Version differences

Immortal Throne is the only expansion for the game. It brings many seamless enhancements to the original campaign and works as an add-on. It requires the original Titan Quest to be installed. Immortal Throne is required for most patches and mods.

A bundle of Titan Quest and Immortal Throne is the most desirable version for newcomers (Oftentimes called Titan Quest Gold). Original version characters can be also imported into Immortal Throne, but the best option is to start a new game within Immortal Throne.

The German version offered by Steam is a low violence version and only available in German by default. English language support can be patched in, the game itself will stay low violence, though.

Essential improvements

Patches

Fan patch 1.17a

Already included with some mods, strongly advised. It fixes many bugs and technical issues left in the game. Immortal Throne expansion is mandatory.

Instructions

English Language Patch

As noted above, the German version is a low violence version with German texts and dialog only. To enable English language support you have to download the language pack and replace a number of files in the installation folder of Titan Quest. The full instructions (in German) and the language pack can be found here.

Utilities

TQ Defiler

Can fix the RNG, slow casting and the socket error

A versatile program with built-in mods, intro skip capabilities and a character editor (either to fix/restore broken characters or to cheat)

Instructions

TQ Vault

Acts as an external, independent, shared inventory. You can create unlimited Vaults, each holding whichever items you put in them. Useful for creating collections of rare items or "twinking" (giving characters items found by other characters, generally from later parts of the game and higher quality). It also has some item-editing features, such as the ability to change a relic's completion bonus, clone items or complete sets. User's of the Steam version of Titan Quest cannot use this tool. Use will likely result in corruption of all characters edited by the program.

Modifications

Underlord

Extensive mod that raises the level cap to 85 (from 75) and introduces new content as well as balance, making the game more difficult overall but close to its original style. 1.17a patch is embedded.

Underlord Primer provides a useful gameplay guide to Underlord for newcomers.

Skip intro videos

Introductory cinematic video is unskippable the first time you launch the game. Then, it can be skipped by clicking or pressing some keys.
