Honestly, this is one of my all-time favorite computer games ... ever

just started playing it.  feels like a mix between diablo and WoW so far.  Although i didnt like WoW, im enjoying this game so far.

Hmmm, I am gonna download the demo on steam. I saw it on there before and thought "meh", but since someone has said they like it I will give the demo a shot.

Let us know how it goes.  I downloaded the demo first aswell.  Its a game that is at least gonna stop me from replaying diablo 2 for about the 8th time.

Seriously this game deserves more attention. It's probably the best thing you can play on a pc while waiting for Diablo 3 in that category.

Im replaying it right now and for 20$ on steam for the game and it's expansion its a great deal.

You liked Diablo 2? You want diablo 3 and can't have it? Play that. Awesome game indeed, Iron Lore made a great product.

I decided to buy it and i'm not disappointed :)

It's really addictive and the online play looks awesome, I need to get my character to a higher level first before joining people.

let us know when you are going online.  i havent gone online yet. still ploughing through the early part of the game.  lvl 11 so far and ive got to say im totally hooked atm.

note: i also like the change of scenery from diablo (as well as the more vibrant colours!  haha)

I was in the middle of playing it on the hardest difficulty when I took a break (Nature/Hunting) ...  although if you are wondering Iron Lore disbanded so there will not be another game, ever : (

i just found the editor in the files:  think its time for me to try some modding.  There may not be another game but has anyone made or played any good mods of this game?

There's a major class mod that adds something like eight new classes to the game (actually it replaces them, so if you have the mod running you can't use the old classes with the new ones). Let me go find it... Here it is. It's called simply enough the Masteries Mod. Never played it myself so i have no idea how good it is, though I can easily imagine that there are likely significant balancing issues.

As for the thread topic. I'm going to commit sacrilege and say that I think this game is better than, wait for it, Diablo II. *hunkers down as storm of indignant outrage blows over* I love Diablo but the game feels very dated now. I know it's the game that every one compares every Action RPG to, but I think the community as a whole has developed this wired romanticised perception of the game informed more by nostolgia than objective comparison. There have been some significant advancement's in the genre over the past decade, many of which are present in TQ. I'll also add that I think that TQ has the best class system out there in ANY action RPG, period (which may explain why I'm so sceptical of the mod I mentioned above).

sounds good.  once i complete the game through ill look into it. 

also, ill agree with you on the diablo II front.  I was playing Diablo II again for about the fourth time through with a new class and was definately enjoying the nostalgia of the game.  however since picking up TQ i havent gone back to it.  Im really enjoying the contrasting theme this game offers compared to Diablo.

In terms of the class system, i cant decide which i prefer.  there are more actual active abilities in diablo, yet the actual structure of the TQ skill trees seems to make the game more interesting.  I guess it just comes down to personal opinion on that front.

Aww... Why do i have to have a crap computer? This game sems to be epic =(
