I'm afraid I must agree with Keepbro on this subject matter, there's just something different about the fact that you're never going to get out alive, it's just a matter of how long you can stay alive.
Torchlight 2 eh? Let me know when you're moving onto that one and I'll play it through yah if you want? My previous file was lost in the recent wipe I had to do, so I need a reason to play through it again.
