Let's see how it plays... more tonight...

Well, other then the stuttering, which is not forgivable seeing the rig i have. And the fact that sometimes ALT won't show items on the ground. I like it... but hey TQ... you have never played diablo2?

OMG***BBQSAUCE! Er,...wel you can pick it up cheap if you haven't and if you decide to try it out, i'll go online with you.. d2 is horrible hackable online but for the most part is a blast. Let me know if your interested and i'll install that bad boy.

the first official patch for Titan Quest will be released on July 5th via the main menu under the "Check for Updates" button...some of the issues fixed include:

-Improved auto-placement of inventory items

-Fixed NPC dialogue windows closing when NPC moves to avoid other characters

-Added character back-up functionality which will help prevent corrupted characters

-Improved multiplayer stability and performance

Nope. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, when Diablo was current I was a first-person perspective chauvinist and wouldn't consider any game that didn't play from the FP POV.
It wasn't until years later that I began to play other point of view games, so I missed Diablo.
Though Mrs. TQ and my nephew Thomas were into it in a big way.
Speaking of the little women, she's in the other room right now toasting critters with her Mage and Lich King familiar.

Yup, Spirit and Warfare was my primary

Name: Davina Star/Spellbreaker Level 10

I just got the extra inventory space, I could have used that long ago. So far I've been using a combo of the war horn and death aura(I think that's the name). My strength is 108 so I'm laying a beating on them now.

Cool combination.
I just went to Level 19 before I had to give Mrs. TQ a turn.
I'm on my last Greece Quest then it's on to Egypt.
My character's name is Jason (of Argos)/Conqueror.

Amazing game... The lag is really bad sometimes and so bad I cannot even pickup items (in a scene where a town is on fire).

I do hate the save system which is basically non-existent and makes you do a lot of parts (including the bosses) over and over again. Hopefully I can get past that and keep playing... However, last night I got killed over and over again... made me loose a bit of interest for that part.

I've been playing this continuesly yesterday.... I am now level 7 or 8 or something....

Graphically speaking this is one of the most impressive gameas I have seen. If you look at the texture quality and foremost the character animation quality... Supurb!!!! I can only hope NWN 2 will beat it.....

This is one kick ### game.

I am a storm.... "something" although since I picked nature as a second skill base I am now called a druid for whatever reason although I built my main skills in the storm category.

Hey Subby...just watch that health meter and map a button on your mouse to "health". I've got button 7 on my MX510 hotwired to health so that when I hear the low health gong I punch it.
As much fun as Titan Quest is (and it is!) NWN II is going to be another raised bar in RPG's. It will have a true 3D perspective and the awesome combined power of Obsidian and Bioware behind it.

Mrs. TQ has a very interesting character, a Mage with Storm as her First Mastery and Spirit as her Second Mastery. I watch her destroy hundreds last night as she and her Level 15 Liche King waded through monsters in Egypt. No one could stand against her. Being a big fan of "leech life" spells she uses her Spirit attributes far more than her Storm powers.
Remnd me never to tick her off....

I have witnessed some lag from time to time and on one or two occasions it gets as bad as that. When it does I stop playing and reboot. That clears it up.

Yep, that can be a hassle. At first I thought it was a bug, but it's inherent in the game's design. It can be a pain to have to locate a Rebirth Fountain to use as a save game and exit point especially when you have two German Short-Haired Pointers tossing a squeaky ball repeatedly at your feet in a not-so-subtle hint that they need some exercise.

What was I going to do next...? Oh, right...make some more tea and go play Titan Quest!

Gotcha on mapping a health potion to a hotkey. I forgot to do that...

Why don't you and Mrs. TQ go head to head, one on one. I think you can play a lan game too. You would need a pretty powerfull 2nd rig I know but that sounds like a real matchup!!

LOL... you sir are an addict!!!

Good to see you are having so much fun with it. Sounds like a great way for you to get your mind of off the more serious things. Hope things are going well for you in that department!

I already know the outcome: I would die horribly and in great pain.
