When Diablo came out, there was some talk at the time that the Fantasy RPG genre was moribund, or had maybe just hit a bit of a creative wall. Diablo hit the ground running and became "the goods" or at the very least "the bee's knees" and in some cases "Da Bomb." In other words, it succeeded well beyong what many expected. It set a remarkable standard for combining game play simplicity, replayability, and easy to use graphical interface, including that marvelous innovation, the Lying Character Screen. :)
So, when is the next game going to arrive that makes a similar breakthrough, or is that sort of breakthrough simply to difficult to achieve?
I hope that Gaile's commentary here is predictive, and the 'magic' happens. :)
