If you're an avid Skyrim blacksmith, highly anticipated sword-making game Bladesong finally has a launch date

Sometimes I find myself contemplating what my life would have looked like in another era.

Having recently replayed Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption, however, I've found myself falling down a medieval hole, contemplating what the world would have looked like as your average, working citizen. Enter Bladesong, a simulation game that tasks you with creating unique, fantastical swords that look absolutely beautiful. Man, life could have been so different.
