Re: Blizzard legitmizes gold farming for Diablo 3
I prefer Diablo 2 over the original any day, just way too many improvements.
They're both absolutely stellar though in their own rights. D1 was the first game to really showcase Blizzard's story telling, and I envy anyone lucky enough to actually own a copy of the manual - I've only seen it because one of my friends has an original copy of the game. The artwork and backstory in that thing is a big part of what made adore Blizzard - they have some of the sweetest concept art & twisted plots.
Ah but all that's gone now. You have no idea how miffed I was when I picked up starcraft 2 only to find none of the awesomeness that was contained within the 1st game's manual. I is disappoint Blizzard
I do miss the music & cast from D1 though.I also especially thought it was interesting how you never ever got the same start - you could actually have separate character files and never run into the same quests because just about everything is randomized form the moment you first load the game.
For example, some times I would start my new character and there would be an NPC dieing in front of the monastery, serving as the flag for The Butcher quest. Other times it would be the Tavern's missing sign etc, etc. I also really liked how every time you grabbed a spell book, if it was a spell you already knew, not only did it level up but the mana cost went down.
