For the first time this week, here’s a third part of the news:

If your Oblivion Remastered save files are mysteriously disappearing or not syncing between devices, don't worry: It's not your fault, they're just getting sent to the wrong place

One of my favourite things about owning a Steam Deck is the fact I can get away from the shackles of my desk when playing a game, and pick up where I left off portably. I was looking forward to doing the same with Oblivion Remastered, until disaster struck: My save files were nowhere to be seen.
Turns out I'm not the only one, as my meticulous research (Googling my issue and adding "Reddit" on the end like any good netizen) pointed me to loads of folks facing the same issue. Turns out the way Oblivion handles save files is a little skewiff right now, and Bethesda says it's "investigating" the issue.

As a survival fan, I appreciate what Funcom has done with Dune: Awakening's water and hydration system. I played about 25 hours of the beta over the past couple of weeks, and water is a major concern right out of the gate—not a surprise on the desert planet of Arrakis. And each time you solve the problem of hydration, another wrinkle in the system presents itself.
