Thanks for sharing that Phanjam, it's given me a new direction to try with something I've been wanting to do for a while

With 1, the thing that springs to mind is do it in the UI, if player has skill A then grey out and disable skill B.

If anyone's interested, these are the items from the 'Fate' games, in case you never knew these games were made by the same brains behind Torchlight. The items are all listed in one text-based file per game and are easy to read/follow and simple to port into Torchlight II. You will see the many similarities when you view the files. Sticking this up as I pulled this data some time ago and never got round to making any use of it, thought I'd put it here in case any of those mods that add more items/legendaries etc wanted to use these.

The standard items are pretty useless and already in Torchlight II but the uniques and legendaries are worth looking at, to find them open in your favourite text editor and search for <ARTIFACT>

That's very smart and well considered game design there, great lateral thinking. As solid as that thinking is, and whilst they are absolutely right to go in this direction for this type of game, it does however also tie-in to the fact that if character progression is more gear-oriented then it brings with it the danger of pay-to-win if they are going to offer 'gear' via in game purchase mechanism. Even this good thinking - and orienting more towards gear - does very little to mitigate the problem in every single action RPG, which is that you reach a point fairly easily where it becomes a grind because nothing drops that's much better (if at all) than what you've already got and cultivated for yourself through enchantments and other game mechanics. TL2, Path of Exile, D3 and even Grim Dawn all suffered from this. The reward to grind ratio is just too poor at advanced stages, I lost count of how many hours I chucked into D3 and Grim Dawn for the sake of finding an epic/legendary item only to find it was 0.01% better at damage but simlutaneously worsened defence even though that item had rolled at a higher level range.

Saw the GIF on Discord and I thought it was absolutely fantastic, amazing work once again!

I will credit you as I'll use this in my project in which Syl appears - kind of

Edit: the model is showing up blank in GUTS, which skeleton is it bound to - the player HUM_F or the NPC HUM_F?

Thanks for the welcome back Kva3imoda ANy chance you can re-upload that warbeast one?

Just wondering if Kva3imoda ever made his skeleton monsters available for download? I'm at a point where they could come in really handy but can't recall them being available?
