![]() You run around completing quests and slaying monsters to obtain loot, experience, and level up your character. Just like other action RPG’s, Torchlight II is played from the isometric perspective. The story is clearly just a backdrop for the gameplay which, thankfully, is addictive and fun from beginning to end. With that said, the voice work is nothing special and it seems that only the story quests contain voice acted dialogue. The cut scenes, themselves, are okay but I do kind of wish there was more of them because it’s very tempting to skip the dialogue boxes when interacting with NPCs. The story plays out through acts and in between each act is normally an animated cut scene. ![]() Both games include a character from the original that become the antagonist. Actually, the plot is very similar to Diablo II’s plot. I knew The Alchemist was the bad guy and that’s about it. I’m going to be honest, I had to look up a plot summary because the story just isn’t interesting. The Alchemist then destroys the town of Torchlight and plans to use Ordrak’s power to disrupt the balance between the world’s six elements. Apparently, The Alchemist, who was playable character in the first game, has become corrupted by the Ember Blight coming from the Heart of Ordrak who was the original game’s antagonist. The story takes place years after the events of the original Torchlight. I know development of the original Torchlight was led by some of the guys who were behind the original Diablo and Diablo II and in many ways, the evolution of Torchlight to Torchlight II kind of mirrors Diablo’s evolution to Diablo II. I played the Steam version of the game and downloaded the Steam Workshop version of the SynergiesMOD but you can also download the mod from Moddb. This review will also cover the SynergiesMOD which is best described as a complete overhaul that includes re-balanced gameplay and tons of new content. And unlike the original game, this never made it to console. Developed and published by Runic Games, Torchlight II was released for PC in September, 2012. After that, I explored more games in the genre and so far I’ve only beaten the original Diablo and Diablo III. Something about it just got me hooked and I plowed through it in about two days. Torchlight was the first action RPG I actually completed. At the time, I had played Diablo and Diablo II but never beat either. A small number of extra items from other mods may cause a wardrobe malfunction.Before the original Torchlight, I had a passing interest in the action RPG genre.The Demonologist and Spiritdancer classes both take a long time to load.Nethermage now uses the Darkrune Alchemist wardrobe by Theo89.Axe of sacrifice is sold at the general merchant (no more demonic merchant).Made new icons for the demonic gloves and boots.Edited icons for various classes to make them cleaner.Made icons for Stonebrother, Shaman, Paladin, Ice Queen and Sorceress.This is a simple mod that merges a whole bunch of classes together, hopefully without introducing new issues.Ĭhanges made on top of all these classes: Integrated the pets and tier3 addons into the actual mod.Fixed various skills that were broken in their original mods.Removed the Stealthassassin to avoid the problem with using the champions mod.Fixed some of the FOmar particles from confilcting with originals.Added 10 new animations for the gender mod, there are still some missing though.Please stop submitting reports on this issue. Admin Update: Since so many of you ignored the disclaimer above and installed via HotSpot anyway, I must inform you that you now have to manually have to delete the mod. We suggest you install the individual class manually and allow HotSpot to merge them, to help with compatibility problems. Admin Update: This mod is not compatible with HotSpot.
