I like it (standard game) because it's complete. Hellfire just didn't feel right as part of the game, almost like someone tried to graft apples to an orange tree. While the additional spells were kind of nice, the graphics for the hive section are awful where visibility is concerned, and the addition of even more fire and run monsters had me spouting more colorful metaphors than usual while playing my warrior. All in all, the good portions of Hellfire were outweighed by the rather annoying bad portions, to the extent that I finally got rid of it altogether. (The lack of further patches from Sierra made this decision even easier.)
Yes, the standard game is playable, just like most other bug-infested games out there, but I get tired of seeing inaccurate/incorrect/missing spell information and other such bugs in the game, so that's why I expressed my thought in the previous post.
Multiplayer was nice while it lasted, but singleplayer will always be my favorite part of games.
I'll just keep plugging along with my 1.09 unmodded D1. At least until I find the time to learn how to mod it myself. That seems to be the only way I ever get what I want for my favorite games.
