How is Diablo III compared to Torch light?
Infinitely better judging from the beta.

What's the most obvious difference?
Developer is streaming Torchlight 2 for anyone interested. Know its not D3 but people seem to always be comparing them.

Production. You simply can't compare what a small team can do in a couple of years, versus the Blizzard machine for 5+ years of development and fine-tuning. D3 will simply have more content, perform better (bugs and exploits wise), be more balanced, feature rich, etc.
Torchlight is moddable, so I wouldn't be too sure of that.
Most Obvious? Tone.
More subtle is the loot quotient which is infinitely better than Torchlight (1 at least). Exactly the right drop ratio for items - how often you get them, and what rarity they are. Along with all the other little touches.

Most of the mods for T1 are worthless. Either they are aesthetic only like re-skins for characters & UI, or they are fixes to the base game systems and stuff that Runic fucked up. I don't think that mods will do much beyond that for T2. I know there are a lot of "new classes" mods, but almost none of those are even passable.
Oh god, I made it like 20 seconds in before I was sickened by the arrogant, condescending way he carries himself. =/
I like the idea of having two separate sources of energy. I'm guessing they've done away with mana pots?

Torchlight never felt like a coherent game. It was just a random mishmash of procedurally generated dungeon levels strung together by a laughable plot that I don't even remember. It felt more like a bad Diablo 2 mod than a game. You were constantly bombarded by a deluge of completely useless magical and rare loot that might as well have not existed. But the true killer of the first game was that it was single player only. Nobody plays Diablo style games in single player.
Right. If someone has gear designed to help them live through hoards doing the kind of damage that is done in Inferno, there's no way you're going to kill them with your hell level kit. That'll keep people spending large amounts of money on Inferno gear, which will make Blizzard a lot of money.
You don't think you're giving Blizzard perhaps just a bit too much credit there?
They have completely redone major aspects of the game in just the past 3 months. Runestones have been removed, classes have been radically changed from patch to patch, etc. They're not whipping out a chisel to tune the the details of their statue, they're bringing out sledgehammers to get the general shape down. I've no idea what they've been doing the past 5 years, but FFXIII showed that years of development time don't necessarily mean years of development.

rush4forgeThere any benefit to helping someone lower through the game?
Torchlight 2 has a lot going for it with the whole online mods thing. Runic could just release more Mod tools later to add tons longevity to the game.
D3 has blizzard's (I'm assuming) good support going for it. Although, hearing about them completely restructuring the game sounds a bit scary.
The gameplay for both looks good though.
LOL @ putting D3 Besides FF13.
Can you please change my class to Wizard MrMister. I'm jumping off of the Demon Hunter boat. It'll be my first alt though.
Speaking of Torchlight, I found this nice Diablo III Vs. Torchlight 2 infographic. Sorry if old.
Oh I got a question. Is Inferno soloable or does it just not scale down enough? I want that Inferno armor, but I doubt I'll have any higher skill friends to play with outside of GAF.

It's 6:05am... I tried getting some sleep but all I could think of was Diablo... so I woke up and here I am.
Fuck, what do I do... I think I'm gonna die.
The treasure waits for me. I wait 9 days.I must have diablo 3 i must play. I need to get ALL the items.
You're right Arnold, I'm sorry... I'll go to bed any minute now. I will sleep 8 hours... see you then ♥What the fuck. Are you your own worst enemy, Yoshi? Sleep is the way to heal, to reorganize, to relax. It is also a mini-teleport that nets you 8+ hours against the waiting battle that is happening until may15.
You gain NOTHING by not sleeping, and you are losing a LOT.
So get the fuck out of your room, go to the bedroom, and sleep every day, 8 hours. From now on. Every fucking day!
Also, needless to say, the more healthy you start playing Diablo 3, the more you will be able to actually play it. If you get there half-dead, you wont last. So...use your brain
So if it scales, theoretically 4-player could be harder than solo if you group is just average skilled?
Gold isn't something you can deposit, it's a value shared by all your characters. In case you didn't know.
Yes.So, the ability to deposit gold into your charcter's stash has been removed? (comparing D2 and D3 here)

There was a whole separate thread about that setup.
