Ok, guess I can relate to that. There was something cool about getting a new book drop in D1 as it meant a new skill. So from your viewpoint, the runes are a good? I mean, they do pretty much what you say, a discrete new skill which comes directly from monster-loot?

For me personally the XP-or-loot thing doesn't change much. The core (or end result I guess) is still the same: you slay monster and you get better skills. The books that dropped (or the ones you could read) depended on your skill level, so you still had to level up to get new skills, the feel of the 2 games wasn't that different.

The biggest change for me (and also the reason why I liked D1 more than D2, or at least at first), was the ease of making a char and starting an adventure. I like perfection in my characters. This meant I couldn't start a char and just start wailing, as I needed to know how much strength and dex I needed, or which skills I would've liked to use. For me this new D3 builds looks pretty good.


When this art controversy first started (like what, 3-4 years ago?), a lot of people seemed to think the actual colors were the problem. They went so far as to suggest a red filter be used. The whole indy-atmosphere thing came later
Honestly, D2 screwed up D1's atmosphere already. And I liked still D2.

Also, I feel it's hard to convey a sense of feeling and atmosphere from a screenshot. A character with a tiny light radius might look nice in a screenshot, but it would suck as a game. I'm going to wait for the game to be released before bashing the atmosphere.

Of course any changes that deviate from the 'classic' game are going to be met with criticism from the hardcore fans. It happens in every single popular game every single time there is a sequel.

As much as people want the same old game repackaged, that's not how things work.

That would be nice if they changed things for the better. These days taking away and simplifying features= THE HOT NEW SHIT YOU SHOULD LOVE THIS for devs.
