I realize now after writing this and you respondinng to it that I guess I posed two questions which was actually a comparison between all the work done now on The Fallen app, vs Sacred 2 AND Diablo 2. 'A Diablo remake mod? I should at least check it out.'įirst, thanks for sharing in such detail and passion your thoughts as to the beginnings of this patch and where it sprung from and pays such serious homage too. And of course, I chose it because the name is attractive. In a way, I just chose Diablo 2 because I thought it would be much easier to make a new spell mod using a template rather than just making it up out of whole cloth. Neverwinter Nights, Titan Quest, Grim Dawn, and Starcraft 2 all have Diablo mods. People try to recapture Diablo 1 or 2 all the time through mods. Mythical almost, since it's tied to that period of my life which seems packed full of tumultuous events not really connected to gaming at all but still melded together with the game in my memory. Is Diablo 2 Fallen better than Diablo 2 itself? I can't speak such blasphemy. The idea that players themselves could build on the game, tweaking, adding, changing, transforming. 'He's gonna get me if I don't do something!' -Bash- Zombie on the ground.Įxciting. The game was essentially forced on me by my college roommate who bought me the 'Battle Chest' (Diablo 1, 2 + expansion) for my birthday. I had never played PC games beyond Solitaire, and my most recent console was a dusty old PS1 that hadn't been played in three years.ĭiablo 2 changed all that.

2002 was a time when I was fairly certain I had 'outgrown' video games altogether. In that respect, I would say yes, D2F is better than the base game.Īs for Diablo 2 itself, I can't overstate the impact this game had on me.

Is the mod better than vanilla Sacred 2? In many ways Diablo 2 Fallen is an extension of the Community Patch, (which I praise to the heavens), and by that I mean my mod fixes and restores a lot of content that 'should' or at least 'could' have been in Sacred 2 when players first plucked the game off the shelves all those years ago. Now that some mod authors have had decades to develop them they have taken on a life of their own. The mods for Diablo 2 were impressive even back when the game was new.
