Cool things:
- When I bought the full version on Steam today, it continued the save game from the demo I was playing, which is great since I actually put a lot of time into the demo.
- No glitches or crashes yet.
- Only $20? Ridiculous game for the price TBH.
- Loot stats. Some gear has like 15 lines of effects/enchantments. How beastly.
- Noob-friendly. This is basically the first non-FPS/non-gun computer game I've played since Diablo 1, and I'm having a blast - I don't feel lost or confused at all.
Some of my screenies:

Excellent modding tool: link
Torchleech:
- It gives you a constantly updating list of mods available online
- It installs them for you so you don't have to mess with putting files in directories
- Installing and uninstalling mods only takes a second and no more than one button
- It warns you of incompatibilities between mods you install

Nothing whatsoever. Yeah, about the low requirements, in the video options page there is even a "Netbook" setting (which I'm guessing optimizing the game as much as possible). The closest thing this game has to multiplayer is your ability to share items among your different characters.

Hmmm... I was going to post something about Torchlight then you stole it.

Playing this game makes me wanna install D2 and go on Baal runs. It really needs multi to be what D2 was. The dungeons are ok, not enough variation. Graphics are actually very nice for only being a small DL.

This game is amazing. The demo is 2 hours long, more than enough time to evaluate the game, truly awesome idea in my opinion. Buying now. It reminds me of Diablo with WoW style graphics. It's kind of like Diablo 2.5, here is the review I read before downloading the demo.

Afro, did you really just ask if getting an item destroyed to recover the gem destroys the item?

It does have a necro class.....I have one and it is awesome. The design is weak.

Indeed. It doesn't have the same number you could raise in D2, but they are more powerful. You have some curses too.

People have already started to mod in new skins and whole classes, so if you really wanted to you, you could make any class. You just have to code it first.
