I remember that when I played Torchlight I decided to go for hard difficulties after reading that Normal was really too easy, and that was a nice decision in the end. Completing the first time through Torchlight was not straightforward and was just challenging enough.
How does difficulty work in Torchlight 2? How many levels are available and what are the differences between them?

There are 4 difficulties: Casual, Normal, Veteran, and Elite, and in addition a hardcore mode. Can be seen on this video at around 2:50.
As the official site states:
The loot and drop rates don't change, only monster health and damage change.
And there is always the option to create your own difficulties with mods, to suite your specific desires.
