Rivian R1S owners, rejoice. Rivian has heard your pleas for second-row captain's chairs. For years, Rivian owners have lamented the absence of captain's chairs in the R1S, noting that the three-row SUV would be much improved with standalone seats instead of a bench in the second row.

Unlike the well-loved Three Houses, a strategy game that tasked you with pledging allegiance to a specific faction and seeing their story all the way to the end, the new Fortune's Weave lets you swap between four heroes and their compatriots so you can tackle multiple storylines at once. With Three Houses, I only ever played one path and never went back to experience the others. I hoped that the new game's stru
