I wouldn't knock Light Radius all that much. Back in the day, I played D2 exclusive through DirectDraw, which meant that you were still able to sight and track targets in the darkness of night and the indoors. I then quit the game in lieu of other diversions, one of which netted me a new graphics card.
Having been returned to Sanctuary through the grace of LoD, I am now playing the game first-up and full through with that card in place. With the combination of playing archer-type characters, the 800x600 resolution play field, and the pitch darkness and dynamic lighting of Direct3D rendering, there's one thing I've learned... It's dark out there, and I can't shoot sh#t in the gloom. Early on, my Assassin was dropping Shock Webs just to light her way through the Underground Passage on the way to spring Cain.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
