er, i know i already posted about this but seriously like, it sounds to me (and from the demo) that they took the ultimate diablo 2 type game, stripped it of the difficulty and then forgot about multiplayer... the things that make diablo 2 great! WHY????? also, I stress a little bit about design decisions for our game because things like missing features, difficulty, etc. can kill a game that is otherwise awesome. besides torchlight + no multiplayer, i also look at oblivion with the scaling mobs and items (totally ruins the opportunity and incentive to explore, because THERE'S NOTHING NEW TO FIND) and im sure 100 others.
