I don't want to pay the few bucks for something that I might not enjoy ^^ I know... I'm an idiot...
Well I wouldn't say you're an idiot. That's going too far. Autistic savant is a better title You won't play the game but you won't pirate it either. My advice is try and get it off a friend, there are bound to be one or two people you know with the game, especially if they bought the Battle Chest for D2.
Enjoyment is not optional... :confused:

PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
Come on guys, this is a Diablo fan site right? How can anyone be a true fan if they have not even played all 2 games and don't even want to. I understand that I got into the series at the start and others did not but if you know another Diablo game exists, how do you not go run out and by it this minute? That's like some saying they are a huge Beatles fan but never listened to their first two albums. I am not saying you can't be a Diablo fan without playing D1, I just don't get how any true fan can resist playing another Diablo game.

Friend showed me Diablo like a year before Diablo 2 came out. I started to play it and kept getting stuck at the Butcher so I just decided to get the Bobafett editor and cheat my way through the game.
ive beaten diablo 1 on all classes as well as diablo 2 diablo 1 tho is way to easy but Good Story Line VERY GOOD and tells how diablo returns in diablo 2 ill link the vid
Diablo corrupted the soul stone and throughout the game he slowly tricked the character into thinking that the only way diablo could be contained was to wrestle with the demon himself which was diablos plan all along in order to acquire a stronger body to control

I have never Played Diablo 1, and probably never will.
I am sorry, but I have standards in graphics, they are at a CS1.6 Minimum lol.
*special exception granted to Diablo2 LoD*
If there is one thing I have a real problem with, it's people who care about graphics. Now granted, I have never been able to max out settings on computer games or even turn the slider bar even the slightest bit up... ever, so maybe my view is slurred but, it is not the graphics that make the game. Definitely is not. You should play it not because it looks good, but because it is a good game, it tells a story well, it plays well, it's difficult to master but easy to learn.
Hell, look at Starcraft:BW, the graphics on that are bad, but it's still huge! What does that tell you about the game? People don't stop playing things just because they look their age or get old (granted there are lots of games that were never played online but there are better reasons than graphics for that), even the original 1.6 or CS:source are proof of this. They are still played quite a lot today, and they definitely are not the games of today.
You should play the game to learn the storyline atleast. That's why I bought WC2, so I could figure out the events before WoW and before WC3, as the references to the backstory had me confused.
Play the game man, hell, hack it and just listen to the dialogue and watch the (few) cutscenes. But check it out.

If you never ever played Diablo 1 you are missing a HUGE game that made history, nice graphics, nice sound, music, atmosphere ( very different from D2 ). And also the "creator" of the action-RPGs that you play nowadays.
So to help you that never played.
Here goes the DEMO version of Diablo 1, its something so you can have a taste at least:
just dl the demo and walk around the town, talk to npc at least...
hell, i bought the battle chest (one with d1) recently just to get the manuals and diablo 1 cd even though i already have d2 (lost the manual and box tho )
download the demo, sh!t ur pants, rinse/repeat.

Bah, it's a matter of prioritizing. Right now I have other things I'd rather do on the computer than play D1.

What I remember most was the constant steam of barely clothed women being killed.
Good times good times.
Sounds kinda like you're describing diablo 2 though :confused:

I think he's referring to the D1 Succubi.

Only 50 MB
If you like it, and CAN buy, buy it, you wont regret !
If you never played you should meet The Butcher !
I'm also trying and failing to make D2:Lo cd-less without downloading it from the blizz site.
