I'm playing this one right now. I know it's just a Diablo II clone, and
it's got no depth, but I have to admit I find it very (mindlessly)
entertaining. There are (with the Underwold expansion) 8 characters to
choose from. I'm playing a vampiress, formerly evil,now one of the good
guys after biting a seraphim, thereby getting her soul back (note to self,
remember procedure for future use). She's SOOO happy about this, which is
reflected in the many comments she makes upon entering a new town, mostly
concering how she before, in her bloodlust, would have devastated the
town, but now she has no such interests. OK, they may get annoying, and
sometimes her comments are a bit out of reality (for instance when she,
after being resurrected, complains that the opponent who killed her wasn't
much of a challenge). Currently I find it cute.
The world is huge, lots to explore, lots of quests. Some of them quite
challenging, especially those where you escort persons through an area
filled with opponents - in addition to fighting you have to make sure that
they survive. May get repetitive, but this is the sort of game you can
stop playing for months and return to when you feel like it, without
loosing track.
Another thing, it's got lots of easter eggs.
MINOR SPOILER
I've been in a PACMAN cave.
The progress bar shown when loading games occasionally display other kinds
of messages, for instance: "Oh my God, they killed Kenny".
And tomb inscriptions. This one's particularly relevant: "Are dragons
tickly under their feet?"
