Sure, D2 has some of the best keyboard layouts and chat commands around making it highly enjoyable, but it was always lacking in story, and the dark edginess of D1 was totally lost when the first half of Blizzard North left to form the Guild Wars franchise. IMO, D2 was saved by the playability, but its story totally sucked.
But to call Path of Exile the D2 2.5? I reserve that title for Sacred, sorry. I suppose this would be a 2.75 then. D3 looks more wow-ish. I was thinking of skipping D3 altogether because they lost the "feeling" of what Diablo should be. Perhaps Path of Exile is a good replacement?
D2 was one of the best and definately most addicting games ever. And if you're talking story, it had more story that D1, although that does not say much.
As far as Sacred. I thought it blew chunks.
See, to each their own.
Oh and lastly, D3 looks real good, but if you want to skip it, that's just one less person clogging up the servvers, so be must guest
