Grim Dawn Grim Misadventures #18

It’s time to sit down and read through an eighteenth installment to Zantai’s “Grim Misadventures” feature over at Crate Entertainment’s official Grim Dawn website. A closer look at new village assets such as the contents of a general store, the usual mainstays of a tavern, and road marks are all up for grabs, as well as a boss reveal and news of a Humble Store partnership:

We have some new peeks into our environments with the introduction to some of our latest village assets. Collections like these allow us to breathe more life into the environment, make a village seem more believable. First up is the general store. A remnant from better days, this shop still carries many of the products that were once part of the daily lives of the denizens of Lower Crossing. Had everything not spoiled a long time ago, this would have been a valuable asset for Devil’s Crossing.

Next up, we have the tavern, conveniently located along the docks of Lower Crossing. A once popular location amongst the locals pre-Grim Dawn, it frequently served as the first stop for merchants and fishermen. Now it stands as a stark reminder of just how far gone the world of Cairn is. Try not to make too much of a mess. The barkeep does not appreciate bar fights.

Though they may no longer have valuable rations in their stocks, adventurers would be wise to scavenge these unique locations as they tend to hold many breakables that could contain rare treasures.

The last piece of content we would like to share today is a bit of tech that came online recently. You may have been wondering how Grim Dawn will guide you along your journey. The short answer is: not very much. Grim Dawn will not be holding your hand and lighting a yellow brick path for you to follow. It will provide you with contextual assistance though. NPCs will give directions to the best of their knowledge of the area. You may discover clues to the locations of dark secrets while out exploring the ruins of civilization. Or you may look upon road signs to point you towards major destinations.
