Repetitive??? BG2 is more repetitive than D2. Diablo 2 actually has random areas, monsters, and items. In BG2 you have teh exact same things. Items especially:
BG2 Player: "What item do you have?"
D2 Player: "King's Sword of Carnage. You?"
BG2: "Two handed sword +1...."[/QUOTE]That may be the case, but BG2 has an infinitely more absorbing storyline and doesn't involve walking up to endless monsters and pressing the mouse button. BG2 has NPCs and party members and side quests and battles that actually take some thought and tactics. Diablo 2 has none of these and I have managed to complete the whole game without ever thinking. I just clicked the mouse button about a million times and it was over.
It doesn't even come close to BG2 and is far more repetitive, but each to their own.
