To buy or not to buy

Post by Revan »

I have been looking for a good online RPG game for my computer, i have been thinking of Diablo 2 but i just don't know how it is. The screen shots look good but how is the actual gameplay?

Diablo 2 is not really much of an RPG, it's more of an action game although you build characters of different classes and with different skills, and there is some rudimentary storyline which I have never payed attention to since it's totally uninteresting.

Basically, it's a fast shoot-em-up game and the fun lies in the many different types of character classes and subclasses you can build, and the many different types of monsters you have to fight. Another central aspect is item-finding, there are an almost endless number of items you can find, and even build yourself. It's a typical instant gratification game, and it's highly addictive. I suggest you try it out, it's quite cheap to buy now. D2 with the expansion packet Lord of Destruction is actually the only game I've ever played which has an endless replay value :)

Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply, i think i might go with NwN just because its different everytime. If its different everytime, does that mean i have to make a new char everytime or will my char be on the server after i log off?

nope your char is saved on the server and you can hence build really high level chars..... it's only the maps that change all the time not the characters.....
