Availability
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.

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
- 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).
Make TQDefiler to work with just base game[2]
|
- Download game.dll and extract it.
- Replace game.dll inside <path-to-game> with the downloaded one.

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
- 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.
Skip intro videos
Avoid having to press buttons to skip intro[citation needed]
