acts in Diablo II and LoD

The monsters in act three used to drive me nuts to the utmost degree, until I leveled a spear barb there back in the day.  Since then I've played a lot of act three, and really loved it.  The sewers and Doc Indigu are crafted well enough to genuinely make me dred the trip.  And seeing the progression from flayer, through the three kurasts, leading finally to Travinical shows (in my mind) the greatest progression in level design out of the acts.

Overall, and play wise I'd have to say I love act2 the most, but as far as pure level design goes? Act three takes the cake for me.

As for my favorite town?  Act 4!  I remember seeing the act towns expand from act1 to 3.  And when I finally killed mephisto for the first time, I was ready to be blown away by the mammoth size of act 4.  Ha, I was delt a surprise, but for me it was an enjoyable one.  I've always had an affinity towards clean cut and small designs.  I loved the characters of Halbu and Jamella.  It was as if you had ascended to something supremely greater, no longer just a lowly traveler.  Not to mention on my first trip to hell act 4 I met Sam, who introduced me to a lovely forum called the 'Lurkerlounge'

And you guys have been stuck with me ever since! :P

The way it gets more citylike is pretty cool. I like the way the jungles twist and turn in the "looks good" way because it seems more natural than just squares of terrain, although hell and arreat do a good job at seeming naturally the way they are too.

Act 3 is also good because the fighting area are all small, so I spend more time fighting, less time runnung from place to place.
