Like many others, I spent hours playing Diablo2 and was very disapointed when there wasn't going to be a Diablo3.
I had see Titan Quest in stores for a while, but my old computer wasn't fast enough or had enough RAM to play it. Well finally I bought a new computer and got the original Titan Quest and really liked it.
Then I found out there was an expansion. SO I bought it. And I love it. I can spend hours playing and playing. I really like the addition of the Dream Mastery skills. Nothing like entering the dream world, sneaking up on a group of bad guys and smashing them to bits!

No, the game isn't perfect. It does suffer from time to time some slowness and it will freeze up on me for a few seconds. But that's not enough to keep me from playing this game again and again.

Beat Titan Quest First Before Buying

Well, I bought the first Titan Quest when it came out. I only got to Level 9 with my character due to the time it takes to level up, the time it takes to use certain weapons based on ability and skill points, and the game does stutter at times while playing. The stuttering or delay is not bad enough where you can't play, it is just plain annoying. The only thing my machine lacked was a 3GHZ processor, but I am running the minimum system requirement at 2GHZ. I have now read where other players are having the same problem for unknown reasons. But, I buy the expansion hoping to play the new areas, I had to think again quick.

You have to play through the first Titan Quest completely. Your character has to be a level 30 or better to start in the new areas for Immortal Throne. The game actually begins at the end of the first one. Now, it does allow you to play as if you are in the original, but you cannot pick up items when they are dropped and forget going multiplayer. Your character will actually transfer to the expansion with all stats, weapons, etc. Now, I know once I can get through the original game, the expansion will be worth the buy totally. But, for now, there is not much I can do with it except work hard through the orginal first to get to the expansion.

It just floors me that THQ would do this. When playing Diablo 2, Starcraft, or the Warcraft games, the expansions always allowed you to play them whether you went through the first game or not. I just felt I was mislead with the word expansion. This game should have been a sequel to run on it's own just as the first did.

Very Buggy

I have played throug the main game a few times both single and multiplayer. The game is very fun but has quite a few bugs. The copy protection system does tend to lock up my machine quite a bit. I downloaded a hack to turn the copy protection off and I dont get near as many lockups now.

I dont believe the addon is worth $30. It has locked up a couple time totaly deleting all the items stored in my storage chest. I just had another crash and now all my quest are missing and I cant do anything. This means a new install and the loss of several hours of building my character. I wont do this I will put the game up on the shelf and look at it as a loss.

I have played quite a few games in my time and even games that had a few bugs here and ther. I have to say this is the most buggy game I have ever played. Mys system is a 3.2Gig machinf with 2gig of ram and the recomended video card. And it is still slugish and jerky.

The first bug That drives me crazy is the fact that I cant bypass the video intro and have to sit through it each time I start the program.

Great game... bad support.....

This game is a really great game!! the gfx is a 9.5 ( a over kill compared to d2) the sound in the other hand not so great. the music only play for 2-3 mins per sections of the game the sound fx's are good at 1st but gets tired out sence the music doesnt play for very long.. the game play is just as same as d2 and the char buils are a big plus in this game compared to d2 is much better. you get to have 2 diffrent skill builds witch is better to have then d2 witch means you get 2x's more char class's. the game plays well online hardly any lag. (gamespy servers) the story line as to some ppl might not like but is good to me and could be better but doest really matter like in d2 where all you want to do is get far and get stuff done & move on to the next quest.. (if your more into story then play offline this go's for both 2d & tqit)

well there are some problems with this game that many ppl are still having with this game (even with a high end pc) the game crash's..
this game has crashed on me every time ive played for longer then 30 mins.
dont know if it a memory leak issue or a Core 2 Duo issue or "both". i have 2.5 gigs of ram so i see no reson why its a memory issue unless the memory doesnt get dumped for all the monsters and stuff youve killed 15-25 mins ago ( witch the dead bodys doesnt dissapier over time like other rpg's) i have also done some reserch on the core due/ hyper thred issue.. this game was build off the core due/ hyper thred chip engine ( intel of course) so if your pc has one of these cpu chips your good to go but if you got a pent 3 or 4 standerd you might have problems as well.

over all sides the problems & such this game is a great game if thq would only release a patch to fix the crashing issue's & memory dump leaks & so on it could of out done d2 on the community side sence there would of been more pepole playing this game if it wasnt for the game crash's

Great Expansion

It had been awhile since I'd played this game. I first played it after most of the patches were released and stopped after completing the game on normal difficulty with an Assassin class character. I purchased the expansion right when it came out and was quite impressed. I won't go through the details since other reviewers have painstakingly done so already with great accuracy. I just found the game played better and the little things like footprints and the addition with the experience bar, while not actually adding to the gameplay, just makes it that much funner. A work of passion as you might say, they want it to be (for what it is) the best at what it does. It shows in this expansion. Yes, you need to finish the original game to play the expansion. There are plenty of NEW areas to play in the original if you haven't completed those yet. I would still recommend the expansion even if you haven't completed the original game yet because it patches the original to 1.3 and gives more extensive drops from the monsters and chests. I really liked Hades and the darker feel of the game, without being overyly devilish in anyway. Just more of a creepy dungeon crawl then the original. This game is no Diablo II but is original enough in the skill system to warranty playing. I haven't played World of Warcraft but the skill system, from people I've talked to who have, is probably somewhere between D2 and WOW. It copies that game some, but then, who wouldn't? It's a defining game in the MMO genre. This is more of a single player game but I don't see how that's a bad thing. The game actually finishes without requiring 3 years of subscription to fully explore while still being long enough to give you all the gameplay you ever wanted. You can actually get to a high enough level to have a truly established character before going to the next difficulty level (epic and legendary). Epic difficulty is easier at first because of the extra experience the expansion gives you but the difficulty goes up as you play. I find that the environment really gets me into this game. In the orient, I actually feel like I'm walking through a wilderness on vacation somewhere, just need to get past a few monsters to enjoy the scenery (more then a few). Great game, buy it if you liked the original. If you've already patched the original and it didn't work, this won't either. The game does seem to be very sensitive. I had to really tweak my system to get it running well, but it was worth it. For those who don't know how, hopefully it works right the first time.

Where as the first game had you wondering around the countryside looking for a monster while much better than Drakkhen an old but ponderously rememberable tedium of a Kemko game) but still a bit bleak this fills in the holes much like Gothic II's expansion did(w/o Starforce please, next time, Jo!). THQ seems to make a number of good titles thse days not a large company but not bloated either, they take game creation seriously and do it right and don't take the easy route to the darkside like EA or Jowood! Much like ValuSoft, they are commited and also these games take quite a virtual beating before breaking down and crashing to desktop, as in running around relentlessly(or trucking around in Valu) firing spells and opening/closing gumps carelessly while entering portals causes no problems here, a'tall, as in most games. The Age of Light is upon us! Hy-patia be praised! Please don't go Roman and corrupt lest ye Great Alexander Library fall to the Pluto and none may reach thee!

Endless glitches update

This is my third update in about three weeks. I want to like this game, there aren't enough Diablo style RPGs out there but this one just doesn't make it. First off there are many, many, many bugs and glitches. Crashes to desktop out of nowhere. Slowdowns. Stutters. Freezes. Character gets stuck in walls. Remove and reload base game, lose characters, start again. repeat.

Content: Where's the dungeons? At the heart of it this is supposed to be "Dungeons and Dragons", "Sword and Sorcery" is covered but what the heck am I doing fighting crabs on a beach and frogs in a forest in Hades??? Tigermen that look like "Tony the Tiger", and endless Ratmen? What's up with these "quests" that consist of "the beastie stole my stuff and went into this cave", go into the cave, kill the patheticly easy beastie and "tadaaa, you completed the quest and got 25,000 experience points".

Too linear. Even with the expanded maps in the expansion the game still consists of straight line outdoor paths with a few really small dead end caves to break up the monotony. Follow the edge of the map from rebirth fountain to rebirth fountain, kill the small packs of repetitive critters, collect stuff, sell it in town and move on. Endless repetition of areas, tilesets, equipment and critters. If you do encounter a tough beastie, there are a couple, run away, get back to town, restock your healing potions and switch weapons.

New skillset: What does the new skillset have to do with dreams? It's a pretty routine sorcery set, some spell effects with a familiar which has a death ray............Nice graphics but nothing original.

Crafting and recipes: Why can't I pick and choose what items I want to combine into a charm? Why insist on these bizarre combinations to get "plus 4% to whatever" and it can only be used on a bow or a shield, etc. Silly, frustrating stuff.

Expanded backpacks, caravan "stash", scrolls: Thankfully they added the caravans. But they're not in every town so you need to teleport from town to town carrying junk from the vendor to the arcanist to the stash and back. To assemble a relic colect all the pieces, insert in equipment to assemble, then take it to an arcanist to remove the assembled relic, then collect the various assembled stuff and take it back to the arcanist to complete a charm.........Whoever designed this mess needs to understand that I want to spend most of my time hacking and slashing critters, not jerking around enchanting stuff. Every town should have whatever's needed in proximity to each other, merchant, arcanist, caravan, etc. The scrolls are a great addition but they take way too long to recharge.

What they did right: The skills interface remains excellent, it's clear, organized and easy to use. The graphics are gorgeous despite the glitches.

Recommendation: Wait for this expansion to hit the bargain bin, by then they'll hopefully have patches up to correct the glitches. This expansion is NOT worth the thirty bucks IMO.

A bit more of everything

The IT expansion has shown the programmers actually DID listen to the people playing the first game. More of the fun things and less of the not so fun. I don't wish to spoil any of the surprises, so I'll limit myself to saying the items found and made are a lot more interesting and while the storyline doesn't make much sense it is fun.

Excellent addition to the basic game. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a fight - I can't get past the Centaurs (wow).
