they should of made another hobbit book about gandalf and the necromancer
Yeah. I'd actually been waiting since I mentioned that for some hardcore LOTR fan to tell me there is at least a short story written by Tolkien about that campaign.
I've never played the first Diablo, but I love Diablo II - LoD!
Actually, I just owned Baal with Assasin and her flame"ocean"
Shit, it was easier than defeating Duriel.
If you have any good Sin stuff you can spare, let me know. I'm always trying to improve my Sin.
what about if you were evil fighting classes from previous games? d3 from what ive heard seems like it will have good and evil, so why couldnt you be evil and fight previous classes. so prehaps you would be evil fighting a good necromancer.
Believe me, I want that to be the case. The thought of playing a character aligned with the Prime Evils sounds like tons of fun.
Quote from "Equinox" »
I find it amusing that Diablo is the only game that found Necromancers good. Everywhere else, they are evil.
I remember in The Hobbit even when Galdalf has to leave for awhile to fight the evil Necromancer. And when he gets back, everyone is like, "So Galdalf, where did you go anyway?" And he's all, "Eh, just had to go fight the Necromancer." And I'm thinking...seriously? I've been reading about dwarves and slaying dragons when instead I could have gone with Gandalf and read about his Necromancer adventure? That would've have been way more interesting.
Well, if I were to make a bet, I would say not the Necromancer, due to their superior record of non-corruption. I'm going to assume the Barbarian returned safely to his homeland and helped rebuild Sescheron. The Paladin managed to escape corruption and went back to Kurast to rebuild the Zakarum church. The Sorceress turned evil cause she never really had any convictions besides fire, cold, and lightning. Seriously.
I reckon the Amazon also just went home and trained other Amazons. The Druid died of heartache cause of all the trees Baal destroyed and was reincarnated as a Thrasher. The Assassin killed Nihlathak then got called on a mission other than Baal. She's currently on assignment.
Charsi says blood raven fought the evil under tristram, the only rogue known to have done this is the one from d1.
someone in act 2 says something aboutthe summoner that leads you to believe it is the sorc from d1. i forget who it is and what they say, its been awhile
also d1 is 20 lvls, 1 - 16 + 4 bonus stages. posioned water supply, king leorics tomb, chamber of bone, arch bishop's lair.
21 if you count tristram as a stage, lol
It's actually pretty interesting they inferred any further roles for the Rogue and Sorcerer class for Diablo II. It makes you wonder if in Diablo 3 you'll be fighting some bosses that were of the seven classes from D2 gone awry.
nobody had better say that i'm not a true diablo fan considering this whole thread i've been singing the praises of the first game. as a matter of fact both siaynoq and i have been playing the first diablo since the thread was started so that we may reconnect with our roots, and if he is anything like me, he's been spending wayyyy too many hours at his computer playing it.
Indeed. When it first came out, I played it non-stop. Especially cause I was practicing my duping skills.
But you sir, are a true Diablo fan and let no one else tell you otherwise.
I stumbled upon it last night when I was looking for Hellfire screen shots.
It's pretty fascinating to see all the screens from the different Alpha versions. Each screenshot even has an in-depth analysis. It's funny how crappy things looked in the early stages of development.
Oh, I liked this one too. I know Smolsen will appreciate these as well.
seems like a beta version or like it says a pre release demo, as there are some unique items not pictured there, and some that are there arent in the final release of the game. same with the spells
Notice also that one of those items looks strikingly similar to an Assassin's Scissors Katar.
i have to dissagree with u there am 13 and i have played d1 and for crying out loud the game is so bad that after 2 min of playing it i went to google to look for a trainer... when i do tat its cuz the game sucks i played d1 for about 2 months after i got the trainer and i still cant stand it. it was only good like 10 years ago (it was probably the best) my point is people that are young usually start with newer games and eventually sometimes descide to go on to old ones and they say that it sucks (like me ;p) simply beacuase d2 is much better... especially the fact that its so hard to pick up anything on the floor in d1 cuz theres no alt button...
Well, ten years ago you were three. Um, most people who played D2 extensively before D1 usually cannot stand it. I can understand this actually because when you're used to being able to run and can use the alt button, it's hard to go to a game. And even though you played D1, I'm still convinced most younger people haven't played it.
And it's not like I honestly care that there are people playing D2 that haven't played D1. I'm just really glad I had the chance to play and enjoy them both cause they're both really great games.
I think there were mixed feelings about it. It was mostly well received by fans. For awhile, you could buy Diablo and Hellfire in their own battle chest.
So you see that sword on the far right end with the bones? I always thought that looked really cool. But do these look like actual items that were in Hellfire? I'm having a hard time finding some decent screens for it.
Sierra always made good products nonetheless. I never played the endless amounts of King's Quest and Space Quest, but I played some and they were always entertaining.
man. hellfire was great. i actually liked the monk. i liked how he fought better without weapons, and how the heavier his armor got, the lower his ac was. that was pretty awesome, because it seemed a little less broken than other characters.
Yeah, I've always wanted to play Hellfire. It remains the only Diablo game I haven't played, albeit I understand it wasn't made by Blizzard. I remember seeing screens for some of the new weapons and they had that sword that resembled a ribcage that I thought was really cool.
