They shouldn't have made always-online option then. I know there's offline mode, but default is online.
What?
Are you referring to a Steam default or the game default?
The game default is single player. You don't have to play online and not will you encounter characters like a MMO.
If you are referring to steam then just switch to offline? That isn't based on the game but the client running your game.
Game is designed to be online by default, even though you don't see it. If you want to play offline you have to go and disable multiplayer. Hence my comment, they shouldn't make something always online if they are not ready for the traffic. If you switch to offline mode some events become unavailable. Although it is praiseworthy that they have enabled it to be played offline.
