A1.
There's a demo on STEAM, i'll try that if when I get a chance.
You will get the full first act...
One thing, and I'm not saying this because I dislike Steam... I'm saying this from experience, purchase the full digital installer version, not the steam version. Please do an old tit a favor, and get yourself the full digital installer version if you do decide on purchasing it.
Also, the Steam version is having problems (Steam is causing the problems, not Torchlight 2) considering that Steam forces you to have to deal with it's peculiar rollback option, and Steam Cloud (or something like that which is causing some sever headaches) which they say can be turned off, but in reality it can stop you from playing the game, so get the full installer version.
I have poured over Runics forum areas, I have read everything that could be read about it.
Anyway, if you wish to have a level 48 in MP to help you out, I'm out there somewhere (nick=Mikesla). I don't cheat, and there are no rules while playing...it's all about the adventure, and if you need any loot, let me know, I can drop a few things I have stored.
Also one more thing about Torchlight 2, just because you may finish the quests, you can always play the Random Dungeon generator (I haven't seen it yet, but read all about it), or create a new character, and start off on a higher level of difficulty, or go to the console, and type in a choice command to change the difficulty.... This game is simply amazing, and I know they will be adding much more to it.
