isnt Torchlight going Free to PLay MMORPG sometime in future? That is the multiplayer part. I kept reading that way back, maybe its all changed. Music the same? Well for some people who dont write or compose music Im sure the Rolling Stones and the WHO sound the same too, or all country songs sound the same, trust me, if they where somebody would be talking to a laywer. Same as Diablo? Again, I suspose as much as Farcry is the same as DukeNukeum or Doom. Its the same style of game. it uses the same control mechanic and health and mana pots, and random magic items. Much as pretty much every FPS uses the same contorl mechanic, guns and healthpacks and ammo.

Not much original out there anymore, Blizzard (and the guys from there making Torchlight) have always took some other game/idea, copied it and basicly made it a bit more fun to do then the first version (not hard to improve after the fact). But Bliz is EXPERT at it...pretty much every (successfull) game they have is a clone of another.

DUNEII-Orcs And Humans (warcraft)
Diablo-Crusader
Lost Vikings-Gobliiins
Blackthorne- ...err everybody made these back then
Everquest-WoW

of course you can easliy point to some of those (left side) as copies of something else.
Herzog Zowie-Dune II
Meridian 59-Everquest
etc....
