Yes, can't wait for this to come out.
And to answer a bit about Path of Exile, it seems pretty interesting. Haven't played a lot yet, but it's cool. Looks nice, controls are good, and has some interesting mechanics. For one, the potion system is pretty awesome. Like Dungeon Siege, you only drink what you need, and also, your potions fill up as you kill enemies. Skills are derived from gems that you socket to your equipment. 'Normal' skill tree is somewhat all passive stuff. But it's freaking gigantic. Pretty overwhelming when you first look at it.
Back on topic, I think I'll go ferret, just because that's what I used in the first game. Brings back memories of Beastmaster
