Happy to see Meta booted from the industry, but I’m a bit concerned about Google no longer indexing news articles here…

Yup, just get SE. Mods need to be updated to work with the Anniversary Edition, and a lot of authors haven’t done that yet. You’ll need to downgrade SE, but there’s an easy tool to do just that.

If you wanted to buy Special Edition for Steam, GMG (key seller with great reputation) has it on sale for roughly US$9.

I’d recommend the Steam version. But don’t bother with AE; Special Edition has better mod support.

Great idea, but there’s too many empty and unused communities cluttering the front page.

Ooo, I’ll download it now and make a new character. I’d missed out on Return to Drangleic for DS2. 😔
