All games are slightly differant than eachother. I dont like catagoriseing things becaus they are to rigid.>>
How can you say then, that this game is RPG and this is not ? If you wanna continue debating on this, you just have to have a definition of different genres in mind.

Dont really mention diablo 2, as i said that game is only of value if you where a big fan of diablo 1... or if you are the simple sort who just like killing things=P >>>>
Simple sort of ? huh, ok If you are trying to say that there as some intellectual difference between D1/D2 and DD? Tell what is it intellectual in DD that is absent in D1/D2? All those quests you say? Yes, lots of quests in DD, but if you start looking at them - go there, bring here, find that little cave and that little book, talk to him and then to her and then go there.... What you had to do is just carefully study your map and journal, not to miss things.
But actually you haven't had any difficult intellectual/ psychological / ethical dilemmas as there were in PST for example.
Everything was more or less easy and predefined and scripted. So basically I don't see much difference in quests between D1/D2 and DD.
Diablo combat system was much more difficult then in DD. So, you had to make decisions, how to ballance well, how to choose skills, what weapons and armor to keep. Can't compare this to DD. I had difficulties in the beginning only, after entering Iona dungeon, thats all. I was a God in wastelands killing ordinary mobs in 1-2 hits (without +to frost modifier, I didn't take it intentionally)


basicly what im trying to say is, diablo is a quest with side quests, divinity is a game with a whole lot of quests with side quests. And really, if you could just play one of the quests in divinity, i would see it as nothing more than what diablo was.>>>

Again, Diablo is great game, which is more focused on combat, on making your char better and stronger warrior.
DD is more focused on solving quests.

Quality of both games is high. So, it is up to you and you taste, to play one, or another, or both. So, stop blaming here.
