Thanks, Bolty and Roland. I have the new rig, and got to play with my son for a bit Wednesday night. We went a bit "go go!" in Act III, which I had just started with my lady wiz. I did the first few quests solo, and found immense fun in so doing. Visually and blow things up goodness abounded for me. The second half of the act, wherein we descend into the depths of Arreat, I didn't get to appreciate as much, thanks to how fast my son likes to play and how we had to kill Asmodan in enough time to get my tired old backside into bed to arise at 0500 to get to work.
But YAY! Fun. The look I really enjoyed. I am beginning to appreciate the decisions Blizz had to make in terms of "darkness" of the visuals. A fine line to walk. I am now in act 4 and had to mess with the skill choices a bit to get a satisfactory result in the vestibule.
This game is pure fun. I am grateful that I did not get into the beta, the 'discovery' part is still nice. I just don't get enough time to play. Too bad, RL is what it is. At the moment, the messing about, messing up, and switching between various skills is a hoot. Once I've run each class through Normal, I'll probably take a break, and decide which one I want to take through NM.
My son wants me to progress more in Starcraft II, since I just started that a few weeks ago, and Mass Effect I. I have to budget my gaming time, so Jimmy Raynor will have to drink a few more in the Cantina before I get back to him.
For all those burned out on D III, I envy you the amount of time you got to play that I didn't.
Kwitcherbitchen. Fun is where you find it.
