Sure, finding items is kinda what the game is about, but farming for them isn't my cup of tea in a SP game. One reason I wouldn't turn on veteran is to avoid the item hunting.

I own the latest DLC but haven't played it yet, perhaps Normal will be harder in the higher level areas there? I never tried Veteran and probably won't. As you can understand from the above I haven't even read up so much on the game mechanics, played it fairly blindly and just learning what is needed and what isn't from my own experience. It kept me on my toes, I could die, but if I played my cards right I very rarely did. My experience on these two playthroughs, which are my only ones, was that normal in GD was one of the most balanced game play I ever encountered in a game.

The summons does all the work and my lazy guy is just standing there and throws a few healing spells etc. 60? My second char was a necro/occultist pure summoner and that run was very easy. That guy was a bit of a glasscannon but I finished the normal incl. My first guy was an occultist/shaman that ended up after respecs to be mostly pure shaman. I never specifically hunt for items nor for 'monster infrequents', the latter I even never bothered to read what it is. And I'm a very, very casual player in GD. Keeping a few spare jewelry with certain resists, ie vs the chaos or ethereal damage, when you are in such areas (though I've forgot the exact name of those resistances, the red and the greenish ones equivalent to the two main antagonist forces) worked for me. Grim Dawn, more than anything, took the resistance necessity of Nightmare and Hell Diablo 2 and cranked it up to 11. The challenge areas are brutal, the 4 or 5 rogue-like ones where you only get one shot at them even more so. I only want it hard enough that I have to concentrate and I can't just fall asleep and left-click through everything while still winning. A lot of people enjoy needing to find the perfect build and having a constant adrenaline rush from the danger of higher difficulty levels, but I like to relax while I play. Nowadays I just stick with normal level the first time through with a character. If I have a character die more than once or twice, I always consider it a failed character and I want to start all over. I also found the special challenge areas to be too hard for my tastes, even on normal. The only time I tried veteran difficulty, I managed to get all the way there without dying, but I started having to kite extensively and died a few times in the expansion when I got stuck in a corner. I find normal difficulty to still be pretty hard starting with the Ashes of Malmouth expansion. You're gonna want to have an actual build you are following. It's not THAT bad difficulty-wise on veteran, but you can't just plot your skills and devotions wherever you feel like it. Normal mode is just sightseeing as far as I'm concerned. That being said, I find it necessary to stay engaged. The only problem is you level too fast if you are exploring all the maps. Veteran is designed to provide challenge to the first run-through that is only really there on the two higher difficulties. I mean, nearly ALL ARPGs like this are too easy on normal mode. Can someone who played the game more share their opinions about that mode? Should I turn it on? One thing I'm thinking about is enabling Veteran mode, but I'm not sure if it'll make the game too hard later on (I'm finding things very easy currently). Investing points in the Quill constellation because it seems really cool. Levelled up Panetti's Replicating Missiles all the way upto 16 and I'm shredding things in blinks, and using those level 1 skeletal summons as meat shields (I'm really surprised by how tough they are even without upgrading them). So I started with an Arcanist/Necromancer and am in Wightmire now. This is probably the best Diablo-esque game I've played! (Second in the list for me being Van Helsing.) I started playing this game again with the 1.1.7.0 patch, and I love the new monster infrequents that they have added.
