Hey guys, welcome to the second part of our Torchlight II mod spotlight series! Previously we talked with the SynergiesMOD team, please check it out if you haven’t already done so. Incgamers: How did you first come across the Torchlight series, anything in particular that attracted you to Torchlight 2? This time we got in touch with OedipusTex who shows us his work within the Torchlight II modding community, particularly about his interesting Theolentist class. OedipusTex: I was always a fan of the Diablo series. TL2 is just such a high quality product it was difficult to pass up. Beserker is fun, later levels you just gib anything and everything that looks at you funny. No need to focus on special skills or other peoples builds. So, unless you play the higher difficulties, pick what you like and have fun. It’s even somewhat popular among my non-gamer friends. Torchlight 2 is generally an easy game with little to no penalty for dying. OedipusTex: Building things is always fun! What inspired you to think I’m going to build a Theolenlist class for Torchlight II?īeyond that, the promise of being able to create your own classes was a big draw. TL2 happened to come on the scene at an opportune time for me.
My “main” game, City of Heroes, had just announced it was closing its doors. The Theolentist began as an experiment to see how difficult it would be to bring in some of the City of Heroes archetypes into Torchlight. Along the way, the class shaped itself into something unique. Incgamers: What are you currently working on right now? But I think old City of Heroes players will be able to see the stamp of where that game heavily influenced the design of the Theolentist. OedipusTex: The Theolentist is still in it’s alpha stage, meaning large updates are happening pretty regularly, including the occasional total rewrite of a power. The Biology tree is the next to get some major work done to it. As I am writing you, I am editing the particle effects for a few spells using a Layout editor tool. The tool was created by a very helpful community member who wanted to give us the ability to edit files prior to the release of GUTS. What is the is Theolentist class? Can you tell us what you’re trying to achieve etc? Incgamers: I’m sure they know who they are :). The Swordsman has a rather small selection of active skills available. He starts the game with sword and shield but can trained to become either a 2H Damage Dealer, 2H Tank, 1H Damage Dealer, 1H Tank, an Axethrower or Archer. He is a versatile warrior, specialized in physical damage. OedipusTex: The “Theolentist” is a blend of a scientist and a Priest style character. The Swordsman is a new playable class for Torchlight 2.
It is a caster-class that uses the powers of Biology, Physics, and Astronomy to battle enemies. The main thing I’m trying to achieve with it is adding more excitement to an already great game. What I’m specifically aiming for is fun more than balance. Incgamers: Sounds cool, I like the sound of the physics and astronomy trees, what’s your favourite feature about your class? Best torchlight ii class mod#īut I’m also providing the Theolentist class to other modders who want to bring it in to their own mod environments. OedipusTex: Probably the class and skill icons! I was very lucky to recruit a talented icon artist, who I think really gave the class a unique look and feel. They are designed by a community member named TwinkleToes.
This is not one, but a whole pack of mods! Torchlight II Essentials in Steam Workshop or Haknslash Essentials.Beyond that, I’m a big fan of the spells in Astronomy that cause a lot of knockback though. It adds a huge amount of new content – classes, monsters and even entire cities! In addition, a new crafting system (Soulcrafting) will appear in the game, as well as Endgame Dungeons, which are distinguished by their complexity. Here you can find mods that allow nearly unlimited customization of Torchlight II. This is one of the most famous and popular mods for Torchlight 2.
