Looks like a nice ARPG, but it seems to integrate an "always online" bullshit requirement, can someone who actually has it confirm or rectify ?

Thanks !

Funny thing: on your screenshot, it looks like the Play Offline button is greyed out. But it's just a visual thing and you can totally click on it, right ?

[–] marco@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Actually both buttons take you to the same character selection screen, just with either the Online or Offline character list preselected ;)

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, I'm pretty sure its just because if you hit enter on that screen, it assumes and selects the Play Online button.

Play Online is actually a relatively newish feature as far as I understand. Multiplayer only came around earlier this year, before then your save was only offline.

Grim Dawn has one major issue IMO: it overuses passives and semi-passive abilities. When I play an action RPG, I want to actively push different buttons to do different things instead of optimizing my primary attack to do a bit of everything.

How about Titan Quest?

[–] marco@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I just tried LE for the first time and there are a lot of similarities to GD. Cannot talk to the passives yet, obviously :)

Just cause it's a Diablo type game I enjoy that does not need online :)
