Well looky here! finaly somebody posts this topic, for i am the diablo 2; Lord of Destruction(the expac) queen! 2 accounts all full, all characters above lvl 90. every type of sorceress(firewall, orb/t-storm, nova, fire-ball) so heres my expert analysis, sine im a freak for all role playing games:
Diablo2, Lord of Destruction:Awesome characters:Barbarian, Sorceress, Assassin, Druid, Amazon, Paladin, Necromancer; all with amazing skills.
The items, unique and rare: for those of you whove played D2, you all know how bad-ass those items are (soj, serepent skin yadda yadda).
The problem: Its repetitive. All hack and slash, you hardy need any strategy, except when youre dueling, and unless ur a sorceress, u wouldnt survive a duel with another sorceress. i mean, going through four long levels with 3 difficulties is gonna get boring really fast. Even the cow level gets borig after awhile! moo! lol
Baldurs Gate, Shadows of Amn, Throne of Bhaal: All excellent games, more class choices then D2. Plus, everyone in D2 is human, what fun is that? You can be evil, good, neutral, whatever.
The Items: lets face it, for those of you whove played D2 and LoD you know theres no comparing items. D2 is the ultimate item maker, damage an special statswise.
The Problem: Hardly any, except after youve played it 50 times it gets boring. And the cinematic scenes you cant skip, like irenicus's dungeon and all that.
So, D2 or BG?
My opinion? Both! D2 is an awesome online game, guilds galor(korean slayers, pkers). Baldur is a fun role playing game. i have both with all the expacs. Just user prefrence. Ive spent my weekends playing BG2 and ToB, and last summer every waking minute was played on D2. I love them both. and if you havnt tried D2 or LoD(LoD is way better)give them a shot, im sure youll like them
