Yeah, I was kind of disappointed about this, too, as I agree that Action RPGs feel great with a gamepad… however, there are lots of hotkeys in Torchlight II that you can use, right? So isn't it more geared towards mouse/keyboard, anyway?
Might be so.
Anyways, i started over on the hardest difficulty and while it's still easy in the begining it does get a lot harder

Very addicting gameplay i have to say (playing as an Engineer). Wasnt sure i was gonna like this since i didnt care much at all for Torchlight 1 (and hardly any games in the Diablo-like genre). For $20 it was easily worth giving it a shot, glad i like it more than i first expected.
