I just preloaded this game on steam and the download ended after not even a second was elapsed... Isn't this kind of weird?
I think this happens to everyone.

If it runs on Windows, it has to have an x86 processor. Windows 8 will be exception to this, but until then, that requirement means nothing.
If anybody wants to get rid of a copy of Torchlight 1, go post in the Steam thread. I got rid of an extra copy in a few seconds.
I'm on a pretty decent connection and the download took about 5-10 minutes.
Same here.. odd thing is that, it doesnt download anything just says Preload complete...
edit: It just download "installscript.vdf" on C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Torchlight II
edi2: Restarting steam fixed it
Seems like it, after restarting steam is now working for me

Can not wait to get into this game. Damn, I haven't anticipated one this much in a long time.
My Mass Effect mantra lives on, as I run Engineer 4 life yo. I hope there's plenty of good hammers in the game, because those are all I want to use, along with cannons.

I think the best feature of Torchlight 2 is not getting your account hacked and character stripped naked. And that actually happened to me, I'm not trolling.

Same here, my account got locked in fact. Figured I wouldn't touch that thing with a pole until I get an authenticator (not happening anytime soon).
Yep.

geeze billie, I actually mentioned it in the OP just for you
lol when I've grown tired of my zerker, I'm rerolling my female outlander named Nabooru, like a true bad ass, as I did in the beta.
I have no idea. That's the only one I played so I'm happy she was a girl.

the alchemist is overpowered to the point of being broken in later levels. the melee guy is pretty fun but a huge potion hog. I notice that the summoning tree for the berserker has self-healing skills so obviously runic want to make melee less pot spam heavy.

I keep having to dl files for this and BL2 for some reason.....
NG+ as mentioned already, and there will be the map room. You'll be able to use maps to go into randomly generated areas, and the maps can have random effects on them like 10% extra enemy health. I've heard it's much like Path of Exile, but I have not played that. There will also apparently be a random boss at the end. Plus, you know, whatever craziness the mods add to the mix.
I like your avatar.
I do the same. But if I play this as much as I think I will, I'll probably eventually have a male of each class too. Gotta try the weird builds.

Is there only one specific "look" for each gender/class? Like On the official website, the male engineer is the guy with the white hair and mustache, is that they only way you can look when you choose a male engineer (not counting equips of course)?

They have different looks, not a ton though.
I'm probably way off on this, but are open servers really that bad if you stick with your own private one? I recall there were password requirements in the beta if you wanted to play multi, so there's no reason that wouldn't work with this if we wanted to all be in, say, a GAF server. Or make it invite only, not so that it requires a password but that it actually requires a flag to be set in someone's account that lets them join the game.
Or something.
Or maybe they'll create some kind of checksum system so that if someone's character is edited they can have some kind of an online MD5-ish thing that checks if it's been edited or not.
I dunno. But I don't see how it'll be a problem (or at least, something that can be worked around fairly easily). I've never played am ARPG online before.
PS. The engineer looks boss. Most likely to be my first character.

For those on the fence:
I played the Beta for this and got enthralled immediately. I got TL1 with the pre-order, while it was enjoyable I found the beta for the sequel to be immensely better in almost every respect.

A typical Engineer would use 2H hammers, 2H swords, 1H sword + shield, or a cannon.
A typical Outlander would use a bow (there are crossbows, but they work like bows), shotgun, dual pistols, pistol + shield, or even dual wands or wand + shield. Though the cannon is a ranged weapon, that's more for Engineers. You can mix things however you want, but certain passives only work with certain weapon types.
Edit: Might as well add to this. Berserkers seem to be weighted towards claws, but they could really use anything, as long as it's melee. There are very few skills that would facilitate a ranged berserker build.
A typical Embermage would, of course, use a staff, wand + shield, or dual wield wands. Keep in mind you'll actually be using your weapons to attack with too, at least in the lower levels. It's a good way to build your charge bar - and then when your charge bar is full, unleash hell with infinite mana.
Pistols, shotgonnes and cannons (i think). Though I could have swore I used a bow during the beta, so maybe them too?
edit
Oh, VandalD gave a much better answer.
Ready to check this game out, I enjoyed the first one but didn't get into it as much as Diablo II. I think this may be a reverse in this case with me enjoying Torchlight II more than Diablo III, well that's the hope anyway. Having Co-Op built in alone will make this game better than the first (I tried the mod for the first). Getting excited!
