I just bought Neverwinter Nights and I am having great fun with it. Its a cross between Dungeon Siege and Baldur's Gate. The Dungeon Siege part is in how the camera works, which is nice. The Baldur's Gate part is that it uses the D&D rules. Now heres the interesting part... there is a module for Neverwinter that is a re-creation of the original Diablo ! How cool is that ?! So if you have Neverwinter, try looking for this file MechaIce1043911608188DiabloRemakeFullv11.rar . It is a rar file, winzip cant unpack it, but WINRAR (a better compression application ) can be found on the web too. it works just like winzip but better.
So anyway, back to the mod...there are some oddities. Most of the quests are triggered as soon as you start and Griswold already wants the magic rock and the anvil of fury. Pepin wants you to do the water supply quest and Ogden seems to have already completed the Leoric quest?! The cool part is that D&D 3rd ed. rules are in effect. I got thru most of church 1 before my Rogue ran out of healing pots and died. I suspect it would be much easier with a Fighter.
I always wondered what Classic Diablo would be like if it ran on D&D rules and now I get to find out. Varient players will love this.
BTW the mod creator used all the sound files from Diablo including the music and Farnham is still same old sot he always was...
Oomph-aak
