Set shortly after the events of Diablo, the player controls a new hero, attempting to stop the destruction unleashed by Diablo's return. The game was developed over a three-year period, with a crunch time of a year and a half. The producers were Matthew Householder and Bill Roper.

The game, with its dark fantasy and horror themes, was conceptualized and designed by David Brevik and Erich Schaefer, who, with Max Schaefer, acted as project leads on the game. For RTS games, I can see using a mouse or keyboard, but for anything else, I'd rather use a controller.Diablo II is an action role-playing hack-and-slash video game developed by Blizzard North and published by Blizzard Entertainment in 2000 for Microsoft Windows, Classic Mac OS, and macOS. I dunno, I thought the control on the PS2 port of Baldur's Gate was perfect. Obviously it plays a lot better with keyboard and mouse since you can use a variety of actions quickly with the keyboard, and click accurately where you want to go / what you want to interact with, with the mouse.īaldur's Gate must also play a lot better on PC for the same reasons btw. You do a bit of trading and talking with NPCs (good voiceovers), and the rest is hack & slash : if you're a warrior it's going to be click click click da monster to hit it, use the keyboard to take a potion when low on health, and sometimes use some spell. You click an object and your character interacts with it (NPC => talk, item => take, shrine => use, monster => attack). Here's how it plays : you click somewhere and your character moves there.
