My brother just picked it up, so I decided to give it another try, since we hardly get to hang out, and a good multiplayer game can bridge that gap. I had this for a little while now from a previous sale, but hadn't played it as I was a bit burnt on ARPG's after Diablo 3. So it's quite difficult.Įdit: I'll note that the Apocalypse mod also increases the level cap and such, so it may be a potentially longer game if you're desirous for that. Apocalypse Veteran and Elite are basically impossible to do solo, and will require coop to succeed in.Īnd you can link the two, if you'd prefer, so you can run Apocalypse Synergies, which is basically extra hard + extra bosses. Apocalyse Normal is about as hard as you'll be able to do solo. Basically, Apocalypse Casual is a bit more difficult than vanilla Elite. If that's still too boring for you, look into the Apocalypse Mod. It also has some 'end-game' content, where you kill big/bad/tough/strong bosses for legendary set-piece loot. To start, Synergies is more difficult than vanilla. There are a number of 'extended difficulty' mods as well. I got into this recently after watching one of My EVE buddies Twitch streams where he was playing co-ops, picked it up and really enjoying it, not modded yet but will do so when we run extreme difficulty co-ops This will tell you when you try to start the game with that character, though, and automatically enable those mods if you restart. If you want to play a vanilla character with mods, just copy the folder for that particular character, and it should work fine.Īdditionally, some mods will 'bind' a character, in that that character cannot be run without that mod enabled. The way it works is that there are 2 save folders: a 'vanilla' folder, and a 'mod' folder. Anyone confirm?įortunately it's easy to exit the game and re-start vanilla. I was tinkering with mods this weekend (for the first time) I seem to remember not being able to load a vanilla game if you have mods enabled.

It's all about finding what you like and going with that. Some are purely GUI-related, while others change the gameplay a lot. After that, there are a lot of mods to consider.

Play vanilla first, at least once through. Anything worthwhile? I'm currently playing an Embermage with a Bulldog named after my real life dog.

With that said, are there any necessary mods or anything I should grab? I saw some user created content on Steam. Plays really well on my PC, and is a ton of fun so far. Played the original to death on Xbox Live Arcade (I don't play much on PC), but I just had to get this. Finally grabbed this game in the Gamefly sale for 5 bucks.
