WingedKagouti: As I understand it, they require an online connection for the single player part of the main game since you can still earn the same type of rewards as in the multiplayer portion (in the Steam version at least). GvA was specifically made for those who wanted to play single player offline, but that was apparently not enough for the "No-DRM Ever" crowd.
I don't really risk to derail more the thread (Well, given there's not going to be news...) but I think that for many customers here, the point is having the game DRM-Free, and that means being able to play it without having to "call home" for anything.
Multiplayer is something that usually gets a soft pass (No one cares about LAN capabilities anymore), but when you get into the single player being also behind a connection requirement, things get (rightfully) ugly.
IMHO, these cases are completely justified and they shouldn't have been published here in the first place.
Going back to the Enhanced Absent Version, if Bethesda can't or wont work a functional offline version at least for the single player, we should get someone here giving us a heads up and, as I said before, some kind of compensation, because by wanting to support this store, we've not only ended up with the short side of the stick, but also got ghosted by GoG.
And don't get me wrong, I know that no one will give a flying duck about me not purchasing anything from Bethesda again, or re-thinking my stance regarding purchasing games only in GoG, but Donald Duck me if this situation is starting to become annoyingly common for this shop.
