Default Instead of the caravan...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an action RPG player must be in want of loot. Once all is said and done, all that remains in a game of this genre is collecting stuff. And TQ has a lot of stuff to collect.

One of the main drawbacks of the original game was the limited inventory. Some people used TQVault to remedy that, others had to make difficult choices about what to keep and what to throw away. The expansion will give us the chance to use caravans to store our stuff, but (to be frank and honest) I'm not 100% happy with that.

Ever since D2 my dream has been the possibility to buy an in-game house or something, a place where I can put all my uniques, sets and so on on display. A place where there would be shelves on the walls for weapons and mannequins on the floor for the armor. A place that would be common for all my characters (like the Cornerstone of the Worlds in Hellfire), allowing all of them to contribute to the collection, but also to benefit from the spoils of others.

We all know that there comes a point when money (or gold) no longer matters, because we have so much of it we don't know what to spend it on. That would be the perfect time to let the player visit a real estate agent in Athens or Memphis and purchase a small hut to deposit all his loot. The hut would have a limited amount of space (let's say 12 weapons and 3 mannequins), but you could increase it by spending more (just like in the case of caravans). You'd be able to see the characteristics of a given set by placing the cursor over over it, instead of having to wear it to see the bonuses. Then there is the "coolness" factor...

I know, it's hardly realistic, but it's something I'd love to see one day.
