If you want an enhanced d2 experience, i'd go for Sacred: Underworld
I believe the only flaw in that game is the fact that you lose your survival bonus when dying (including PvP) and that theres barely anyone left online considering everyone is playing Sacred 2 which I happen not to like as much.
There are original characters, big map, many main quests, 250+ side quests, lots of places not quest related that you can explore, original monsters, etc.
REALLY worth a shot.
Of course, dungeon Siege II is gg as well
