I’ve been meaning to make this awhile. I was just kind of wondering what people both liked and didn’t like as much in Grim Dawn. Feel free to add to it if you’d like.
Favorite class?
Sentinel. It’s just fun.
I had wanted to purchase Grim Dawn earlier but didn’t jump into it until AoM’s launch, which was also my birthday (October 11th), so it seemed like it was meant to be. My first character was a Death Knight and it was… rough. It was probably a combination of having no idea of what I was doing and stubbornly refusing to use anything but 2H weapons. I must have died well over a hundred times. I still have a soft spot for my 2H Death Knight but she just can’t handle much.
Least favorite class?
Purifier. Too boring.
Favorite dungeon?
Port Valbury. It seemed like a lot of effort was put into designing it and the Paige Rehnaul story legitimately made me sad. It really sold me on how depraved the world of Grim Dawn was and maxed out my hatred of the aetherials. Those swirling aether balls that chase you around helped. It’s just very well done start to finish.
Least favorite dungeon?
I’m not really sure. Probably Tomb of the Heretic. It just seems weird and out of place. It’s also not much of a tomb. I guess I was just expecting something different.
Favorite zone?
Necropolis. I like smashing everything.
Least favorite zone?
Ugdenbog. I like Wightmire but Ugdenbog just feels like it goes on and on forever. Maybe it just needs more landmarks.
Favorite faction?
Order of Death’s Vigil or Rovers. They both have cool lore.
Least favorite faction?
Cronley’s Gang. It’s better since the unique music was added around Cronley’s Hideout but it still takes forever to farm, even with a warrant.
Favorite town?
Fort Ikon or Devil’s Crossing.
Least favorite town?
Barrowholm. Place is a dump.
Favorite boss?
Korvaak. I was worried I would be disappointed with him due to the ridiculously long build-up he had (basically starting in Homestead) but thankfully, that did not happen.
Least favorite boss?
Grava’thul (hands down), with Kubacabra coming in second. It’s pretty easy to reach nemesis with the beast and cthonian factions and they always spawn in the worst possible places for me. It’s usually when I’m just trying to go somewhere quick, I’m always unprepared and it inevitably turns into this huge, overly drawn out ordeal.
Could easily put this to a Celestial like Callagadra or Crate. There’s a few…slip ups(?) in the piece that don’t quite sound right around 1:12/1:26 (when the horns are ascending the musical scale, some of the notes feel a little too drawn out) but other than that this piece is mindblowing.
But blackwater cocktail leveling is amazing!
Of course it’s a video game so it’s not a bad design, I just don’t like it
And Korvaak fatties
