[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 372266, member: 1015"] D&D is not as much about "stuff" as Diablo is. In Diablo, ALL values stack. D&D has various rules regarding which bonuses stack and which don't. In D&D, a character with powerful items can indeed be very powerful, but in Diablo, a character with the right combination of items can be virtually invincible. That being said, Diablo is still a fantastic game. It isn't popular because it's "dumbed down" or "mass marketed", it's popular because it's simple, addictive, well-designed, and appeals to both hardcore and casual video game players. As for Silverthorne, this guy is a troll if I've ever seen one. Think about it; he comes to a forum dedicated to D20 and D&D and starts talking about how it's "low-brow" and appeals only to dummies, basically insulting most everyone here. Does anybody remember the thread about RPG snobs a while back? Well, this is exactly what that thread was all about. [/QUOTE]
