I would like to know when in the meta storyline of Dungeon Siege "Throne of Agony" takes place. (It seems like it is some years after BW)

Will there be a port to other consoles/PC? (I had a PSP but it got stolen)

Is it using a different game engine?

I don't know anything about the PSP platform, so if this Q is silly just ignore me... but will ToA be modifyable?

Throne of Agony's storyline opens a month after the end of Dungeon Siege 2 and tied closely to the events that occurred at the end of DS2 (although perhaps not as closely as Broken World's storyline).

We would love to take the PSP game and put it on a larger platform (PC/console), but once you play Throne of Agony you'll see that it was built specifically for the PSP. Porting it to the PC probably wouldn't work well without redesigning the whole game.

Throne of Agony is running off of SuperVillain's own "Automaton" engine...so I guess the answer is "yes" :-).

No, sorry, I don't think we'll be seeing any mods for Throne of Agony out there.

During development of Throne of Agony, the goal was to shoot for 15 hours of gameplay, but in the end we ended up with more like 20 to 25 hours.

Of course, if you're trying for a speed-run you could do it in much less. I think the dev/QA team record was around 5 hours. (Not that I condone that kind of behavior :-).)
