Well, don't I feel silly. For the longest time, I've always thought that the game moves too quickly for me to see the damage text, both on enemies and on me. Today I learned that the game speed can be manipulated by the refresh rate of my monitor. I'm pretty sensitive to frame rates in most modern 3D games, so I have a monitor whose refresh rate is at 144Hz, for the extra smoothness. What this means is, I'm running super turbo mode LoT2. Great for grinding levels though, no doubt.
