Didn't put a lot of time in Dungeon Siege I just played more Diablo 2
instead.
Torchlight is made by the guys who tried to make Mythos. It's like most of
the same guys got back together to make it and a few extras tagged along.
They are going to make a Torchlight MMO but wanted to establish the name of
the series and get a game out quick to have some money before tackling an
MMO. They purposely did it this way because of the mistakes they made during
Mythos
