Andrew Leonard claims that Diablo II is a runway show run amok. The developers may claim this is a role-playing game where a champion lays waste to legions of hell-spawn monsters, but with so many accessories to choose from such as “the emerald-chipped helm of light” , “the crimson sash of life”, “the heavy boots of the Jaguar” or “the silver ring of the leech” who cares about killing demons?

You can read the original article here , but beware! Andrews directs his scorn at players who could only think whether yielding a scepter of sacrifice provides a significant bonus to an attack rating  without ever considering if it looks good with all those artic furs your barbarian is wearing! And do the “bright gloves of dexterity” clash with the “hard burgundy leather armour of triumph”? I bet you didn’t consider that!
