Quick question, nothing to do with BGII

Originally posted by The Offspring of Viconia and Edwin: Diablo? I bought that in the same week that I sold it. Completed too easily, barely any interaction with NPCs, the Street Fighter of the RPG world. Hack, slash, buy, rest. Hack, slash, buy, rest. Hack, slash, buy, rest. Planescape on the other hand, is utter class. It should be made on gold discs, and played only by the Pope.

NO way man, if only the pope could play it that would suck!

Originally posted by jinny: diablo is an AWESOME multiplayer game... no need for character interaction or whatnot... u get character interaction from the other 7 players in the game HAHA!i might be mistaken but the level of action in the game beats any black isle game (but i agree with others its one really bad single-player rpg)

even in multiplayer it kinda sux, i mean u dont actually haveto do anything, you can just wait until the other players kill bosses etc then rob the dead body even though u didnt d anythin and you've still completed that part...a bit strange, they could of worked on that a bit!

Planescape: Torment is an excellent game if you like NPC interaction. You learn much of the plot through interactions with others, so it is very dialog driven. You can play it more hack and slash, but you miss a lot of the plot. It is also singleplayer only (no multiplayer), though you can have the standard 6 party members. Less NPCs available, but all of them are fleshed out thoroughly. Great (award winning) story.

I gave up on Diablo. The epitome of hack and slash, so if you like that sort of thing, then great game for you. It reminds me of a much more advanced version of that game Rogue from the 80s (your character is an @ symbol, and all of the monsters are just letters, like T for troll. Your objective was to fight your way to the bottom of the dungeon, get the item, then fight back up. Very primitive, but still fun in a hack and slash sense). I know I just dated myself by throwing that one out there! I have Icewind Dale; it was given as a gift and I have never played it. I love interaction with the NPCs too much to go back to that.

Honestly, the Diablo series is horrible. I tried to play it again...I really tried...but nothing, save a major improvement via the 1.1 patch (unlikely) will make me consider trying again. I don't know who to give my uber items to, though :-D

You'll never win with the D2>All discussion on this board; the BG series is the polar opposite of the Diablo series =)

Did I mention that I hate Diablo?
