Diablo fans must own [Posted on 2004-04-30]
If you are a hard line Diablo fan, you must get this expansion otherwize your collection would be incomplete. I dont even have to play the game to enjoy it, just knowing I can play it anytime I want is good enough.

Great expansion for a great game. [Posted on 2006-03-06]
The story line is about what happens after level 16. Even though the game is quite more challenging, it really adds more adventure after an already great classical. The new weapons are awesome, with more magics and portions that really perfect the original.

A Bust as big as they come [Posted on 2006-07-25]
This has to be one of the worst expansion pack's to one of the greatest games of all time. How do I know, because neither Blizzard or Sierra ever mention the expansion pack on their website--a means to distance themselves away from it.

For example the graphics on the hive level for some of the monsters are absolutely terrible. You have small toad/pumpkin like creatures that attack you WTF? Large Spiders? It doesn't fit the Gothic essence of the game. Not to mention Diablo can again be easily killed, so easy that you don't have to do it, just summon a golem-the same can be said about Nal'krul. The new spells are not attractive either, you have spells that help you search (umm okay), you have spells that you can summon to take you back to the entrance (how is that suppose to help), and such spells as "beserk" only work for the barbarian, which can only found by hacking the command file.

Secondly lester the farmer is a joke...beyond retarded...In order to get to the Cow Quest, or unlock the barbarian (looks exactly like the warrior) you have to hack the command file. And by updating from 1.00 to 1.01 you loose the ability to play multi-player. And I don't understand the point in creating the monk--his best skill is hand to hand combat with the staff....a degenerate version of the Sorcerer.

And the promise of great items, such the King's Swords and the Godly plates are extremely hard to find. Unfortunately to get them you have to use a trainer. I can't believe that the expansion pack now runs for almost $50, what a rip! If I had a thousand I'd sell it all for free.

Just bought the Battlechest? Here's your missing piece. [Posted on 2007-07-01]
You'll have to create a COMMAND.TXT folder & place "multitest cowquest theoquest bardtest barbariantest" to unlock some of this stuff. The Monk can either bee seen as some kind of Joke OR the most challanging character to play. The Bard & Barbarian are improved versions of the Rogue & Warrior in that they can wield two 2-handed weapons at a time. The cowquest is funny. Not having played Diablo without the expansion, I can't say what else is new, but I DO like that this game has the SAVE ANYWHERE feature than many games after it neglected. There are an aweful lot of different dungeon maps, so I suppose some were added, as well as armor, weapons, monsters, extra difficulty. On the negative side, it didn't add better voice acting.....

Hellfire Patch Won't Work on 64-bit OS [Posted on 2007-09-17]
The 1.01 Hellfire patch, which is difficult to find but IS located on Sierra's FTP server, is a 16-bit executable. It will NOT work on 64 bit operating systems.
