I feel like I missed something, or maybe I just have to get farther in… not been much gaming time available the past few days.

It looks like the 3 classes have a lot of room for customization too. The Vanquisher can be a ranged class or a back-stabbing thief-y class…

Have you tried the ‘treasure maps’? I assumed they’d offer random side dungeons, though I haven’t entered one yet.

There is an NPC is town that offers quests that come with their own dungeon portal, have only done one so far so I don’t know how long they get. There are also treasure maps available for sale in some of the shops that open portals to other dungeons,

If it wasn’t for the cheap price, I would have waited to pick it up.

The linearity makes me wonder how long the adventure is, but I don’t mind it so far.

The way you can tell these are ex-Blizzard folks is the feel of combat. There’s a physicality to the combat. When you hit an enemy, you really feel the connection. That’s where Titan Quest wasn’t as good.

Fishing is a simple mini-game of clicking the pull button at just the right time. You can gain fish and even items. I haven’t tried one yet, but feeding the fish to your pet temporarily transform it into some kind of monster, depending on the type of fish. In a few minutes, I got five kinds of fish. One type changes my pet into a spider. Others are creatures I don’t know by name.

I agree. It seems well worth the $20 so far.
