Do you like Diablo 3?

Somehow Titan Quest was mind-numbingly boring for me. I think I put in about 6-8 hours and that was it. Torchlight though, while after awhile feels repetitive, still a great lot of fun.

The thing is Torchlight 2 will NEVER be able to have the same level of polish as Diablo 3.

Polish is a very vague descriptor, what exactly do you expect TL2 to be lacking? Admittedly, I've only got videos of TL2 to compare to the few hours of beta time I put in to D3, but graphically they both seem fine and I like the aesthetics of TL2 better, but I can understand that being subjective. The gameplay appears to be as least as good as TL1, which was quick and responsive. I don't know what seems unpolished except perhaps that TL2 is still in an actual beta state whereas I'm pretty sure the Diablo 3 beta was a "beta" with massive quote marks, that is to say a demo to hook in purchasers.
Volatar:
Path of Exile is going to be another, F2P alternative to D3.
Wanderer:
Heh... that's interesting.
The always on - glitch testing against accounts due to the real-money auction house is a bonus to me. I believe you should be able to disconnect and NEVER use any of the online features, but that's a choice they made to not redesign a thousand internal pieces.
As for the social network meh.
Respeccing my primary dude? Sweeeet!
Btw, it's not pay to win. You can very happily go through the game without paying for a single thing. Where the money will come in will be for that 'gotta have it'! pieces of set armor or random ultra-level gear for Nightmare level players. Everyone else can go through 99% of the game without the real money auction house. Though a lot may hit the in-game money auctions just to pick up uncommon stuffs.
Also, most people who can afford a triple A title on launch day have internet. Sure, you might want it on your laptop while you're on a plane to kill off half an hour, but lets be honest, Diablo isn't marketed to a casual crowd anymore, if it ever was.
Castruccio:
I have the Torchlight 2 Beta and have also played Diablo 3. Torchlight 2 is more fun because the loot is better (they don't have to balance it for arenas) and the game is generally faster paced and more exciting.
