Your mod tool looks like a full-fledged level editor.

MS: It's even more than a level editor.

TB: It's an everything editor.

MS: You can adjust the stats globally and the balance of the game globally or item. You can do particle systems. You can do scripting for quests for events. You can do level layout.

TB: You can build your own skills. You can rebalance all the existing skills. You can change their names, their icons, their particles, and their animations. If you wanted to raise their level cap, it's about five seconds. Pretty much everything we used to build the game is available. You can add new sets of items. You can add new uniques. You can rebalance all the existing ones. It's pretty full featured. It's actually pretty fun to play with.

MS: This is the actual tool that we're using to make the game. We're not dumbing it down for the consumer or anything. This is the real deal what we use every day to make the game.

Out tomorrow, $20. There's even a dog pet that will take your loot back to town and sell it for you.

$20??.... definetely worth a shot.

Pity about no Multiplayer... Co-op would've been good.

which sucks..but whatever...

hopefully they got the GOOD people behind games such as "Diablo, Diablo II, Mythos, and Fate".. :lol:

lack of online kind of sucks though...if it had it the game would seem to me to be a steal..

if it takes off youll see modders make high res texture pack for this id say...which would be cool

Don't get me wrong - Titan Quest is awesome. But it's a few years old now and I don't have the enthusiasm for it anymore.

Is the setting the same as WoW, WAR, etc? I would be all over a good online rpg in a more conventional setting.

No it's more Diablo/Titan Quest. It's great though, my dog has a silence spell now. It's great when he's not selling loot for me.
