I am a huge fan of Titan Quest and THQ, the company that makes it. I love the expansion, and I say that having not even played in the new location yet! They added to the game so many cool new features. This game already had huge replayability, and now it is even more so. Awesome enhancements include:

- New "Dream" specialty - it's great, I'm using it
- More inventory space...you can now collect sets of items and suit up for different battles
- You can share items between your characters - this adds HUGELY to replayability, as when adventuring as one character, you can pick up an item that your other character can use
- My character now leaves footprints in the snow. Fricking footprints.
- Drops are now way better, much easier to get the specialty items
- You can separate relics from items (it can be expensive though, as it should be)
- You now find "formulae", which is a formula to make a charm that goes in a new inventory slot. You have to find all the ingredients and then pay money to get it made.
- They added commas to your gold total, so you can read it now
- They added a pop up clock so you can see what time it is

I mention those last two enhancements because they show the company really listens and takes the time to put in the little touches. That and I've surprised myself how often I use the clock.

I realize this review sounds like I work for the company. I am just a big fan. I'm sorry to hear the other reviewer had problems with it crashing. I have played the expansion probably 7-10 hours so far, and have only frozen once...the expansion is brand new, though, I'm sure they'll iron out the kinks in an update. I have a Core 2 Duo, 2 gigs ram, and an ATI 1900XTX, and I play at 1280x1024 with everything maxed.

I hope THQ keeps making updates and new releases of this game!

EXCELLENT MYTHOLOGY & GREAT FUN - - - THE FUN CONTINUES !!

Sure TITAN QUEST was what Diablo3 would have looked like - but this cannot be a bad thing! And now we have its EXCELLENT Expansion...

Quite realistic graphics achieved even on medium range PCs (a 3year old machine with only the video card upgraded to a 7600GT and an extra 1GB RAM can run it with everything on HIGH). Keep in mind thought that the expansion is more demanding than the original TITAN QUEST. If your PC barely handled the original it will run into problems with IMMORTAL THRONE - especially in Hades where the green glares increase the requirements.
I particularly liked that you can see the exact armor and weapons on your opponents and, after you killed them, everything drops for looting.

I am a great fun of D&D RPGs. In Titan Quest there is no deep background - except lots of excellent (mostly Greek) Mythology, CORRECTLY told for once. No ...Zena defending against the invading Persians by Leonidas side, saving baby-Jesus and laying waste with Jenkins-Han's hordes, all in one wrap!

There is no "official 20-sided dice" getting thrown somewhere in the background - do you really care? Hack, slash and destroy. Loot, sell and buy. Repeat as needed.

Where it misses the 5th Star: the game seems to run into Slow/Catching-up episodes with no pattern or warning. Lowering the graphics does not seem to help. I guess there is in need of a Patch. It does not occur often though, hence not a major complaint. Also, a bit short for such a huge original game.

You will surely enjoy it! GREAT FUN!!!

THQ got it right :)

High praise for Titans Quest: Immortal Throne!
I've played many many PC games and know what features I wish games would have. Titan's Quest: Immortal Throne got them all right :)
Yes, there are still some minor dislikes and I'll mention those at the end.

Things I like:
- You are resurrected with all your gear when you die.
- Resurrection is never very far from your corpse.
- Full on loot? Throw down a teleport.
- side by side item comparison windows at every seller
- side by side item comparison of equipped items with inventory items
- Character window includes easy to understand critical stats
- instant swapping of weapon and left/right mouse key functions
- Nice balance of graphics and game play
- Graphics aren't ground breaking but do fit the game perfectly
- Excellent voice acting
- good dialog - if you take your time and enjoy it instead of rushing through the game :P .. it's the journey not the destination :0

Multi-Player specific:
- Superb multi-player game play
- ultra easy multi-player set-up over internet or lan - THAT WORKS!
- Teleport system easily keeps party connected
- side by side item comparison in trade windows
- Works flawlessly with Team Speak (high praise for Team Speak!)
- Any of your characters can play in multi-player and single player

Things you may not like...
- too easy at normal game level and you cant change to higher levels till you beat the game. Mowing down hordes with impunity is the norm.
- limited.. theme, can get monotonous. No matter your equipment layout or powerset, the sum of the game is kill everything, gather loot, power up, repeat. But that's not to say it isn't fun to see cool new powers, weapons and armor, new monsters, new towns, scenery, etc - which they did a fabulous job of designing.

Final Thoughts:
The 1st 5 minutes of game play my impression was.. eh, not bad. Not really impressed or blown away, nothing new here that hasn't been done to death by other games. But the more I played...
The more appreciation I had for the game. Very smartly done interface, good graphics, sound, voice acting and excellent game mechanics. There are SO MANY things they got right in this game I am just amazed. 30 minutes into the game I was still nodding my head in appreciation for all the little things I'd wished for in other games.

Couple weeks later and still having fun with it in single player and multi-player.
If you're going to play Titan's Quest, spring for the expansion "Immortal Throne". It improves on a whole lot of gameplay mechanics, adds the very cool Dream Mastery, and adds a enough additional content to make it a must have.
Fun game, glad I bought it!

Slow-Downs and Speed-Ups Destroys This Game

I could not wait to get the expansion to the best game I've played in a while. When I got it, I could not believe how such a small glitch could suck all the fun out of an otherwise great game. The glitch is the frequent slow-downs and sudden speed-ups or even pauses while you are playing. I got killed a lot because the game would pause near a horde of monsters and when it un-pauses the monsters will be all over my character and he will be killed, or it would speed-up and I can't keep up with the monsters attacks. THQ advices that you should not teleport a lot in the game to avoid this problem, but why should we stop using a main feature of the game, why didn't THQ solve this problem. Furthermore, I suffer from this problem even before I teleport? And believe me it's a problem that will annoy the most loyal fans of the game.

A great add-on to the original. They clearly listened to suggestions from their user groups.

Titan Quest A must do for this summer

Loads of new items, a new mastery, more critters, etc... make this expansion worth every penny. Dream Mastery is awesome.

Pretty solid expansion

First off, I don't know how people are having so many problems running this game. I have a 1.8ghz AMD single core processor with 2000mhz FSB, with a AMD X550 video card (Pretty dated) and I have run this game both with 512mhz of ram and 1.5ghz of ram with few issues on medium settings. I'm not saying your specific set up will or won't face issues but I wouldn't be so easily swayed by people's horror stories.

This is a solid expansion though. You constantly hear this game being compared to Diablo 2 and I feel that this expansion basically added many of the things that I really missed from games like Sacred and Diablo 2. Here are my favorite additions to the game...

-Finally a button to sort your inventory.

-When you kill a boss you get a quest update like notice of the experience you receive for killing the boss.

-You can now track how much experience enemies are worth easier because you have a yellow exp. bar which is your true exp. and then you have the standard green bar that show where you were and slowly fills up the yellow bar.

-The ability to "craft" items kind of like you can with the horadric cube in Diablo 2 by using enchanters to make artifacts. Enchanters also have the added bonus of being able to strip runes and such of a weapon so you only feasibly need to hold on to 1 or 2 sets of runes you use regularly, something not even D2 had.

-Being able to undo spent stat points. I was pretty upset on my original characters when I found out I couldn't do this after going for strength and dumping points in to energy.

-Better item filtering, you now only pick up items that fall within the filter you are using and can't pick up items without holding the filter buttons ie. if I'm holding "x" to pick up only magic and better items I won't accidentally snag rusty copper daggers anymore. Awesome in multiplayer.

-It goes without saying that the Dream mastery is a pretty cool addition. I have yet to get many points in it though because it's my secondary class on my new character.

-Cross character storage is completely awesome.

-Haven't made it to Hades yet but they promise roughly 10 hours of gameplay out of the added chapter which seems fair for a single play through.

I really can't think of any strikes against the expansion that aren't already issues with the original game, I'd say it's a good buy, but don't purchase it from CAIMANOUTLET because they are absolutely horrible to do business with.

Great expansion

I like this expansion because you can wait until you beat the original game before loading your character into it, or start a character within the expansion pack right away. The artifact and new scrolls to use in battle are excellent and with new armor sets and the dream mastery, you just cannot go wrong.

If you like Diablo or the Titan Quest, this game is for you

Like Diablo II and following the original Titan Quest, comes this expansion. Not only is it more content, new mastery, new monsters, new chapter, new stuffs along with it, it also give a few much needed fixes like one can not pick up stuff unless you press a certain key and better chance of set/unique/scroll drops.

Yes, some have complained of the high price on this expansion, which is only 1/3 of the original game, yet cost just as much as the original. But seeing how much work one has to put into to balance the game out by adding a new mastery, tweaking, and such, I think it is worth it. Heck, if you enjoy such games, you got to support the game developers.

You have got to get a fast machine with fast card to turn on all the high settings. I got an old Dell with dual 2.8GHz, 1.5 Gb RAM, and an ATI X1900 card. I am playing with most of the high setting on and it is simply beautiful. The details of the characters, gears, monsters, effects are stunning visually.

Lastly, new to the game are some east eggs. Few people dislike them. But I for one, like them. Reading those useless yet funny scrolls somehow give those poor monsters human characters.

Overall, I highly recommend it. But beware, it is very addicting.
