Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General After all the Starforce Complaints, HL2 is worse..

If you thought HL2's online Authentication was VICIOUS, go check out the NWN Premium Mods ordeal.

At least w/ HL2, if you Authenicate it, you can play SP (single player) offline. Still, that stinks -- if I buy a hard copy (CD/DVD), I shouldn't need to authenicate it. That's CRAP.

For NWN Premium Mods that are SP even, you have to have a LIVE COnnection -- so when you load a new game or load a saved game, it does an "ONline Authenication" check.
