This whole "casual gamer" centered design is what became the plague of modern gaming.
But I remember the pre-expansion Diablo 1, and it was _sucky_ to be gentle. All the good stuff including runes, higher level uniques (remember there wasn't any uniques in nightmare & hell), runewords, hammerdins (argh!) came much-much later. So I am saving myself for the expansion, I am done with this one.
You mean the pre-expansion Diablo 2, I agree. I'll give it another shot when the expansion is released. I played D2 for 10+ years... waited for this piece of crap to be released.
