I liked Diablo when it came out, but it also bored me. It had its unique features that made it fun, but I preferred games like Baldur's Gate instead. Dungeon crawls never really interest me. I like doing quests and interacting with NPCs and exploring cities.

I didn't enjoy D2 that much because of it's music that managed to pass by without being noticed, its stupid save and quit system and the respawning of the enemies.
But that doesn't mean that I didn't like D2 at all! Playing it with a few friends was really enjoyable...
The soundtrack of its addon though was extremely good (especially Fortress).

Hellfire was decent, but I really thought it was a defective and unfinished product overall. You had to start new characters to play it, and there was no no multiplayer on b.net.

The monk class wasn't particularly exciting either.

Compared to vanilla Diablo I never got much out of it overall.

Never completely warmed up to D2 either, but it has its moments. I prefer to play it with HC characters only, because it then captures a lot of the tension that D1 had. I still backup my character though (I'm not completely insane). However, there's a lot of incentive not to die.

I never really played diablo 1 but I always watched my brother play it and I watched it all the way to the end until he kill the huge diablo was a nice game but I think "The Lionheart : Legacy of the Crusader" was much better.

For everyone who said they didn't enjoy Diablo II: did you play it online? This WAS a multiplayer game. Single Player was never the main aspect of it. I first played SP as well and thought it was so so. It's only when you take trading and collecting into account, mule accounts, cow levels, etc. that the game really starts to shine.

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True. I once tried D2 when I didn't have internet, and I tought it's boring, it's long, it's repetitive. But my first co-operative gameplay experience was provided by D2. Just imagine: we were sitting miles away with my friend from each other, but still could hear each other, and we didn't have to stand up to let the other play... yeah, netplay has it's magic. And the first day someone gave 20000 gold to each of us!

Diablo 1 is a classic. My fave was the warrior. With the skill shrines you could still get your spell levels up a bit, and armed with a King's sword of vampires you could make good use of teleport, stone curse and chain lightning.

Diablo 2 was good but couldn't match the atmosphere of the first. It also ruined Diablo 1 for me, just could never get back to no running in the first game.

I still play Diablo 1 Hellfire until today.
With patches and patchfixes you can play up to v1.02 multiplayer with Warrior, Rogue, Sorcerer, Barbarian or Bard.
As far as I know, there are still a few private servers up for that game
(Only with hardcore mods)
Last year even Diablo1 bnet servers were online, dunno if they still are.

My favorite is the sorcerer, doesn't need much equipment (because he simply can't wear it) and Mana Shield turns him into a tank!
So if noone wants to play with you at the moment, a solo run is no problem with the sorcerer
Though, it's a shame there was no magic amplifier like Kings Staff with 150% extra magic damage or something.

That game is just great
