Steam is offering the Titan Quest Gold Edition (Titan Quest + Immortal Throne expansion) for a bargain $9.99 this weekend. Take a look.

Everyone needs to buy this game.  It's one of my favorites and $10 is a steal!  I thought $20 was a good deal...but wow.  I have well over 100 hours into TQ and I've only ever used one character!

I'm going to download the demo, se if the game is for me.

I suppose i better buy and download this or MB will never forgive me. If its good enough for Dave Snider then its good enough for me too.

Good catch -may as well add ANOTHER game to my steam account

Oh my God.  They need to fix my Steam account...NOW.  I would definitely pick this up, but unfortunately, my Steam account's game aren't showing up at all.  Do you guys think it'll still work if I purchase it now?

I'm usually not a fan of buying digital copies of games...but I may have to do it this time based on all the MB love, not to mention the fact that I have really been ridiculously lazy at picking up a physical copy of the game.

Any idea why? you should probably Call them about that buddy :("

try to log in on https://store.steampowered.com/login/ and your games should be on a list there, and you can buy the game without using the steam client. i think its your steam installation that is the problem and not your account."

I'm definitely not bumping this because I love TQ and want as many people to get in on this deal as possible...

I bought it last night - I expect it'll come out to $14 or whatever the exchange rate is at the moment. Played an hour or so of Titan Quest itself, figuring the expansion would finish downloading in the background, but I guess Steam decided to pause it so I'll have to wait half an hour after work today. D'oh.

Seems fun enough for the price, and my laptop runs it beautifully at 1920x1200.

Anyone have any suggestions on starting character classes? I went warfare with my first chick, but it doesn't seem quite as interesting as I expected, and the set of skills isn't as broad as the Barbarian in Diablo 2.

Try closing Steam, renaming your ClientRegistry.blob file [to something like Backup_ClientRegistry.blob] in ../Program Files/Steam/ and restarting Steam. It will force Steam to rebuild it and fixes a lot of problems that can happen with Steam. If that works, you can just delete the renamed backup file.

I bought the game, probably end up playing with MB and Hamz."

Holy crap - is this game hard or do I just suck? I'm level 9 now, went Warfare/Defense and I've put most of my points into dual-wield and the various innate abilities (mostly dodging and faster attack speed) and the huge cyclops Polyphemus keeps fucking me up. The healing potions I buy can't heal me as fast as he can hurt me and I have no abilities that allow for anything other than running straight in swinging my axes all over the place. Either I'm rushing through the game faster than I should be and not leveling up properly, or Warfare/Defense just sucks ass.

He reminds me of the worm/insect boss for Act 2 in Diablo when playing as the Barbarian, which was also ridiculously hard due to you being forced to square off him in melee combat (except Polyphemus gains all his health back when you warp away or die).

Good game otherwise, though. I might start over and respec.

I'll get the demo, and see if it's a good game. I'll probably end up buying it though.

I bought titan quest ages ago for £2 in the bargain bin, but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

Awesome, I'll have to check out those skills when I get home. I think I've been following them for the most part - things like weapon training, dodge attack and ignore pain were some of my first picks, although I didn't touch onslaught as the description didn't make it sound overly useful.

I also haven't put anything in defense yet as I've only had a couple of levels since getting my second class. I think that's part of my problem with Polyphemus - I'm just too low a level to solo him.

Still no luck with creating a Steam account here...Steam hates me.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention TheBeast.
Iv always wanted to try this game out, it looks absolutely amazing!
Gonna try it out tomorow, hope to see you guys online :)

Especially you MB and HamZ, your punk asses are mine! >:D

I bought TQ when it first came out at normal PC price, was worth every penny and then sum. It's unfortunate what happend to Iron Lore, I really wanted another exspansion pack.

Also cant remember what combo it is i think its Dream/Defence, but when done right it's next to impossible to die.

This game is absolutely awesome. Anyone who doesn't take advantage of this deal is a... is a... well, a not very smart person!

On a side note, here is some shameless pimping for a couple of pages I've spent all together too much time editing...

If you aren't sure what Titan Quest and Immortal Throne are all about here are links to their pages so that you don't have to go through all that effort of clicking and typing to find them on your own. *geez, Do I have to do everything for you people!? =P*

Yeah...Onslaught should be the first thing you invest points into.  Max it out before touching anything else.  Also - don't be afraid to hit and run, especially against bosses.  If you find yourself taking too much damage, simply run away until you can heal up and get back into the fight.  Most bosses won't be able to keep up with you anyway - and sometimes you can run away from them enough where they go back to their home position, but their health doesn't go back to full. "
