When I come across the names of weapons and armors in other stories I immediately know what they are, what they look like and can imagine their potential damage.Sorry, but on the scale of accuracy there's a lot there that makes one think that an Iraqi Information Minister has found employment at Blizzard.
Acouple of examples:
- The Bearded Axe has a perfect graphic when you see it in your inventory, but none of the one's I've personally wielded, made or researched have been two handed axes. :lol:
- The inventory graphic for Plate Mail looks a lot like what byzantine lamellar is thought to have been. :huh:
. . . and on "damages and attack speed" . . . don't even go there. :lol:
Back on topic, D2 does have some benefits, not least of which is the incentive for mental excercise in problem solving, tactical thinking etc.
In my opinion at least.
