Hi SiegeHead,
I'll add one thing: please use paragraphs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I have to say that in order, I'd go:
- Divine Divinity
- Diablo 1
- Diablo 2
- Dungeon Siege
Divine Divinity's story and quests wins it first place.
Diablo 1 wins of the the others because I prefer the maps in it. I like having sectioned maps instead of wide open spaces. There's a better feel to the combat when you feel like your making progress rather than having to seek progress.
Diablo 2 combat system is the best I've seen. The use of mana is excellent. And the amount of balancing that has been implemented is very welcome.
Dungeon Seige has an amazing graphics and world engine. Pity about the story and combat.
