I liked playing the first Diablo back in the day, but there's no way that I could ever go back and play it again. The environments are too dark, there's no alt key to show loot, and the characters walk slower than molasses flowing uphill in January.

It was definitely an amazing game at the time, but the sequels really tightened up the mechanics.

Does D3 still force all of its plot on you?

D1 and D2 were amazing in that respect.

D2: Here is Mephisto, he did some terrible poo poo, you might have read about it, you may not have. Kill him!

D3: I am Maghda, I will kick your puppy! Then I will kill it! Look at me kick and kill your puppy! Now look at me kicking another puppy!

I have a feeling if you don't need to skip a couple dozens averagely voice-acted cutscenes anymore I might play it again.

You need to go through the plot exactly once. After that, you unlock adventurer mode where you can roam around and kill stuff for neat rewards and such. You also unlock rifts, which are randomly generated areas with randomly generated mishmashes of enemies with a big boss at the end. It's pretty fun.

They also significantly changed classes so that there are several different ways to play them, introduced items that fundamentally alter skills, and generally changed things up so that there's a lot of choice and a lot more stuff to do.
