I didn’t realize how much loot meant to me before playing Torchlight. Chronicles of Inotia I and II also showed me the way.

The way Monster Hunter handles loot sucks me into the game’s world so much more than other games. As Michelle mentioned, Monsters don’t drop money or potions, they only drop things that actually make sense. The series does a great job of being realistic in the context of its own world.

I think the items are the things I love most about Monster Hunter Tri, the fact that you don’t just “find” things on the ground, but have to battle wild beasts against ridiculous odds to gather them.

Always found it odd that wild creatures drop money and other random bits in other games. I like the challenge, like you I love working for my treasure.
