I just want to point out that, "fanboyism" aside, you're quite wrong about the style of game that this is. Your comparison to Titan Quest couldn't be farther off, because it's not a "point and click action RPG." You command a party of four characters, each with up to 12 different abilities on their hotbars; these abilities range from direct attacks, to party buffs, to heals, to enemy debuffs, etc. You can play the game in real time and set up a series of "tactic" macros (with If -> Then scenarios, such as "If party member is at 50% health, automatically cast Heal on them,) so that you don't have to micromanage as much.

There is no wild clicking like in Titan Quest, but instead frequent pausing, re-assessing the battlefield and queuing up different abilities to deal with evolving scenarios. The combat itself is quite visceral, with some amazing finishing moves; early in the campaign you get to see your character vault up onto the chest of an ogre and shove a sword into its face.

If you're holding off on your purchase because you think it's going to be like Titan Quest, then you're doing yourself a disservice. If you're looking for a first-person "mouse-click to swing" RPG though, then yes you need to look elsewhere.
