Oh, don't worry - I can rant about Diablo just as much as I can about stupid puzzles, just watch me go...
But then again - I'd never classify Diablo as a CRPG to begin with which is why I don't often include it in my "rants"
Diablo is a blight on the RPG genrename and should never have been labled as such (but Blizzard wanted awards and where better then to release a game into a genre which didn't have much competition at the time).
It is pure 100% action much like shooter games except for the skillbased system.
Perhaps D2 is better, but the original Diablo helped kill the RPG genre in my view.
