Well it may be truth he is op (later in the game when he gets mana shield and ton of mana and offensive spells).
But I still have more fun playing melee classes so since i lost all my saves when I changed hard drives (dang:P) i play barb, have ton of fun, and when I get some mana steal items I will create a warior and go from there.

I can't imagine playing this game in low res, without alt to show items on the floor, without few badass quests this mod added and class abilities for warrior and others, and without trade stash so my mage can find items for my wariors but they can find some books for him.

I find it a bit funny that you say you prefer Diablo 1 over 2, but cannot play it without a mod that makes it so similar to Diablo 2 in many ways, down to the added quests. But as I said, it remains Diablo 1 in essence, so I get why you might say that.

Very true that the Sorc is very OP with the right spells and mana shield. I remember using guardian the 3 headed hydra thing that shoots fire balls and it was very effective.

The run button makes a big diference. So, in my opinion, it's better wih Hellfire.

Simply ading few improvements and quests doesnt make this game like diablo 2. I was bored with diablo 2 and I was never bored with diablo 1 (well unless i spent countles hours them in short time span).
HD mod doesnt male it so D1 pretends to be D2. Its still D1 with same climate, but better gameplay and a litle more complexity. Thats it. No other Diablo game had or will have same atmosphere as this one had. Just U and dungeons full of monsters to slay. I know most people think D2 is the best but for me it goes D1>D3>D2 and hopefully D4 will land on second place there.
But one important thing - I was always playing Diablo as solo game. I did try D3 with friends few times, or D2 via lan or battlenet but it wasnt as fun for me as for many other people probably. And as single player experience D1 was alvays my favourite part of the trilogy, even more so with belzebub because I have chest for my spare loot I can use to trade stuff with my alts (trading with alts in D2 was a nightmare and I needed at least 2 computers to pull it off and a lot of unnececary trouble)

You liked D3? *Brofist*

I also love D3 to some extent. It plays like a diablo game and has the lore/good cutscenes/differences between classes in terms of dialog & such/etc....to me it is pretty decent fwiw, and I never got all the hate people gave to it after SP came along on console versions.

If the only positive you can extract from it is the run button, that says a lot.

The only way to play Diablo in HD with least amount of changes is via The Hell 1 HD (modern resolution, 60FPS, gold autopickup, windowed mode) but it was removed from the Internet.
They say "you can find everything on Internet, nothing gets missing" then good luck finding that mod.... I asked TH creator and he was like "yeah nah, go grab TH2 instead" which wasn't the point but whatever.
Feels like holding Holy Graal on my HDD :]

Thank You

What’s the difference between that file and the one on kiddo? Except being an earlier version perhaps?

This goes back to the OP talking about a “HD” mod, is that something different to The Hell?

[i]The Hell 1 HD mod is a remake of classic The Hell mod on a new engine (TH2 engine). Made by Desert Dragon.
This allows playing on new operating systems, playing in high resolutions and with higher framerates.[/i]
also include features like - running in dungeons, autopickup for gold and you can hold LMB to attack (original Diablo don't have that feature).

The Hell HD is just a The Hell 1 with graphic improvements and way less gameplay changes than, for example, Belzebub or The Hell 2 so if you want to play Diablo with technical improvements and as little gameplay changes as possible - TH1 HD is the best option.

With d2 there tools and mods out there that allows you transfer items over for single player characters but you need older versions of d2 in order for the mods to work not sure about the item transfer tool. Plus massive storage space. I do like the d1 belzebub mod though because it adds so many things to the game which improves the game so much.
The only thing that I liked about d3 is that the devs treated D3 like WOW in a sense that no matter how long you take a break from the game your account with characters will remain until the Blizzard decides that the accounts created fro d3 go away.

Ah ok. Strange I never heard of that one. Not on the main mod sites from what I can tell. Thanks for the link then.
