Does anyone out there play Diablo or Diablo II?
I am in the market for a new game, and heard about the Diablo trilogy. I had Diablo II a long time ago, but didn't have much of a chance to play it. I don't have the discs anymore. My question is.... does anyone recommend them? And if I were to take that advice and play them, should I play them consecutively?

I haven't played the first Diablo, but I've played Diablo II and I enjoyed it very much. I've heard the first Diablo was terrible, though.

Well, if you compare it against Diablo 2 and later games, Diablo is rubbish. But, for it's time, it was an awesome game. I've heard the Hellfire update/mod improved on it greatly. Still Windows 95/98 graphics though.

I only ever played the first Diablo, I never finished it, I remember an insane amount of left mouse button clicking. I do remember my cousin telling me how much he enjoyed Diablo 2.

Re: Does anyone out there play Diablo or Diablo II?
Bought 1 and 2 with all expansions few years ago. Still waiting to be opened. I'd like to play it soon but I'm doing Might and Magic at the moment.

Re: Does anyone out there play Diablo or Diablo II?
Which game in the Might and Magic series? And concerning Diablo II, I am into it now, and so far it's been great! For those who play Diablo II - when I get to hire characters a little ways into the game, do they ever level up? How do I un-hire a charcter?

Also, I saw that when a hired character makes a kill, I get some experience points. Now, when that happens, do I get the experience for the kill, or does the hired character get a portion of the earned experience?

Never really gave much thought to the hirelings myself. This is what I discovered on the battle.net website:

Re: Does anyone out there play Diablo or Diablo II?
Is there a recommended tactic to raising the level of the hirelings? I am about to go through the caves to the North on my way to see the Inifuss tree. Why don’t they level up well in places where the monsters/creatures are of higher level? I figured they would fight the harder enemies and in turn get a greater amount of experience. And what is the highest level a player can obtain?

Re: Does anyone out there play Diablo or Diablo II?
From what I've read, the maximum level in Diablo 2 with the expansion is 99.
Because of the way the maps are supposed to be randomized your caves to the North could be East in my play through. The problem with taking your hireling into a higher level area is the risk that the monsters will swarm and obliterate them before they can gain any experience. Though unless you plan on just blitzing through the whole game, it's very unlikely that you'll run into such a situation. Not sure if there's really a "strategy" to level up your hireling. I've found that as long as I keep their gear updated and revive them as soon as they die (return to nearest town pay the mercenary contact money) they keep level with my character pretty consistently.
