It seems minor, but any experienced campaigner has experienced the agony of throwing perfectly good jewels and helms away. My favorite so far has been the increased character stash - it's twice the old size, enabling you to stash a lot more items than you used to. There are around 20 or so additions - ranging from the 'Repair All' button at the smithies to new Horadric Cube recipies - but I'll concentrate on the big four: the new stash, weapons swapping, hirelings, and new items. So, as a fan and a critic, I have to say the Lord of Destruction is really good - Blizzard really revised, tweaked, and added features that will make it a 'must buy' for any fan, but there are some serious caveats (actually, only one big one) that you need to be aware of before diving straight in.Ībout 80% of the improvements are gameplay oriented, and all of them are good. So this time around to spare Dan the hatemail, the EIC asked a guy who actually liked Diablo II to review the expansion pack. One of the more hostile moments in IGN PC's history has been Dan Adams's review of Diablo II - primarily because he's the sort of guy that believes that games should regularly use more than one mouse button.
