I've seen games that come with their own editors, but their usually either too complicated to learn how to use, or too limited in functionality.

Torhlight's editor seems to be both easy to learn and use, and absolutely rich in features. It's actually the editor the devs use!

Here's a tutorial that one of the devs put together to give you an idea of how good a game editor can be.

The drag and drop scripting feature takes the code out of coding, yet still allows you to do all the stuff a programmer is able to do. Definitely cool!

Anyone else looking forward to creating their own mods for Torchlight? I've already got a bunch of ideas I'm dying to try out, hehe.

I don't usually take advantage of editors for RPG (er.. or ARPG). I usually only do for RTS or FPS's. Anyways, if it's user-friendly enough and I'm feeling creative, I'll probably make some stories/scenarios. It's nice to have either way and nice to know that it's not just a last minute slap-on feature.

Nice - the editors and mods are what makes PC gaming special.

Where will you be able to buy this game? I just searched amazon and gamestop.com and can't find it listed anywhere. Are they selling it through Steam or something?

Its digital only, I think they are hoping/trying to have a retail release sometime after the digital release though.

It will be download only at first. You can get it straight from http://www.torchlightgame.com

They are planning a retail disc release to be on shelves by early next year, as well.

Yup, game is $20. I believe the editor is a separate download, but it will be free.

Yeah, there will be other places like Steam you can get it from. They haven't said which ones yet, though.

it will be on the torchlight website first, not sure when it will come to steam etc. They said they want to get it as many places as possible. They get much bigger cut on their own website obviously (it's also coming to perfect world website too if I recall) I did hear its going to be a few hundred mb demo client, and you buy the cd key to unlock the full game.

I am so hyped for this game. I liked Diablo 2 and can't wait for this ARPG. My last ARPG fix was Titan Quest, so there's alot of thirst that needs quenching.

Ever played Gothic 3? The story is more or less the same. Thanks to a publisher wanting to cash-in the game was pushed out in basically Early-beta which caused a buggy mess. Not to mention that the guy heading flagship didn't really know what he was doing while the Runic games guys are just devs from the project who do know what they are doing.

Yes, but don't look at it that way. Look at it from the aspect that it's from the makers of Diablo, Diablo 2, Fate, and Mythos.

I know absolutely next to zero about this game. Suffice to say, all I know is what I saw from a bunch of screenshots and some bits of info. That being said, i saw that it is an MMO. So will there be a monthly fee? How much would that be if there was? It's good to hear that it's going to be $20, but again, if there's an online fee then it wouldn't be worth my time as I do not have much time to devote myself to a game. That online fee would just go to waste.

Its not an MMO, there isn't even any online features I don't think. They are turning it into an MMO though, but that will be something else.
