Which is the 'best' version of the game to get?

Version differences

What are the differences between each edition of the game?

Demo/free trial

Name the header either Demo, Free trial, or name of the edition, e.g. ===Starter Edition===
If a demo exists, break down the limitations.
Do progress/achievements carry over to the main game?

Patches

Include If

There is a benefit in using an older patch. For example, Diablo II's latest patch is 1.13, but the high-res mod only supports 1.12.
There is a community or fan patch which is superior to the latest developer patch.
Patch install instructions

Utilities

Very important launchers, reputable save game editors, etc.

Modifications

List mods that are very important and would be detrimental if played without the mod, e.g. DSFix, TSLRCM. Balance mods and aesthetic mods can also be included if they are stable, mature and popular.
