Hoi and just today 'reads' about this, already having played the original with "Hellfire" expansion, along with "D-II" and its 'expansion', while I no longer 'get' any CD/Disc-Drives access of which to ever utilize them, once again. The best 'aspect' regarding "D-1" is how you would greatly increase their 'Magic'-abilities with adornment of 'Magically Propitious' items, so, where is A-N-Y "Yahoo 21 Boots"-skillz kind? For "D-2", I liked that 'Companion' of whom I usually retained the 1st since Her 'skills' would steadily increase, in the 'long run' and this allowed improved 'Arms'/'Armor' being given for her uses. Too bad they never use 'Jewelry' UNLESS it became 'infused'/'part-of' some 'socketed weaponry'/'Helms'/'Shields'-('moi' favored that as a "Tank"). I always would take smaller 'Gems' placed together into the 'Cube' and transform these as enlarged/biggest kinds, as 'moi' own 'favs' were "Knockback", "Freeze", "Life/Mana"-drains" abilities, as ofttimes you might put up to 3 of that into something! Them stupid "P.K."-mofos really screwed/skewered the 'Game' and for what?--'ears'?!? Why I never 'heard' of SUCH "pompouspompascityproclivityprocedurals", although 'Wert's Leg' often fielded/wielded a mean "Club" with 'socket(s)' at times, and have Y-O-U ever been "assaulted" by that 'Skeleton King'...in the 'Bocage Country'..whilst 'Negative Waves upon Waves' of 'Skeletons'.. descended onto the 'Scene' as well, man? "Clubs/Maces" will work better upon their sorry 'coccyx'/'bums' yet, the 'Staff' staves them OFF-PUTTING much, too. "Momma says to 'Knock-Back/Freeze/Sanguinize' yo, dag!"
