<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> was way better in my opinion. It was like Diablo meets Morrowind, and that was the game of my dreams. This... seems too linear, and i REALLY hate the battlefields thing. My favorite part about <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> was just wandering around uncovering the entire world map, finding neat little things along the way. I sorely miss that among this neverending dungeon.
Oh, and word of advice: Stamina is lame. I could do without it.
