Also at Tech TV, also with a final rating of 4/5, you can find a review of Diablo 2 - Lord of Destruction. This is what they write about the improvements in the addon:
The new item-generation engine is intricate. It supplies hundreds of various item attributes that can be combined into magical items. This creates an almost endless combination of items that can change the skills and attributes of your characters dramatically. This addition alone makes "Diablo II" worth playing through multiple times on even the highest difficulty. The new unique and set items make the ones from "Diablo II" pale in comparison and make trading on Battle.net a whole new ballgame.
The expansion offers the new ability to create new items yourself using gems, runes, items, and the Horodric cube. You can craft items from magical items by putting them in the Horodric cube with various combinations of gems and runes to craft a new version of the magical item with many new attributes.
As if that weren't cool enough, Blizzard also threw in "rune words," which are a collection of runes placed into a socketed item, which creates items of unbelievable power with many attributes. One final new item type is the charm, items that just sit in your backpack and give you many extra attributes without having to be equipped. You must decide whether to use them for their abilities or have more space in your inventory to collect more items. |
