Another Titan Quest fan here...

G 'evening, everyone! Been lurking around the forums for a pretty long time now, watching the progress of the game, so I figured I might as well “officially” join in.

Like most of you I’m a fan of Action-RPGs in general, and Titan Quest in particular. It might very well be my favourite game on PC overall, and there’s hardly any other game I played as much as TQ without growing tired of it.

I like what I’ve seen of Grim Dawn so far, as well. The new setting/theme seems fun to me, and if the gameplay and quality is going to be anything like TQ, then I think we have ourselves a winner here.

I really enjoy the music too - Been listening to the whole set of tracks several times now, while working on the computer. Of course, I imagine it will be far more effective as part of the final product.

Anyhow, to add some more actual content to this post - Here are five of my favourite/ least favourite aspects of Titan Quest.

What I liked:

[i]-> The dual-mastery system, with its many combinations; perhaps the single biggest motivation to complete the game more than once.

-> The varied and wonderfully designed environments and monsters.

-> Tons of fun and well-designed loot.

-> The over-the-top ragdoll-physics!

-> The fact that they copied many great elements from the Diablo series - but made sure not to copy most of its bad aspects.[/i]

What I disliked:

[i]-> The player characters were rather generic, and there was little that could be done to change their appearance ( aside from equipment ).

-> For a game based on Greek Mythology, it was a shame that the Olympians made little to no appearance.

-> Not enough storage space for loot! At least it was much better than Diablo II, but I still ended up creating several “mule” characters, because I hate having to sell uniques/ sets or otherwise rare items.

-> The lack of blood/ hit effects. This actually isn’t something that bothered me much, personally, but I can see how some blood FX and an overall darker style might have attracted more players, in particular the Diablo crowd.

-> … also, the “Tower of Judgement”.[/i]

Well, that’s it from me - Feel free to add your own thoughts on TQ.

Glad to see that you signed up.

And I agree, fantastic game TQ/IT. Just started a Nature toon in Underlord after a nice long break and just loving those greek monster camps, for the 500th time…Since I never played nature before, I can combine it with most anything and feel I have a totally unique play-through. But actually, tempted to go Spirit and be a pet-hound.

Anyway, welcome to the forums. I think we all hope that GD will be as outstanding as TQ on so many levels.
