Even when everything got patched up, the real disappointment started - the game graphics. The first Act was drawn several years ago, so it looks like a bad joke, but things do get a bit better after that. The gameplay hasn't changed since the first Diablo. If this gets more popular we can soon expect mice with auto-fire feature. The huge terrains are both blessing and a curse because you'll get nowhere without the automap turned on, which actually covers everything else on screen.
Magic advancement is rather clumsy.
You can only choose a direction in which your character will advance, and usually end up with a bunch of useless skills. So, you'll have to play the game twice at least to get a character you really want. The much advertise feature of hiring NPCs to watch your back actually turned into hiring NPCs to watch their backs. Their AI is quite good, but they are usually low on power and seem too fragile, especially when compared to the beasts that can hardly wait to get a taste of them. The multiplayer mode is y next target.
