i am walking around with my pet the Netherlord!, he spawns his adds too.

Seems you can outfit these pets with armour and weapons too.

Not sure if runicgames will agree with this tho..by reading the posts theres it goes against some copyright laws. I wish i could give my pet items...but seriously..a netherlord pet and he spawns his own minion as well? thats just ridiculous !

You must be new to modding, most of us are not. I was playing mods over 10 years ago in games and those had models all perfectly built from the real thing.
You want to go take a look at some simulater sites and look at all the models of planes / cars etc in those mods, as long as no one makes any money then i have never known a mod based on real likenesses to be legally stopped.
Ofcourse you always get the scaremongers, but they will bitch about anything.

ps, netherlord spawns minions not minion, theres loads of other pets to try too.

Oh,yes am new to modding...in some way i like it..in others im against..depend on how far these mods change the game. Having a pet netherlord that spawn minions...to me its too much..considering how strong he is.

that would be awesome if you can have a little version of the netherlord or other bosses, they wouldnt have any special abilities, they d just change the appearence

This game is made to mod, quite afew games are released like this so modders can do what they like to it without any repercussions to the developer.

You only have to look at the mod page on the main forums or check out steam to see what has been made by the small mod community for this game, mods range from gold drops to legendary weapons and extra stash space, you have mods that change buff timers so you dont have to press a button every 30 seconds, reworking of main skills so they become more inline with the op (most used) skills, modders are working on the 1 shot and you are dead abilitys of monsters, these are just some of the projects, imagine what will be once the main tools are released by Runic to mod their game.

There is a price to pay for all the mods though, that is compatability and fair play. Runic needs to have some closed servers for those that would like to play tl2 in vanilla mode (they could do ladders like in d2), also the hardcore community wouldnt be such a joke with people reloading files when they get killed.

Anyway tl2 has been a gem for me, i have really enjoyed playing it and for the price it is great value.

This 100%

Couldn't have said it better.
