The more streamlined talent system in D3 is aimed at speeding up character choices, reduces systems that don’t add choices, and makes respecialization much, much easier. For example, rather than use a bunch of scrolls that you’ll eventually need to store in a tome, the ability to simply Town Portal, or the ease of Identifying items in Diablo 3 instead of using scrolls for that, is a reaction to the way it worked in Diablo 2.
Many elements of Diablo 3 were designed in reaction to Diablo 2‘s systems. Gameplay variations between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 So if your touchstone is Diablo 3, a major difference you’ll notice when you play Diablo 2: Resurrected is that the story of Diablo 2 - which informs a lot of your frame of reference when Diablo 3 opens - has not happened yet. Twenty years later, and the trip to the remains of Arreat - the Arreat Crater - is literally a journey into the aftermath of Baal and Tyrael’s actions at the end of Lord of Destruction. That 20 years was also enough time for the government of Kehjistan to move to Kaldeum after the revelation of the corruption of the Zakarum faith and the loss of Kurast. In the time that passed between the two games, the survivors of Tristram to have built a new town away from the ruins of the original township. As I mentioned earlier, D3 is over 20 years later.
Indeed, one of the biggest differences between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 is the fact that Diablo 3 is entirely contingent on the events of the prior game and its expansion pack, Lord of Destruction. Locations like Tristram and Kehjistan and the Barbarian lands are seen more than once in the series, although often changed by the passage of time. The Barbarian and Necromancer classes are in both games, the world is the same place, just at different points in time - Diablo 2 is two decades before Diablo 3. There are certain elements that repeat between games.
Similarities and differences between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3īoth games are part of the same series - D3 is the sequel to D2, after all. You just need to accept that the games are not the same. Yes, the two games are significantly different, but those differences won’t prevent you from playing Diablo 2: Resurrected at all. Town Portal is a consumable scroll? So is Identify? You can socket skulls into your gear? What is even happening? If your first Diablo game was Diablo 3 - and considering that Diablo 2 originally came out in 2000, that’s entirely possible - you may have felt somewhat confused when you first logged into Diablo 2: Resurrected.
