Hi. What do people think are the best alternatives to DS. Personally i
like Diablo LOD but its getting quite old as ive completed in on all levels.

Discuss.

May I recomend Nevewinter nights... it has a similar graphics engine (if not the
same as DS) <with the full 360 deg camera rotation>.

nwns is most definatly recomended for those familar with Dungeons and dragons as
it uses the 3rd generation rules from dnd.

0------------------------------0---------------------------

Diablo 2:

Graphics: 7/10

out of date since Dungeon Siege came out but good for the time the
game was
released

Game play: 8/10

Story is good but can get boring if played too much

Characters: 8/10

nice variety of character classes only 7 to pick from though

Average Mark: 8/10

Dungeon Siege:

Graphics: 9/10

nice graphics good engine (like the 360 deg rotate view)

Game play: 7/10

Does follow a story but can easily be side tracked

Characters: 6/10

two options male/female not a great selection there

Average Mark: 7/10

Neverwinter Nights

Graphics: 8/10

appears to be similar to the dungeon siege graphics but not quite
as sharp

Game play: 9/10

Has quite a good story to it. Enemy even dodge your attacks

Characters: 9/10

Wow talk about choice, you can pick your race even your characters
portrait.
However can be a bit complex for those not that familiar with the
world Dungeon
and Dragons

Average Mark 9/10
