oh no no no no no

poe is almost as bad as diablo 3 and calling both of them "bad" is one of the greatest understatements ever made

it would be like saying waiting in line at the DMV is inconvenient

both those games should just be permanently deleted


I feel both of these games are entirely different than D2, and it's like comparing apples to oranges. They're not the same. D2 is legendary and is/probably always will be my favorite game of all time, along with FF7.

What I liked about POE was the build diversity that D2 has rarely allowed for (at least until recently). I came late to the game and every time I've started play, I RIP too easily because I don't fully understand a lot of the mechanics.

What I liked about D3 was the challenge of Greater Rifts, especially at high tiers. I like the high risk/high reward of pushing yourself to a higher tier. What I didn't like is the frequency of drops that occurred. It was almost too easy to find good stuff.

that kind of says it all doesn't it? D3 is not a diablo game

anyway i'm thinking about trying out TES 2: Daggerfall (Unity version)

always really enjoyed Morrowind and of course Oblivion and Skyrim (though i prefer Morrowind of the 3) but never tried Daggerfall

anyone here play it before and have any tips or mods they recommend?

I guess the Unity version from the GOG store comes prepackaged with mods

Yeah I won't play a modded version of Diablo, never cared for median or w.e. if I'm gonna play d2 it'll be d2r.
Can't say on daggerfall, never heard of it etc, is it sp only?

Median isn't D2. That mod has gone so far off the rails, even when it was first introduced.

Project tries very hard to say super true to the original feel game. Like, even new zones stay true to the lore of D2 and they only use art assets that exist in the game already. You could honestly just play through without even looking up changes and enjoy the experience. It feels very natural.

D2R honestly feels like a bad attempt of trying to mimic Project without trying to be too obvious about it, but with a super shiny coat of graphics (those d2r graphics are really top notch); however, Project has the graphics upscaled to look cleaner. It isn't anywhere near as bad as the OG graphics. Honesty, some of the item graphics in D2R look...childish (lack of a better word)? D2R is missing so much even in terms of quality of life changes.

If you like D2...you really owe it to yourself to try out Project.
