On my most recent playthrough, I've been exploring Torchlight 2 alongside SynergiesMOD, a total conversion that makes quite a difference to the way that the action RPG unfolds.Īt first, though, I had a hard time pinning down exactly what had changed. Or rather, something funny had been installed. Torchlight 2's a generous game, of course, but something funny was up. Shoulders, hats, trousers and various wonderfully nasty weapons potions, spells, piles of glittering gold. More loot than I'd ever seen in Torchlight 2 before: full knee-buckling inventories of the stuff. Mordrox had been hammered into oblivion, his skeleton guards were blasted into powdery white gravel, and, looking about, I noticed the floor was knee-high with loot. It made more of an impact on my latest playthrough, mind, and that's because of the aftermath of that final battle. Meet a shady character near Skull Hollow, chat for a bit, and then head deep inside the catacombs of the Bone Gallery to fight Mordrox, a giant zombie troll. It's a side-quest tucked snugly into the game's first act, and it's typically pulpy stuff. I didn't really notice Bring Out Your Dead on my first few playthroughs of Torchlight 2.
