Yes, I forgot to mention that --- seems like they are releasing all their own tools and making it as easy to mod as possible, just not in multiplayer though, which is understandable but too bad. I also don't know how well the microtransaction financial model for multiplayer Torchlight will work. Seems like online games --- except WoW --- are still struggling to find workable good ways to make money. It will be interesting to see what DIII does there.
Runic is actualy much better off using the OGRE graphics engine they licensed instead of taking what Flagship was trying to put together for Hellgate and convert it to Mythos, so in the long run Flagship's demise may've been a good thing for the Torchlight version of Mythos.
p.s. Forgot to mention that Peter Hu from DII LoD is also working for Runic Games.
