Looks rather good.

But what the fuck is with that orc in the trailer. Why does every semi-historical action game have to use stupid fantasy monsters instead of actually using mythological creatures people back then believed to exist, if they have to use monsters at all? :decline:

Just google "bonnacon" and see how much more awesome mythological creatures are compared to lame orcs.

Halo'd be thy name.

Looks real shiny, though. Might be good.

"There are reports of a wild animal in Paionia called the bonasus (bonnacon), which has the mane of a horse, but in all other respects resembles a bull; its horns are curved back in such a manner as to be of no use for fighting, and it is said that because of this it saves itself by running away, meanwhile emitting a trail of dung that sometimes covers a distance of as much as three furlongs [604 m], contact with which scorches pursuers like a sort of fire."

Yet another reason Titan Quest rules.

(And isn't it funny that Diablo II itself, with its all original monster design, gets no praise for originality? I mean zombies and warrior chicks aren't hard to think up, but you don't see goatmen too often, or little fetishes on each others' shoulders, or annoying fucking bugs that dig underground like that boss in Silent Hill except they don't turn into moths. And those little red or blue guys who all run away when you kill one? Brilliant. Monsters never run away when their friends bite it.)
