I'll agree with your Dungeon Siege vs IWD statement, even with your IWD vs Diablo statement, but not with your IWD vs Diablo2 statement. Have you actually
seen those cinematics in D2? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> To me, Blizzard has the best animations that I know. With the rumours of a Diablo movie, I could only hope it would be an animated one and they would do the animations (even though it's more likely to be more of live Hollywood movie).
I agree again with others saying that the original IWD had atmosphere and nice landscapes with fitting music (some of the better heard in games imho).
But see, IWD still lacks actual good gameplay, IWD2 lacks it even more. Yes it's all about combat, but combat still needs to be implented properly and well, it failed there. By the third time I was playing IWD (each time with months in between), I rushed to get past the first few areas, because they got so dull. Agreed, I did the same for Act1 in D2, but Act2, Act4&Act5 (the expansion) are acts I keep playing, pretty much like certain areas I like more in IWD than others.
Overall, it'd rank like this: Diablo2 > IWD > Diablo > Dungeon Siege&IWD2. That's for me personally of course. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
