I recently posted to patientgamers@lemmy.ml and cross-posted to patientgamers@sh.itjust.works regarding my newb difficulties with Diablo 1 and both of these communities had awesome people willing to help out and offer any advice they could give.

Original Post

As it stands, I have conquered Diablo 1. My solo Warrior class playthrough was — in the end — a resounding success. I bent the Lord of Terror over my knee, spanked his ass with my Bastard Sword, and smote his ruin upon the basement of Hell; thus fulfilling a long overdue, 26-year-old personal bucket list item.

I know the game has a ton a replay value and I’m sure I’ll revisit it again in the future, but for now, I can’t wait to begin Diablo 2!

Thanks again!

    Project Diablo 2 is a pretty vanilla version of Diablo 2 LoD. Yes, it rebalances.skills and items, and adds corruptions and endgame maps, but there’s no new skills. For a complete overhaul, you want MedianXL.

    That said, I’d still forego both and go with D2R. Modding is coming along, finally. After a regular playthrough or eighteen (6 classes × 3 difficulties), give Diablo 2 ReModded a try.
