As for magical items, I find it fun combining all of them and achieving different synergies with different classes. Even though not all of them are on par with others, I like using them and hunting them down. It makes characters less monotone in terms of builds.
Agreed.
I haven't played D&D in a long time - but I like that video games add flare to items like this. Some people who are more D&D purists may not like it - but I think it adds a lot to the game. Again, so long as it is within reason.
