i still never played the original torchlight, basically ignored it because it wasn't multiplayer even though i heard good stuff about it, so it's on my watch list.
The original torchlight is literally diablo 1 except there's no prereqs for the talent trees and they added a couple things (wow-like fishing for cosmetic items, a pet with an inventory you can send into town to sell your shit, a vendor who's literally a horadric cube, etc). All of the passive +damage to weapons/lower skill reqs overlap between each of the classes, so you can equip your guy however you want. For example, I'm a mage class with heavy armor, dexterity as a main stat, a shield, a pistol, and I just run around shooting things, throwing fire grenades, and having my golems punch things with my cat that summons zombies.
If you preorder Torchlight 2 on steam you also get a free copy of the original, btw.
EDIT: I know that the same people who made Torchlight made the original Diablo. IDK if anyone from Blizzard North is on the Torchlight team or not.
