Kult or Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition was good. I don't like real-time hack&slash anymore, but hoping for this.

I see this more like Everquest vs. World of Warcraft.

World of Warcraft was the most successful "classic" fantasy MMORPG - but I would still prefer Everquest over WoW any day of the week. Same goes for Diablo. I enjoyed the series but I still prefer Baldur's Gate over Diablo - especially because it allowed multiple characters. Shadows appears to go in the same direction

And I prefer cheese to chalk - especially because it tastes better. Come on Comet, comparing BG to Diablo? Are you serious?

Yeah, that got my attention too. Maybe comparing Diablo to Divine Divinity is a better example? Although I never played the latter, so maybe I'm way off.

It was a comparison of isometric games. Since this one appears to have a group component, it might be the missin link between something like Diablo and Baldur's Gate.

Come on guys, I didn't compar Diablo to Battlefield

Ok Comet, we just had a bit of misunderstanding
