You can also equip them with spells, so a little bundle of bitey death becomes a little bundle of bitey death that can summon zombies. First up they will help you in battle, chewing and scratching, and generally making the enemy’s life a misery. Now I know what you’re thinking, “oh the Fable games gave us pets!” which is true, but the pets in this game are infinitely more helpful.
Torchlight also gives you a choice of pet. A word of advice don’t dwell on this decision for too long as so many of the character’s skills overlap that at times you could be playing any one of the three. The Vanquisher is similar to the Destroyer, albeit with a penchant for ranged weapons. The Alchemist is your Mage type, casting all sorts of spells whilst (probably) feeling like a total bad-ass. The Destroyer is your He-man type – kill first, kill later, and if anyone’s left at the end then perhaps ask a question or two. At the start of the game players must choose one of three characters to play as.
