Picked up the game about a week ago from a friend, been playing with them and another most of the time, soloing when not. Aside from the crashes and bugs, been enjoying it. 
Never played TQ, but I haved played Dialbo 1-3 and both Torchlights.
My potato of a 'puter can’t handle the game well, so I’ve been finding a summoner build to be very refreshing for my choppy experience. (Though I do like Blitzing into mobs and watching them lag-fly.)
Looking forward to the game’s progress.
