It's funny, I was playing torchlight again recently, and I was surprised how much was stolen back from it to D3, I mean really obviously.  I know Torchlight stole a lot from D2, but it seems more was stolen back the other way.   

I kind of wish they stole more, I really miss the enchanting, so much better. 

I started playing Torchlight II, but with a friend who can't play much and he just wants us to discover it together, so I'm not playing it much.

PoE lost me, I think it was that all the people are practically the same, you just choose a path and follow it, so everyone can be kind of samey.
