Diablo IV, for me. I love the Diablo series and just a bit ago, I sank 2 hours down to get my necromancer character up and set in Diablo II Resurrection. I have Diablo III and its expansion too, but they’re online only and I almost can’t be bothered to go through that. I’ve beaten it a long time ago.

And I really do want to get Diablo IV, but they’ve made that online-only as well. Like, I know I’m always online and everything but I do like to have that fallback where if I am without internet or I can’t afford internet for a time, I can play or watch things to bide the time over. I can’t do that with online-only games because it’s like being gated away from something you bought.

So everytime I look at Diablo IV, I just get a little depressed at times. Blizzard should do what D2R did, have an online character and have an offline character.

    My problem with the game was precisely that right out of the gate I need to take a lot of notes, as there’s no way I’m remembering said lore — what with my habit of occasionally taking a break for weeks if not months. Someone informed me that if I plug the game into Steam, I can employ its built-in notetaking feature instead of poking at my phone, but idk yet how usable that is.
