I'm not sure if anyone has already tried doing this, but I thought it would be worth mentioning. I believe someone made a mod where you played monsters instead of characters, and I would be interested in playing one that took that idea further.
Instead of playing the characters, you could play Baal, Diablo, Mephisto, Duriel, and Andariel. Perhaps for comic relief, you could play Bishibosh, Dac Farren, or some other widely-recognized Super Unique.
Baal could be considered a hybrid char, whereas Diablo would be more melee and Mephisto would be more of a spellcaster. Andariel has poison, and... well, mace nipples. That's workable.
One would have to alter NPC text for quests and probably take out the voices entirely and rename quests, but you would go throughout the game killing monsters that are actually characters you play in the regular game.
For example, in Act 1, one would do battle with weak Bowazons and Bash Barbs, and even Ice/Fire Bolt Sorceresses.
Act 2 could have a variety of characters, but they could, for example, have powerful varieties of necromancers in the tombs.
Act 3 could have assassins, perhaps with Natalya as a nasty Super Unique. Paladins could inhabit all the Kurast/Durance areas.
Act 4 could be a miscellany of all the characters, with the introduction of Angels. A prolonged brawl with Hadriel, anyone?
Act 5 could have a large mass of Barbs and Druids. The Bloody Foothills could have NPC enslaved helping you :rolleyes: . Tyrael could be waiting for you in the Worldstone Chamber :o .
The most fun would be in fighting legions of Multizons, Werewolves, Werebears, Faded Sassies, Whirlers, Frenzybarbs, Singing Barbs, Meteor Sorceresses, etc. It would be a great outlet for people that like PKing or those that are curious but not evil (cough, I mean, not PKers) or for the passive agressive types, like me, who have always wanted to round up a bunch of Javazons and pound them to death for no good reason.
Thanks for your time. :D
