Titan Quest II | Demo Gameplay Dev Commentary

Please don't destroy it, take your time, bring the unique and awesome game Titan Quest franchise fans waited for years and deserves. Keep the good work, there are some good stuff here already, make it LEGENDARY.

[@Zarturael]

@@erdfkrt541 a lot of people will play both games anyway, not just exclusively one, especially people who are mostly into ARPGs Titan Quest has quite a large following of old fans, and when you add potential new people coming too, I don't think they have to worry about competing because either way, they'll have people supporting the game and they can grow it with time

[@GrigorenkoAntony]

But from what I see, it feels less like TQ spirit. Like, I get really sick when a staff drops from a crab The fact that mobs used their own gear and it dropped from them, not just random loot, was such a cool feature of TQ...

It has never been an "issue" - you just failed to analyse the first gameplay trailer ... However one big concern from fanbase is the lack of drop of items wielded by monster.

@@Alban-p9i well, I did see the gameplay, and the physics did seem a bit too tame; also so a bunch of people agreeing with that, among which C4G too. I can see they are a bit more noticeble now however, so I don't think you are all that correct. Now, I would say its simply very well done and spot on, so I am quite happy.

[@teck7777]

As an old fan of Titan Quest, there are 3 core things that you need to bring into Titan Quest 2: - Keep original Titan Quest atmosphere, don't copy too much from D4, it's not good( I already see D4 skill icons, why can't you draw TQ1 colorful ones?) - Buildcrafting and unique items hunting is what motivated most of old TQ fans to keep playing, don't screw it - Make a variable, challenging, and deep endgame content, something that was lacking in original TQ

[@WrsWBurPee]

I have the same thoughts, but this demo also reminds me of the mechanics of Path of Exile. The HUD, especially the Health/Mana level is copied from Diablo, so why not remain as it was in TQ originally but slightly modified?

[@StephanieHallberg]

@@WrsWBurPee im pretty sure.. mods will be available for TQ2! and can suite all needs.Also, right now, this could be the hack n slash that everyone will want to get. It might be one to rule them all. specially when diablo 4 was such a dissapointment.

[@EEEEEE1337]

Atmosphere: The devs have clearly already nailed down the style and concept, so changing things now would take way too much time Buildcrafting + Uniques: Absolutely, yes! Content: To balance all of this, you really need a solid plan from the get-go; It takes a lot of playtesting and has to be fun. (Watch Valve's HL1 documentary) It’s not easy.. this stuff just takes serious time and talent! 🤓 At 15:20, you can really see how much the devs care and that they’re listening to the community. I also love the way Florian responds. So, until release, let’s be on our best behavior and see what they’ve been cooking up for us!

[@richardlaed1582]

agree, TQ 1 map is more vibrant than diablo games

[@TouchthisiProduction]

"Make a variable, challenging, and deep endgame content, something that was lacking in original TQ" This is tougher than you think. cause it tends to become very generic content (looking at D4 and D3). i would say have some group content for this specificly.

[@uygarates3317]

The most appealing feature of TQ is producing artifacts by collecting charms and relics and collecting set items, especially jumping with excitement when you see a set item you are looking for on an enemy. :))😱😍

Yesss. Seeing special items on an enemy felt amazing! They need to bring it back

This game makes me feel nostalgic without even having played it. Clever sound design, feels genuine and heartwarming. Love the style and pace of the game. Me and my friends have played TQ and are eager to team up to battle the mythlogical creatures once again.

[@BrecMadak]

Clever sound design? Sound design is weak in this. I hope they will look for more ways to improve it. Hands down, the most underrated aspects of game dev.

[@Benbenbenbenbenbenbenbenben]

@@BrecMadak I think it's clever because it's not like an anime fighting scene or a D4/PoE grinding fest where you just want to fly through enemies. This is slow(er) paced, focussed on scenery, story and approach. Of course, I haven't played it and we have no clue what the endgame is like. But, having excessive bangs, gore and whistles would do this game no justice. Niether if you are minmaxing your gear. You are farming for numbers, not gameplay because you like the game so much.

[@immortalis1001]

Please, please bring back the skills trees from TQI/Grim Dawn. There has always been such a satisfying experience to slowly reach the top of the tree (or right in case of GD). The visual progress was just so addictive. This current TQII system feels like something straight out of Diablo III, a very dull and boring approach akin to what a mobile game would be. I hope that it is not too late to review this and perhaps bring it back to the beloved classic skill trees. Upvote if you agree people, let's increase visibility of this issue.

The monsters wearing their Monster infrequents is one of the things I wish you bring back I heard you say you are considering it but I hope you really consider it and it's not empty words, no other RPG does that as far as I know and it really made monsters interesting in TQ1

[@Raumschutz]

Agree, very memorable and exciting feature! It needs to come back

[@abraxis59]

I have been playing TQ1 since it first came out. To this day it is still one of my favorite games of all time and the graphics hold up shockingly well. Overall, I like how you are building the skill system. My only hope/request is that we get to see the whole tree right from the start so we can know what we are shooting for in character development.

[@christophersanders7877]

Looks very good, and I'm loving what I am hearing. For TQ diehards this is what I picked up from the commentary (please add if I missed something): - EA will not have monster charms/crafting material, but it is planned for the full release (hopefully relics come back as well). - EA will not have it but they are still going for enemies to visually carry the loot they drop on death, like in TQ1 (great news). - EA by itself will be at least 12hrs of content, so the full game may end up being pretty meaty if the added acts follow suit (sounds on par with how long TQ1 took to beat especially after act 4-6 were added). - EA will be launching with "at least 3 masteries" (I'm hoping its 4 so the combo potential in EA will be high and I hope the classes are fully finished with no missing/place holder skills). - Ragdoll is tied more to the type of weapon you have and your skills but it will still be a focus like in TQ1. - Its seems all items can drop at any level so no more items locked to low levels like in TQ1. This is potentially a good thing and a bad thing, its good because all unique/legendary items will be viable at any level, but it could be bad because this could lead to high drop rates for very powerful items early on (please have the best loot drops similar to OG TQ and not dropping like candy lol)? - No talk about set items, which were a huge thing in OG TQ (please bring back). - No talk about classic difficulty unlocks like OG TQ (PLEASE bring this back). - No talk of max level or where the EA will cap the player (probably will talk about more closer to release). - It seems the modifiers are unique for each of the skills, so build variation will be out of this world (excellent). - Dungeons will have unguided secrets for those with a keen eye (cool). - No skill/passive is needed to 2 hand weapons like OG TQ (and Grim dawn). - The attribute system is much more build defining them before and the focus seems to be on the armor type you want ( heavy, light, medium), weapon type, and damage type (so even more build variation is possible!) There is many many more aspects I probably missed but these are what popped out at me personally. If the devs read this my main question/take away would be: Is classic difficulties planned to make a return like in TQ1, Grim Dawn, Diablo 2,....etc (for example, killing Surtur in TQ on normal would unlocking epic which adds more bosses, gear,...etc) in the final release? Great commentary overall and I am more confident seeing the devs are definitely listening to players of the OG games, and they seem to have a plan for the final build/release for this game and are not just trowing it in EA with no throught. Keep the communication flowing and I can't wait to hear more and get my hands on it myself!

[@pedroorus8135]

No estoy de acuerdo con traer la modalidades de normal, epico y legendario, es aburrido tener que pasarse 3 veces el juego para lograr obtener los mejores items...

[@christophersanders7877]

@@pedroorus8135 100% disagree. Its boring to beat a campaign one time and replying endless soulless Rifts/maps, or any other modern endgame mode. its also boring getting the best items at level one leaving nothing feeling rare/special, like many modern aRPGs. The best part about the higher difficulties is that they act as NG+ modes that ADD more things each playthrough to keep the player interested and still building their characters, with the final diff being the ultimate challenge to put your build to the test. There is a reason D2 is still so played, TQ1, GD,....etc and each one of those games had the classic difficulty mode. To please both player types they can go the TQ1/GD route where the player has the choice to start a level 50-70 character in the final difficulty (skip the entire game) and those that want to experience the JOURNEY of growing their character from nothing to maxed out, can go through all the difficulties the old fashion way. Enough modern aRPGs have the samey boring endgame, and I would prefer a return to form, of course with new ideas to keep each playthrough a fresh experience (new bosses, new side quests, new gear drops,...etc).

[@pedroorus8135]

My personal opinion Positive points: -The game is aesthetically beautiful, I love the setting and the details, plus there is no single path like in TQ1 but there is more freedom when exploring -The new attribute system looks interesting, but we would have to see to what extent they modify the builds and the importance it has. Negative points: -In terms of playability, the game is still very green, the character moves strangely many times, also the hitboxes of the mobs and the boxes are strange, where the character hits the air. -The interface is a criticism that I read a lot, and it is true that it is very similar to D4, there is a little more work and creativity needed throughout the interface, to offer something different in that section. -THE skill system does not convince me very much, it does not look fun or powerful when applying more points. -The rarity colors in the items are also a highly criticized point and personally I liked the original better. -Much poorer in content than TQ1 or grim dawn, where in those games there was a constellation system, mob fragments to modify items, ARTIFACTS, sanctuaries, dungeons, etc. Conclusion: -I love TQ1, I hope they continue working with love and dedication, and they can't miss the opportunity to offer a better game than its predecessor, since the theme of ancient civilizations has a lot of giant potential and many people in the genre want something different than D4 or poetry. . I hope you listen to the community! sorry for my English and greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 🇦🇷 🇦🇷

[@AHaber007]

Yeah iam missing relics/artifacts/charms so far too. As for the skill system, we really didnt see all to much. The passive system is very good and there seems to be a ton of synergy between classes. I agree with the rarity colors too, the old one is much better. Maybe there is more to come, its still an early build after all.

[@drawnsilhouette]

I will say Grim Dawn is one of my favorite games but I played it back when it first released in Early Access and it didn't have most of the systems you mentioned. Now look how far its come! I'm really hoping that this ends up being great as well in due time.

It's a bit weird stating that Grim Dawn has dungeons, because well... it's a fully released game with years of expansions and patches. All we have seen from TQ2 is a small part of an early game area, so there is no basis to complain about lack of content. Also, we know nothing about the crafting system other than that there will be one, so ARTIFACTS might still be a thing.

[@pedroorus8135]

@@Fresch_K But it is rare that they do not implement it from scratch. There isn't even a space for artifacts in the inventory. It seems that they did not take it into account or they are just about to do it. I just hope I'm wrong and the game shuts me up! 🤣🤣😅😅

[@Mdmok27]

Most of the comments I'm reading, especially those with upvotes, are for real what every Titan Quest fan wants and needs, maybe some options can be implemented and toggled off and on using game settings. I also wanted to share my thoughts and I wanted to ask you guys, if you'll ever read these comments, wouldn't it be great to have merchants/traders be more usefull than they were in the previous chapter, I usually just interacted with them in the early game and later for potions and scrolls only. Also, this is just personal but, I'd like the game to have maybe fewer sets of epic/legendary items at the beginning of the game and lower drop rate, that to me would make the game both more realistic and satisfying.

[@Raumschutz]

Yes making the traders more useful is a good idea. Or have blacksmiths being able to produce some special items, eg armour made of the skin of a legendary boar

[@MarcosNicolasAmoroso]

Dear devs, I love the art style in terms on the world, so all the trees, the rocks, the lighting, everything from the dark caves, and the bright landscapes, although the UI has the same problem that I found with diablo 4, it looks very plastic and much like a watered down mobile game UI. If there is one thing that I would like to see change its the UI. As for the gameplay it looks smooth, all the skills feel punchy and have weight behind them, a few weird moments here and there and I understand that this is a work in progress so its naturally going to be polished more before release. Itemization ans progression seems intriguing, allbeit a little too simple I think if you want players ti stick around for long but well have to see as this is in the first area if the game as im sure. Would love to see a deeper dive. It looks like a very solid foundation, my nostalgia might be getting the best of me but a very good job, i really have all the faith on you guys that you can make an amazing game, but please for the love of all thats holy change that plasticy cartoony mobile UI.

[@albinkeranovic1741]

5:04 Please add some water effects. Walking through water, dead enemies falling into water, water acting to spells and abilities. Environment (not just water) acting to your actions is a great immersion factor for a good ARPG game. Also pointer is too big for my taste, so maybe introduce different pointer sizes and looks, would be a nice touch.

[@wreckfest3728]

Now that POE2 is out, I can safely say that TQ2 is more so my kind of game. This looks more like a chill good time than a job Ragdoll physics, and being offline makes this game sooo much better IMO. Couch Co-op please please please please please. Even if updated later for it. Critiques: Use mocap for better animations. So it doesn't look like a placeholder mobile game animation. Make water fx ripple and trail, and splash more visible, wet foot print that fade when walking out of water. Dead body buoyancy/float and or bob in water. Collision with ragdolls on the ground. These are quality of life improvements that add up to make a great game immersive and replay-ability. POE2 looks good but combat feels so cheap and flat when there is canned animations, doesn't matter how powerful you get, same animations tied to physical and elemental attacks.

There seems to be a lot of aoe/explosion stacking which benefits more from larger packs. Otherwhise its looks very promissing.

[@slimeplort]

I disagree, I like the monster density. Having less but more meaningful mobs is more fun to me, and more in line with old ARPGs. Modern ARPG's do mob spam a bit too much. To be fair, I do like both at times, but I'm very happy with their direction already for this game.

[@AHaber007]

@@slimeplort Iam not talking about mob spam to the degree that poe does for example. Iam not talking about oneshotting the entire screen and beyond.

[@Monochromatic_Spider]

@@AHaber007 I don't know of an ARPG that actually let players have enough inventory space to make manual gathering of all those items work. Now, if it could work like scrolls and runes and whatnot in Last Epoch, where all these things are automatically added to a realm-wide behind-the-scenes storage, then I wouldn't mind at all. All the benefits of having loads of things to collect, none of the downsides. But just thinking about the amount of time and effort I put into sorting and stacking those things in an inventory in TQ1 makes me a little uncomfortable. Actually having to do all that inventory faffing about again, in 2024? It's like having to collect town portal scrolls or not having auto-pickup for gold. Much better if they create a dedicated UI to keep track of them and apply them as desired. Without that, I reckon it leads the gameplay into less action and more inventory management.

[@TheHighborn]

I have 400+ hours in TQ1, and will have even more, expectations are sky high for this game, and for a demo, it looks alright. Animations are pretty basic / common (what i mean is it looks like every other ARPG sadly) but everything else looks up to scratch. edit: i know what's was bothering me. Weapons do cleave (good) but the spear animation looks single target despite it should not. Staff and bow was really good. Some thought's i'll write down as I watch: -Please use the TQ1 loot colouring system. Thank you. -Artifacts are needed. -Personally don't like leap skill, as a concept. This doesn't mean i dislike other movement skills -Warfare better have Onslaught & banner or it's not warfare. Rage seems similar, but still. -The skill modification is actually a nice idea -I'm setting on the fence regarding the voice acting. Just put a toggle in, to be able to disable it. Spoonfeeding me my characters reaction is not just weird. -Not sore why deviate from STR/DEX/INT from TQ1, but it seems in broad streaks it's the same , just renamed. -15:00 that spider mechanic was nice. -Ragdolling should be tied to overkill dmg imho, so you can blow away weaker enemies with any weapon or class. Going back in TQ1 from legendary to normal grece and punting satyrs to the moon is just pure fun. -You should not be able to TP back to your corpse, but the nearest portal / well like in TQ1. One of the better features of TQ1. -Gravestones are nice. -19:00 undo until you leave the screen like in TQ1 would be nice, to experiment. -22:50 if barrier is what i think it is, it's dumb. If it's like rune shield from TQ1, it's nice. -Seeing every stat is nice. Good. -24:45 sounds good. But please bring back charms and stuff. Those were really good. -Can we also have AOE pick of gold? Like pressing A in TQ1? ( Iirc it was A and it picked up gold & potions) -Highlights over chest would be nice. Like in TQ1. -Fire staff being on fire is nice. keep at that -28:00 hope those loading screens are not common at all -28:50 we'll have to see, if that works. I don't have much exp with levelled items in ARPGs, but if an item is epic should be unique and not unique on that level. In the discord others have explained how it works, but i'm sitting on the fence so hard with this, it's starting to hurt. -29:30 so.... the 3 tierd difficulty is gone? Could work, to raise word level so it's by proxy the same thing. Raising to your level, is something i don't like at all. Scaling is NEVER a good idea. It's just lazy game design, and i *hate* it in every game. -30:30 SOME quests here and there should drop attribute points and skill points. -31:30 mobs buffing each other is really nice. -36:35 if terrain blocked the channeled ability of the skelly that'd be AMAZING -hahaha potion sound being the classical one is exactly what i wanted to hear -that "boss" (leader) fight was really nice and looked fun -so a rolling "release" / early access. Sounds good.

B) Add One-Handed Magic Weapon Items : Wands/Scepters/Short Staffs (Like the Caduceus, Hermes staff, More Variety of weapons for Mages and the Ability to Carry a Small Shield). C) Add Off-Hand Magical Items : Two-Handed Magical Lyre 𓏢 /Stone Tablet/Book 📖, (Holding the item in one hand, shooting projectiles from the other, Again More Variety for Mage builds). D) 12 Masteries at end game that are related to Hellenic culture. (12 being a important number in ancient Hellas, the 12 Olympians, the 12 labors of Heracles).

[@СашаВольский-л1к]

I liked what I saw and hope the game would develop well. Several notes: - Since you have 3 secondary attributes that support two damage types each there likely should be according mastery combinations on release or even in early access that support each of them - Warfare and Finesse for Fitness attribute, Storm and Earth for Resolve and Storm and Nature / Finesse for Cunning. - Please also provide decent support for uncommon Mastery combinations or Masteries that use different damage types. Lightning Dash skill in Storm Mastery in Titan Quest 1 is a good example - it is decently usable even with Warfare and martial Masteries that usually utilize other damage types from Cold and Lightning. - Please consider adding weapon sets to the game. Warrior being able to switch between 1H + shield and 2H weapon, Ranger - between Bow and Daggers and Mage - between Staff and melee weapon could significally improve gameplay and builds. - Like other comments wrote - don't forget to include monster charms, relics and maybe even scrolls again. They were things that set Titan Quest apart from many other ARPG games.

Bright and vibrant sounds great, but then why are the colors so washed out? Are they going for realism? I don't get it. This game has huge potential. Please don't screw it! Edit: The dialog boxes also look a bit too modern, and the icons for skills are too flat and dull. I like the caves though.

[@Titan77Sage]

Awesome, so happy to hear that the development is going well. Adding Scythes is a nice touch, especially for hybrids ;)* Can't wait for early access. What is needed in this game are good tooltips -> what is Ailment chance for example, hover over it and have everything explained. This was a bt lacking in TQ1 and you had to do testing for yourself to confirm theories on how damages, resistances and armor etc. work. Good tooltips can do wonders for a gaming experience and learning curve. I also love your new spin on everything about Titan Quest, it seems you guys will pull off a great successor for TQ1. Keep up the good work 🫡

[@AxeMan808]

I need to know if you're going to maintain the standard of higher level/Elite enemies are using that good loot drop you're about to get against you. A skeleton with a purple glowing sword, a wraith with a fire aura ring, a minotaur with a lifesteal axe, etc. Also can I still bounce enemies clean off the map with 10 stacks of onslaught and a crit? EDIT: OK you answer #2 at 15:15 EDIT2: Ooooh! What about breakable items dropping gold/equipment?

Now I need more Titan Quest II demos. I'm hooked!

[@Soulfly415]

You see random animals, like crabs, spiders and other, dropping melee weapons, bows and staves. That will never happen in Titan Quest, where animals don't drop weapons and armors, because animals don't use equipment. Only enemies that wield them will drop them, and they always drop exactly what they use against you. It is obvious from this video that the loot is just random nonsense like in Diablo. It's also disturbing that they've taken away even more of the identity of the original TQ with the color coding system for items, which is also like a Diablo game - rares are yellow instead of green, magic items are blue instead of yellow. Epics have taken the color of the legendary items, which means the actual legendaries will be orange... once again, like in a Diablo game. Even the status bar with the health/mana orbs is a Diablo ripoff. Why? Where is the Titan Quest identity?

[@Raumschutz]

Well said. "drop exactly what they use against you" - Key for the charm of the original game. What we see here is a step back.

[@ElsweyrDiego]

Please devs, make the enemies drop blood splats in the ground when hit, not just blood spraying from them! we need more blood decals!

5. In-Game Name for Money Currency : Drachma and Orichalcum. A) Instead of gold, which we see in every other game, name the currency Drachma (Δραχμές - ΔΡΧ), more immersive with the environment of TQ2. (Fun Fact, Drachma was the oldest consistently used currency in the world until 2002). B) Obtaining Legendary Orichalcum (Ορείχαλκος - ΟΧΛ) in rare occasions, from special Quests, Unique Gifts, Boss fights, Secret Sacred Hidden points in the world of TQ2. Rare Orichalcum would be for special occasions, for example crafting, sacrifice or buying a unique Items etc. (Orichalcum in mythology, a legendary precious metal that was mentioned by Plato in his work Timaeus and Kritias. Orichalcum was mined from Atlantis as a magical blue-green crystal💎). Thriving for more Immersion and Uniqueness.

[@Bloodspeake8]

Yeah, amazing, the really important stuff, that's the priority when u design an arpg, how are you gonna call the currency...

[@EudaimonV]

@Bloodspeake8 that's the only thing you saw?? There is more than that.. thanks for the back uo

[@reddmst]

28:47 wait, so this means if I find a unique item in say act 1 (idk if there's gonna be acts, that's not the point really) and then I find "the same" unique again in act 3, the latter one will be higher level, ergo (I'm assuming) better? I'm not sure how I feel about this tbqh. For one, this makes earlier parts of the game irrelevant for farming, because everything you can find there will be _strictly weaker_ than stuff in later (higher level) parts. Second, this makes unique drops in early game _feel_ less satisfying. Think about it: you find that nice weapon and it fits your build so well, and you know you should be happy about it, but also lowkey wish you found it a little later so that it had better stats. In short, every unique item found early will feel like a weaker, demo version of this item. I can't see how any of this is fun. You should consider at the very least capping this mechanic, i.e. an item X can spawn in locations with minimum "area level" of 20 but the highest it can go is say 30, so that we know which areas _not to_ go for farming (i.e. only look for it in 30+ lvl spots) in order to get the "proper" version of the item. But even this is kinda bad, cause now we've excluded some fraction of the game world from farming. Still better than excluding the majority of the game except the few last areas, but still bad. Please rethink this mechanic.

[@patronautsvirtualworld8155]

If you watch the video carefully you will find out that they address this issue - you will be able to bring earlier areas to your level, good specifically gor farming uniqe items of higher levels. And I think it is much better to have different levels of unique items. It alllows you to use them right away instead of neededing to level up 20 lvls to use them. It is part of the journey to use different weapons and switch along the way. Supports more diversified gameplay and forces you to use and try more items. Keeps the gameplay fresh. But who knows, maybe they will allow to increase the level of weapons by crafting in some way.

[@reddmst]

@@patronautsvirtualworld8155 This "ritual" to up the level of the area doesn't solve the problem #2, with early unique drops being not as satisfying as they could be. Besides, idk, I really liked TQ being different than other arpgs in that it was sorta story driven (as opposed to being mechanics-driven, see D3 or PoE). The idea of "ritual increasing the world level" doesn't really resonate with me. The problem you mention - needing to level up 20 lvls to use a new find - was never present in TQ. I've got 1300+ hours on it (on Steam alone) and found only a handful of items I had to wait to equip (and that was never more than 10 levels). It was just balanced very well. Also I'm not sure if I want to be *forced* (as you put it) to use more items. If uniques are so boring that I don't want to switch, then why not make them interesting instead? Making them artificially weaker (which is what the low-level uniques essentially are) in order to make them last less is a kind of lazy solution IMO.

[@cityxxxhunter2520]

This is my biggest fear as well. This could ruin the whole unique item system in my oppinion. This mechanic should definitely be rethought!

[@patronautsvirtualworld8155]

Great! Keep up the good work. Visual/sound feedback is important. Definitely include the wysiwyg system of loot as in tq 1 as much as possible. Makes it much more rewarding to get a cool item if you need to actually defeat someone who is using it. Maching item drops to enemies is adviced as well - it just makes sense that a bat would not drop an axe. Less loot drops is not a bad thing, on the contrary droppong many items is annoying and people will filter them anyway. This is the fate of most rarity based item systems, low rarities will be ignored. So either make them usefull in some way (like for crafting) or have a different system for loot.

[@patronautsvirtualworld8155]

I forgot to add, that droping gold from every enemy is not necessary either. Sources of gold could be missions, chests or other lootable items, enemies that makes sense to have gold on them (like bandits). Monsters could be a source of gold if there are contracts to collect certain drops from them, or just make it simple and allow selling their drops for gold. A more thoughtful approach here would fit. Again, bats dropping gold does not make much sense.

[@Raumschutz]

Great suggestions. A "What you see is what you get " drop system, at least for humanoid enemies, feels so rewarding!!! And I agree on the monsters. If a huge dragon drops a helmet, it makes sense. He ate an adventurer. But if a boar drops a helmet, makes no sense. A legendary huge boar having a visible spear stuck in it and then dropping that very spear tho -> amazing. There are ways to get creative.

[@widneyburton5559]

I never got to play the first one, but my uncle always gave it high praise. I am eager to check this out. It's high time we get some proper ARPG titles. Was really hoping that D4 would be the next D2, but I'm just happy we have titles like POE2 and TQ2 to look forward to. Someone needs to keep this genre alive.

[@pixelgreen5837]

As people have pointed out indirectly through their pleas to have certain small things added/kept in the game such as monsters wearing the armour they drop... The reason TQ1 is timeless is that it was a labour of love, and no effort or detail was spared. With so many unique item sprites, original skill icons, the hand crafted world, the stylised UI, the rich voice overs and sound design... With the gaming markets saturated with copy paste slop (like D4 *sigh*), please don't make that mistake with this game. Take your time, make something unique, but also something true to the feel of the original.

[@Raumschutz]

Well said

[@TheBboyEnergy]

@THQ so proud of you guys. Take your time don’t rush. Be steady :) good luck friends :)

Well, it finally happened. I used to play TQ for hours on end. Normal game wasn't enough so I used a lot of mods for like doubleing monster packs etc. Best of all I remember the unofficial custom quest "Lilith - The battles of Jalavia" which was bigger than the complete original game. I hope TQ2 can compete with likes of D4 or PoE.

[@SxSxG666]

It's cool to get the physics from the first game improved where you just smashed weak enemies across the screen when you get stronger. I always liked the feeling of growing power in TQ. We should also get access to a crate with unlimited capacity across characters. Players want to collect items and create different layout builds comfortably in game without using secondary programs like in TQ1.

[@pedroorus8135]

I thought I was the only one who finds that 2-handed grip strange. 😂😂

[@Blisterdude123]

I find that quite an odd take, actually. In the inventory you're holding the axe in a more 'neutral' position, so I guess in my mind I don't know that I'd be holding a massive axe blade turned 'toward' my face lmao It's different when the character is running, it's angled in the direction you're running. But holding it still like that is actually more correct, whatever you think. It's easier to take the axe and actually use it to strike something. Mime it with your hands, if it helps, you'll find holding the axe blade the other way actually means your hands are going different corrections and it feels clumsier. The placement wasn't a goof, or an accident.

[@grabeck666]

@@Blisterdude123 He holds the axe the same way when he is running around... As of the rest what you said. It makes no fkin sense. Axe blade towards your face? What? Easier to strike when you need to adjust your blade before you strike is easier? What? I did almost 10 years of battle reconstructions with all kind of weapons, fought in some tournaments too and chopped fkin wood for like 15 years at home. You ALWAYS hold the axe with the blade away from yourself. And if you want to be very picky, then 1st of all you wouldn't hold 2h axe with both of your hands while idle anyway...

Thriving for Uniqueness. B) Environmental Interaction. i) Grass movement, Water Ripples/Splashes and Footprints needs work. ii) Enemy Movement feels a little off, for example Eagles flapping their wings feel slow. Looting corpses animation needs work. C) The Return of TQ1 Music would be a nice touch. D) NPC's Must Feel More Alive : Villages/Cities Not to be so Lifeless. Having the residents interact with their environment, people talking in the Agora, training, gathering olives, wheat🌾, fishing🎣, herding animals, listening to Poems and Stories by Scholar's, praying and children running around etc. (Not having everyone just standing straight, around in a circle not moving looking at nothing, doing nothing, it's Dull, feels Fake).
