And I do disagree . It's called ROLEPLAYING game for a reason . I don't really mind you likeing D2, just as little as I mind pepole likeing FPSes. What I DO mind is that pepole think that roleplaying games are games where you run around and kill monsters in order to gain levels and find cool items since that has nothing to do with roleplaying.
Actually, if taken word for word every game is a role-playing game. In each game you play out a role. In Diablo you play the role of the generic hero belonging to a certain class, that kills pretty much everything in his path, and follows a linear storyline. It all depends on perspective.
I understand why you do not like it when people associate/compare mind-less hack&slash games with serious/complex games such as ad&d ones. And I agree they cannot be compared with games like Baldur's Gate, but I personally don't mind. Those hack&slash games have their role to play(no joke intended), just like shooters(which I also enjoy playing once in a while), and I don't mind calling them role-playing games also. Again, my opinion.
