I'm sorry I was under the impression that Bashiok posted here. I'm not a frequent forum reader.

In the past couple years I've patiently waited to read a brief passage somewhere on story completion and I think my ability to ignore this topic has reached it's max. I'm not looking for some long drawn out discussion (unless you'd like one, although I doubt it will happen without leaking spoilers) about this, a simple yes or no will do just fine. As a gamer I've been drawn to the story of a game more than anything else rather than in game weapons, skills, graphics, attack animations and what not. I'm much more interested in the story and how it advances. But basically I just want to know one simple thing:

Is the storyline complete, and set in stone? I'm an easy person to please and an answer to this will reset my anticipation level to 0 for at least another two years.

I'd really look forward to a release date more than anything. But we know that is highly unlikely. :wallbash:

As far as playing the demo, to me that's a huge tease. Especially with 5-10 minutes of play time. Like paying to get blue balls at a strip club.

I will help you with that, can you check for me what kind of slot you have for a graphic card? AGP, PCI or PCI-e.
This is usually written on the motherboard next to the graphic card slots, if not give the name of the motherboard (should be written on it) and the current graphic card you have.

Next to that tell me what your CPU is so we can scale your new GPU along with the CPU.
That way we can get you a nice GPU for a decent prise, instead of most idiots that would just rant getting one of the best cards. Also what is your native resolution (check your screen or gpu if your current gpu can handle the native resolution.) and do you want to play at this resolution?

At the very least the minimum bar will be set at 128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO.

I'm pretty certain it's AGP from what I've read about it online. I've been using a cheap $70 graphics card I bought from Wal-Mart years ago. All I really know is that it's a Visiontek Radeon, however I can't remember which one exactly. If it helps, I found a list of all the technical lingo of my CPU here: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/emachines-t3085/1707-3118_7-30826600.html

So any other recommendations as far as a graphics card goes? I don't need the best of the best, but somewhere halfways decent would be great for me. As far as RAM goes I hope I won't need 3, as my computer has a 2gb minimum, and I don't have the money right now to buy a new computer or to fully upgrade everything from the mother board to the hard drive.

I'm running Windows XP. I'll never go Vista, and possibly never go to 7.

But I'd prefer to run the game full screen just like I did with Diablo 2, in which case my maximum screen resolution is 1440 x 900. So I guess what I'm really wondering is what graphics card I'll need. I'm running an eMachine T3085. After a little research I believe the best thing for me to go with is a Geforce 7600GS 512MB (Agp). But I actually came to that conclusion by reading a forum elsewhere posted by someone who happened to be using the same model computer I was. I'm below the rank of a novice when it comes to all the numbers and such. I don't want to get something my computer won't be able to handle.

EDIT: Also, according to what I've read, my computer has a 2 gb maximum when it comes to RAM.

Whenever Hell freezes over and this game is finally released, I'm positive I'll have to update my RAM and graphics card. Question is what graphics card and how much RAM should I get?

I don't think I'd be happy with having the identify system taken out. For me it adds to the experience. I mean if you were out scouring the wilderness in real live, you wouldn't pick up something and instantly know what it is.

I say take a page from Baldur's Gate (PC version) and Icewind Dale. Depending on how high your lore skill is, you can check the item's description and have it identified that way as well.

I agree this would be a welcomed change. As long as it general skills I don't see it being a problem.

But, if dekard has golden heart valves I don't see him dying any time soon. Maybe he'll just retire and go and read books I some geriatric dungeon.

Golden heart valves? Perhaps this mean Deckard has been an angel in disguise all along. I mean, he just HAPPENS to be the only survivor of Tristram? He's an old man...I believe there is more to Cain than meets the eye.

Beat you to it? That was posted almost a year ago!

lol I noticed. I have a habit of noticed post dates slower than most people.:offtopic:

"Fool! You have just ensured the doom of this world. You cannot even begin to imagine what you've set in motion this day. Go to the Temple of Light, in the eastern ciry of Kurast. There you will find the gate to Hell opened before you. You must find the courage to step through that gate Marius. Take the stone you hold to the Hellforge, where it will be destroyed. Now run! Take the stone and run!"

Have I been watching that cinematic too much or what?

Drat! Beat me to it!

I like the new wing design.

As far as the spikes go, I'm leaning towards what cheebalover said.

I think that the idea of heads or mouths is pointless at this point. the main thing is that this IS Diablo, what we expected in the first place (well, at least some of us did).

He is back...

Next thread: What the hell took him so long?

... why dont you just look at the home page of this website... instead of making a pointless thread.

Laziness, and I'm not a woman. I like quick facts, not a story involving other people or things that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I've been offline for about a month now. Can anyone give me a run down of any new news/developments with the game? I heard something about an Achievement System yesterday.
