I don't care for gamepads, but I agree on the dated part. Original TQ feels very sluggish, slow paced and limited in its movement nowadays. Kinda why I also couldn't get into the newer addons since their return. I wonder if TQ2 even addresses this in a meaningful way. The build variety I hope will be about as good, if not better, than what TQ had to offer - which was definitely one of its strong suits. I'm glad they're back though, and that they have the rights to their title back as well. TQ and probably Hellgate were probably the hack'n slay games I played most aside from the Diablo franchise, which now can go fuck itself.
I do like the graphics though. Gives a painted feel without looking cartoonish.
