Inb4 - Yes I know it's a me problem. I'm not the target demo. I've just been a fan of the franchise since I read The Sin War as a kid.

I'll play through a Diablo once. As a necromancer. Exclusively as a necromancer.

Everyone I know is a gatcha addict. All they care about is ever growing numbers. Bigger damage. Filling paragon boards. Torment levels.

I just wanna play through the story content. Once.

I'd honestly love to see them try a different take on Diablo. It won't happen since Blizzard is all about live service games these days, but I'd love to see a single-player, traditional RPG version of Diablo. Imagine if Larian got the rights to make a Diablo game.

I was talking with a dude last night about what I termed a "Diablo themed Skyrim"

Imagine going through Sancturary during one of these hell uprisings in first person. Would be wild.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm kinda surprised that there hasn't already been a Skyrim mod that does exactly this.

That would be awesome. It’s funny to think how somewhat similar Diablo is to Skyrim except Diablo is bird’s eye view and Skyrim is 1st person.

Path of exile is like a spiritual successor to d2:lod. Can play solo only, but requires online connection. Huge amount of content and complexity.

Have yet to play it but Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous does have some similar themes. If you haven't looked at it already give it a glance.
