However, I still miss elements such as having to put down Undead Griswold in Diablo II. Which is OK with me since it was a close facsimile to the original game. The Darkening of Tristram essentially used the same graphics and layout as “Old Tristram” in Diablo III. Of course, these same similar buildings are also available in Diablo III anyway.

I don’t know how many of you remember the original Diablo, but anything that pays homage to something that cut my teeth for PC gaming had to be addressed.
