow who for the longest time, was kind of just around as a trader of random items. For years, he had no quests, no real purpose, and no progression. Essentially, he acted as a sort of beta test for the flea market, if you will. Because any items sold to Fence could be purchased by well… anyone. As long as they were on his menu when that item was sold it would pop up in his inventory, they could get that item at an increased price. But as time has gone on, other new mechanics that were more flushed out were introduced, making his gimmick feel both old and somewhat useless. They have tried to give him purpose with new quests as well as linking him to your scav karma, but ultimately, he still feels underutilized to an extent. So today, let’s talk about Fence; his role early on, what he evolved into, how he could be potentially spruced up and what he could theoretically look like when 1.0 drops.

How Assassin’s Creed Shadows Handles Dual Protagonists – Switching Between Yasuke and Naoe
Assassin’s Creed Shadows breaks new ground for the franchise by introducing two fully distinct protagonists—Yasuke, the historical African samurai, and Naoe, a fictional female shinobi trained in stealth. This dual-character design isn’t just a gimmick. It’s a fundamental shift in how the player interacts with the open world, missions, and gameplay systems. Ubisoft has experimented with multiple protagonists in the past, but never with this level of separation between their identities, skills, and playstyles.
