This is an example of how two people can differ in their opions so much. I
thought War 2 was an enjoyable game for a month or two but that was about
it. Diablo seems to have no end in sight for me yet. I'm still enjoying
playing my first character immensely and look forward to playing the other
two classes and then the single player game just to see the quests. Then
some friends and I are going to start a game with fresh characters and see
if we can go through the dungeon just once and beat Diablo. By the time all
this is through I may be a little tired of it, but I hope an add-on will be
imminient.
