This resulted in a direct conflict as other players who just wanted to go from point A to point B now had a massive player fort to navigate through, so we scaled it back to only finding other player’s forts in dedicated passageways, where you can either hop in and visit their Fort, or move on to your next area. At one point, we had public areas with respawning monsters, and we tried some prototypes to place the fort actually out in those areas, so you would happen across a player's fort during combat. There are still gameplay elements to it, but the people that really enjoy the Fort feature enjoy it because they can decorate and set it up to their liking and show it offįorts have gone through many revisions since the start of the project. The feedback that we got was that character progression needed to be more streamlined. Can you talk a little about Forts, how they work and how they’ve evolved as you’ve worked on the game? The opportunity to respec is available at Forts, although the focus in Torchlight III seems to be on building a character and sticking with it. We made special care to ensure that each Relic still has usefulness in every Class, and our Early Access players have been a great time figuring out where the synergies lie. Railmasters may find Flaming Destroyer’s 2-handed weapon passive and Cloak of Flames active skills as excellent additions to their Railhammer-based melee build, while a Dusk Mage might take Flaming Destroyer for the damage-over-time Blazing Pillar spell, complementing their own many damage-over-time spells.

Every relic can be woven in as much or as little as you like into your build, and each class may find different uses for them.

How might you employ them with different strategies? “Radiant Blast” in the Light tree would be the light equivalent if you are heavily investing in Dark. “Dark Spears” in the Dark tree is an excellent choice as a supplemental spell if you are heavily investing in the Light tree, as Dark Spears will deal damage over time, building up the Dark bar for a longer period. Harmonic Form triggers after a certain amount of time is spent dealing damage with both Dark and Light skills, and is a very potent increase to your combat effectiveness. Even if you mostly use Dark spells, you’ll want to include at least one Light spell in your loadout, in order to take advantage of the Dusk Mage’s Harmonic Form. Michael May, Echtra Games: The Dusk Mage, unlike other classes, really requires use of both aspects of the character (Light and Dark) to be played optimally.

Nintendo Life: What would you say are this character’s highlights? For players who enjoy wielding magic, what’s the best way to make the most of your powers with this class? The Dusk Mage is an enchanter who harnesses the power of light and dark energy to conjure devastating attacks.
