Ah, Diablo 1. I remember when I was a kid and jumped online for the first time. The first thing that happened was that someone chucked me copies of each of the best pieces of gear in the game, then told me how to dupe items. This was after Diablo 2 had already been out for a while.

To be fair, it was pretty much like that shortly after release. The early days of Diablo 1 were an endless arms race to see who could have the latest/best hack (because otherwise people would just murder you instantly in town).

I'll be the bummer and say that copying Lizard Wizard is not a good idea, but seeing as that isn't his idea originally it doesn't really matter. Look forward to future updates havin less to do with MS paint.

Never go full Lizard Wizard.

so THAT'S what 'Where Avarice fails, patience gains rewards' gives you.

I did not have the internet when I played Diablo

Also Black Deaths and negative shrines >: (

Though there are also some super neat shrines.

I actually bought the strategy guide (one of the last paper ones I ever owned) just because it had a full list of items, shrines, and monsters. The Catacombs was the place where my warrior learned to love Firewall; it was so much fun dropping one on a doorway and then making the goatmen stand in it while they fought me.

Did all of the people who didn't understand the D1 tie-ins in D3 miss the giant number of books everywhere meant to narrate the backstory? Usually "you just have to read the datalog!!!" is a stupid argument, but if you for some arcane reason actually care about the horrible story of Diablo, then why don't you read it?

D2 also depends heavily on D1 in Act 1, and NPCs will happily explain to you what poo poo went down. It just doesn't matter because the name of the game is HERE THERE BE DEMONS KILL THEY rear end.

You don't even have to READ them; if you pick them up the game narrates them to you.
