Speculation on Immortal Throne

[Alphidius]

Who let the dogs out? Woof.. woof..

I always wanted to do that!
So we do get to battle Cerabus!
Sweet!! BTW... nice picture IL!




More giants...

Can someone tell me if I'm dreaming or is the left most monster holding a weapon with both its hands?
A new weapon type? Halberd? Trident?

What intrigues me is the hero on the cover has a staff/spear in one hand and a sword in the other.

What intrigues me is the armour she's wearing...

[Batman]

It's fair to say, we are intrigued.

Also note the fact that she has blonde hair. Does this possibly mean we can alter our character's appearance?

And fighting Cerberus sounds like it'd be fun. If Hydra was the legendary optional boss on TQ (and was on the cover of the original game), perhaps Cerberus is a similarly powerful optional encounter in Immortal Throne?

And I wouldn't rule out a two hand weapon line like other games have had, staves are already two handed but why not lances and great axes?

Here's the description of the game that I saw in the link to Immortal Throne on Batman's post on preordering it:

"Titan Quest: Immortal Throne is the action-packed expansion to the 2006 RPG hit, Titan Quest. Brian Sullivan, award-winning co-creator of Age of Empires and Titan Quest, continues the epic story across the dark and more sinister Underworld of Hades. In this epic quest of good versus evil, players will encounter the greatest villains of Greek mythology, brave the attacks of Cerberus, and hazard the banks of the River Styx. Along with new foes, players will find new allies. Players will interpret the prophecies of the blind seer Tiresias, fight alongside Agamemnon and Achilles, and use the wiles of Odysseus to defeat powerful enemies."

Features:

• 10 Additional Character Levels – allows players to bring existing and new characters to new heights, along with higher level equipment and skills
• 8 New Character Classes – The expansion pack features an entirely new skill mastery, which combines with existing skill masteries to create eight new exciting character classes.
• New Exotic Monsters and Locations – Quest through exotic locations in the Mediterranean area and ultimately descend across the river Styx into the heart of Hades. Defeat terrifying new monsters on your way to victory!
• Artifacts – A new type of rare equipment with a new slot on the character interface gives the player character a powerful bonus.
• Enchanters – A new type of NPC character that can create artifacts from recipes.
• Caravans – Traveling NPCs will meet you in major cites throughout the ancient world, storing your most precious goods, and allowing you to transfer them between your characters
• More Unique Equipment – Uncover hundreds of powerful new unique items as you quest through the Underworld of Hades.

I think you may be reading too much into this. If she were holding a shield, it would block the view of her two big, uh, selling points.

So do we get to play the blonde chick in a skimpy outfit, or are we still stuck with tunics?
