User:ENG/Diablo I Logs

On Thursday, 11-20-2008, I finally got the Diablo Battle Chest. After opening it, I decided that I really ought to defeat Diablo I as a Sorcerer. I have defeated Diablo as a Warrior at least once (or a few times; who knows how many) and as a Rogue numerous times. (I found some kind of trick to keep restarting the game with my character's skills, armor, and inventory intact, and I kept accumulating until I found out there WAS an upper limit to the Rogue's dexterity after all: Skill 250.)

However, when I tried my Sorcerer, I became discouraged by Dungeon Level 10. The monsters became too tough for him, and I moved on to Asheron's Call anyway. This was in early 2001, when I was 16.

Now that I have another opportunity to play Diablo I, I will defeat DIABLO as a sorcerer MANY TIMES AND FOR ALL!!!

Once I am finally done with the Sorcerer, I believe I will move on to its sequels.

Updates

 * November 30, 2008 - Diablo is defeated for the 2nd time by the Sorcerer. It still said "Number of Kills: 0" because I forgot to save AFTER the first kill. Now the next time I meet Diablo, it should say "Number of Kills: 1"


 * November 30, 2008 - I am now on my 3rd time through the game with the same sorcerer - Chilgot Socuna. I will give stats, items, etc. on him at the beginning of his 4th run.


 * December 4, 2008 - I have defeated Diablo for the 3rd time. Once I turn the game back on for the evening, I will reveal my Sorcerer's current stats and items.

December 10, 2008
I have reached 250 Magic, and beat Diablo for the 7th time! I am finally done with Diablo I!!!

When I attempted to install Diablo II, the Battlechest didn't have a "Play CD" so the CD Key was missing. I had to pay GameStop a visit with my receipt to have them give me the CD I was missing. (They took it out of another Diablo II box.)

I've now installed it and will see if the game gets less choppy and looks more cutting-edge with a patch.

And why isn't there an option to change the screen resolution setting??? Since Diablo I was made in 1996 (or 1997), I would let slide the fact that I couldn't increase the screen resolution for that game. I was hoping I could for II, but why can't I? Why would they omit such an obvious feature?
