Agreed about the unbalance--enchanting can get out of hand, yielding some outrageously powerful equipment eventually. Nevertheless, the enemies scale with you and become very hard eventually.

Worth a look if you liked Diablo 2, are looking forward to 3, and want something similar in the meantime.
They moderately nerfed enchanting with the last patch (that I'm aware of). Even so, it does NOT help at the higher levels like I was saying. I tested this through cheating with items. Removed the enchant nerfs, gave myself a fortune in gold, and enchanted equipment until I was blue in the face and a walking God, with a capital bold G. I still got my butt handed to me. It took me an average of about 120+ seconds to kill ONE boss monster on the lava fortress style map, and that's starting from full health with no minions around to attack.

I'd say this game has the potential to be far greater than Titan Quest, if it can be fixed. Diablo and Diablo 2 will always hold a special place on my all time favorite games list and can never be replaced, though the later patches did sour the game and my rose tinted memory significantly. My fear is that the devs are going to put all their weight and time behind the upcoming MMO version of this, which I will ignore completely since I did and still do loathe everything MMO.
