comradegarry: Grim Dawn (Normal - Veteran Difficulty) Well the DLC's went on sale during this summer sale so I decided to buy them and give the game another chance; I'm so glad I did!
I
really love this game, it might even be my favorite game at this point and take Diablo 2's #1 spot.
Everything about this game is spot on and well crafted, the story has been very good and interesting so far, the skills feel nice and synergies well with the dual class system(playing as a Druid), the way the game just tells you all of your stats in the menus is just a godsend compare to other action rpgs, the story setting reminds me of a {DARK} Fallout with a hit of the witcher mixed in with certain dialogs, the loot system is very refined, rewarding and comes with it's own loot filter to boot.
The only problems I have had with the game so far is the performance will tank every now and then(using a cpu core switching program has been helping though) and I had a couple of crashes/freezes when using the portal system but outside of these two issues I haven't had ANY problems.
At this point nothing else (for me) is worth playing compared to Grim Dawn, I am thankful I held out for a sale and I didn't blow all my money on Diablo 4. I am still hoping that the
Fate series goes on sale at some point soon but even then I don't think I want/can stop playing this game at the moment.
I love Grim Dawn. But it has a problem, the elite difficulty level doesn´t add anything to the game. In fact, in my opinion, it detracts from the game since you will level up maybe to level 100 and that will take a bit of interest off the Ultimate difficulty level.
In the Forgotten Gods main area, once you reach Ultimate level, you can buy a rune that allows your future characters to skip Elite or even Normal too. I think that to jump from Veteran to Ultimate is the way to go.
Keep enjoying the game. :)
