I don't understand this. If you liked DII enough to play it that much, why wouldn't you want to play a game that shares the same design philosophy? I don't know if you watched the gameplay video, but I can assure you that Hellgate will not be DII v.2. It looks nothing like it, other than the RPG aspects.
To me, Hellgate looks more like Deus Ex on speed. And considering how good Deus Ex was, that's definitely a good thing.
I am a bit worried about the usage of weapons as "spell delivery devices". Call it what you want, but a gun is still a gun. Outside of a very few titles, I am not the biggest fan of pure FPS games. I dearly hope that Hellgate is more "action RPG" and less "FPS with RPG elements".
