Here ya go...sorry, been Morrowinding as of late. I'll get back to D2 eventually, I promise! *laughs*
I've been debating as to how long I'm going to exile/take a break from D2. I doubt it will be permanent, as aside from Morrowind I've no great love for FPS games, but I'm not seeing an immediate return to D2 in my near future. Had I beaten the main quest about two weeks ago, that would've been a different story...
What Diablo has over Morrowind:
-distinct lack of 3D graphics (so I can play for longer than three hours without getting nausea, though this is getting better. Also cuts back on load time.
-simple, set quests, with nothing between you and completion but the baddies.
-lack of load-lag (unless one uses a slow computer)
-pure hack 'n slash fun!
-easy-to-use, quick leveling system based on experience points.
-simple character creation system (pick a class and go with it)
-lack of memory leak issues (which is enough to make me drop Morrowind for D2 again, unless they patch it. See next lineup.)
-Better, lag-free weather system (NO ASH STORMS!)
-ability to actually LOSE a character (Sounds strange, I know, but one of the benefits of playing HC is knowing just how much is on the line.)
-multiplayer option
What Morrowind has over Diablo:
-Two expansions (& patches for whatever bugs may come along)
-More quest options
-Larger environment (and you thought Act II was big?)
-More RPG-like gameplay (choose race AND class, birthsign, etc.; join guilds, do whatever...)
-cooler music
-ability to kill annoying NPC's (though you'll accrue a bounty each time you do, unless you get a writ of assassination from the assassin's guild...*evil grin*)
-no twinkability* (great for Purists!

)
-single player only (for those who prefer to play solo only)
Ehm...right. I'll just take my pomegranate juice and pop over to the corner and ponder what I'm going to do about Jadis. She needs mana, BADLY. Any other Cold Sorcs have any ideas as to how I can help her out? She's in Act II, I believe.
