It's a single-player game and you can disable the internet connectivity from an in-game menu or just unplug your ethernet if you don't know how to use a menu.
And most mods don't invalidate your pawn anyway.
And there's no real benefit to keeping your pawn valid, either.
So there's no reason not to just use whatever mods you want... and the game doesn't actually need mods, other than to transmogrify your equipment cosmetically.

Denuvo hate is NOT about "I want to cheat." Denuvo hate is NOT about "just pay for a better rig so you can run it, poorfag!"
Denuvo hate IS about the fact that it is so fucking demanding, it lowers the lifespan of your hardware. For instance: making absolute fuckloads of calls and writes to the hard drive, which is otherwise completely unnecessary for, as you note, a singleplayer game.

I tried to replay this game with a serious mystic knight arisen and old sorcerer man pawn but I quickly abandoned the play-through and restarted with thicc elven chics because of how many revealing armor sets there are in this game. Like holy shit there’s no way to play dragon’s dogma without realizing this game was designed for gooning.

It’s a matter of principle. I don’t want that crap on my PC, and I’m not buying the game unless they remove it.
I dunno what they’re doing, the conventional wisdom was that companies keep it on for a year to capture the peri-launch hype and early sales, then eventually take it off after the first year or so to avoid the expensive Denuvo contract fees. But it’s been more than a year, and I can tell the game has fell short of sales expectations due to how desperately they price it. I’ve also heard people speculate that they won’t remove it until after it gets a DDDA style expansion, but has the game even sold well enough to justify an expansion? What the fuck are these retards doing. I was hyped before the game came out and now I barely care.

Kek yeah right.
There isn't a reason to remove it, just to get one 10 dollar sale (I promise I buy it, honest!) and more piracy.

What a bummer it is that the 4chins userbase has degenerated to the point that the principled argument of “I refuse to put malware on my PC in order to play a vidya” is met with scorn. Every time I’ve brought this up in a thread I get some zoomer NEET going hurr you just want to pirate it durr, without fail. I think the last time I pirated a game was Doom 3. When you grow up, your time is far more precious. I can’t imagine playing a game I didn’t consider worth buying.

I may want to get all the achievements for DD:DA.
This includes doing the speedrun. Does finishing the speedrun also count towards finishing the game a second timeand seeing yourself as the Seneschal? Does anyone know?
>>
>>3935704
I don't remember, but iirc doing a speedrun is absurdly easy because it can be your second run and you can just use ferrystones and previously set portcrystals so it's not a bit time sink either way. I haven't thought about any of this shit in a really long time though

Is there a way to know if the game uses Denovo? Because DD2 runs like literally any other game on my machine and I haven't noticed any kind of performance impact or interference at all. Never seen any reference to Denovo while playing or installing the game. Like. It may as well not even exist, or maybe the Steam version just doesn't involve it anyway?

The fact that 4chan threads about DD2 fizzle out because not even chantards can come up with any legitimate complaints about it ... is probably the highest praise possible in gaming right now.
DD2 is a fucking masterpiece. It's just not really an RPG. It's an adventure game. For that reason, it shouldn't be discussed on this board.
>>
>>3937055
I can make a lot of complaints about DD2. They mostly amount to just not being as fun as the first one and not doing anything new that was interesting enough though. That isn't necessarily a declaration of it being overall bad, but I just can't being myself to care about it nearly as much as the first game.
The only ways I think it's better aren't particularly quantifiable either, since it's basically just that big monster fights can more easily blow up into giant clusterfucks by having another one wander in, or that the exploration is more fun.
I don't think it's a bad game, but I certainly wouldn't call it a masterpiece.

I love the first game but one of the reasons I haven't bought the second, despite being excited for it, due to what I've heard about how they treated the NPC's compared to the first game.
In the first pretty much every random npc's dialogue would change throughout the game and you'd really get a sense of them as a character. Made the world feel real and lived in.
>>
>>3937143
I don't know how the two compare in that respect, but nothing really grabbed my attention at least. The way the world is staged there isn't some point where you can really appreciate one being chosen as your "beloved" though.
The only things that really hurt in my opinion is how little effort they put into adding vocations and it sort of running like shit in towns for a while. Maybe it still does idk, but I thought people talked about it getting slightly better over time with patches. Luckily I had a good enough PC that it was always tolerable. Oh, and everything just feeling a lot more sluggish than the first game I guess.
