Torchlight II

To my shame, I've had this game for ages and I haven't even started it yet. I blame Borderlands 2, but it's nice to know I've got a game to play when I'm done with that!
 
I'm struggling to get too involved with the story in this at present, only being able to play an hour a week or so doesn't help. I think I'm halfway through Act2.

Do you keep inventory items/gold with NG+?

Also has anyone else had issues with achievements? Granted they're not essential, but I've had quite a few not get updated.
 
I didn't get involved with the story at all. Couldnt understand it, its just throw away and forgettable, just an excuse to go there and do that.

Yes you keep your gear with ng+ otherwise what would be the point.
 
So I started a bit of multiplayer on this over the internet with 4 friends recently, now we all have good computers and connections however at times when loading a new area it sometimes takes an extremely long time we had to wait yesterday for about 5 minutes just for a load, other times though it can be nearly instant anyone else had this issue?
 
Grabbed this in the autumn steam sale...went on holiday though so only had a few hours on it, absolutly loving it at the minute, only played solo upto now though so need to get some mulitplayer games in...feel free to add me Gaz18241 if anyone fancies some low level run abouts :D
 
Torchlight 2, 10 mod limitation bypass/fix!

This is a copy & paste of a post i did on the steam community pages found here and I thought I would share it with you guys.

This method is not recommended but it works. Im not responsible for any loss of data or issues that you may get from using this method.

This a look at this:

Proof that the 10 mod limitation can easily be bypassed and it only took me 10-15 minutes to figure out how, which means that if i can do it so can you!

1)Download all the mods you want to use from the steam workshop and run the game once to launch the modmanager and updating all the mods to its latest and greatest.

2)Start sorting out the your mod list 10 mods at a time starting with those most important and in the correct load order and save the lists on your desktop like List1, list2, list3 and so on where list 1 is represents those mods that are highest on the load priority list. When done close the modmanager without starting the game.

3a)Open all the lists you have saved in wordpad or similar program(one that keeps the formatting), also open modlauncher.sch located "C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My Games\runic games\torchlight 2". Inside modlauncher.sch it will look something like this:

[MODS]
<INTEGER64>MODGUID:137438746
<INTEGER64>MODGUID:136196864
<INTEGER64>MODGUID:137336889
<INTEGER64>MODGUID:136192903
[/mods]

3b) Keep the [Mods] and [/mods] but delete whats inbetween and copy & paste the data from your list1, list2 and list3 where list1 should be placed at the top followed by list2 and then list3. Save and close the document. You can open the modmanager again by launching the game from steam to see if they are all on the list and you should be able to fix priorities as well but you cant launch the game due to the limit.

4)Launching the game. Once you have your list in order and are happy with it close the modmanager if its open and go to the "\Steam\SteamApps\common\Torchlight II" folder. Rename(DO NOT DELETE) modlauncher.exe to modlauncher_bak.exe(if you cant see the .exe it means you dont have extensions view on, just rename it to modlauncher_bak). Make a Copy of Torchlight2.exe and rename the copy Modlauncher.exe(or just modlauncher if you cant see extensions).

5)Last Step. Create a shortcut to torchlight2.exe on your desktop. Right click it and choose properties. Add "MODSCHEME=MODLAUNCHER.SCH" without quotations to the target line after whats there. Should look something like this "C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Torchlight II\Torchlight2.exe" MODSCHEME=MODLAUNCHER.SCH . Press apply and OK. Now use that shortcut when you want to play TL2 without mod limitations.

Enjoy.

Grabbed myself a copy in the sale. Utter fantastic game especially coop. Enjoying it immensely and finding it a lot better than Diablo 3 even though there is so much similar, even the soundtrack sounds the same.

The pets are cool too, got myself a hawk. Like the whole pet selling/buying feature as it saves the tedious going back to town just to sell junk.

Dunno why I waited so long to get it but it was a bargain.
 
Tried going back to this the other day. Loved it first time around, now I'm finding it a bit repetitive, just spamming right and left click and watching pretty effects on the screen. Shame really.

I found it that way on the first playthrough sadly...

The skill system is terrible. They put breakpoints on them at 5 level intervals where skills get a boost of some sort, then they restrict you from actually levelling them up so you're forced to put them into a few different skills. Which generally means you run around with several passives and 1 or 2 active skills. There is just no depth to the combat at all.
 
Woah, last post 20th Jul 2013.

So to be bumping but I've had this on my steam list for ages and only just decided to install.

Is it not worth playing then? :p
