How did Diablo with more than 1 character not take off?

Do you mean they should still be making sequels of them to this day? Not every franchise/IP needs to last forever. It got two sequels.

Dude, he's asking about party size in arpg's. Is reading really so difficult?

>>12500190
Play it yourself, then play Diablo yourself, and you'll realize why the former does not ``````````mog''''''''''

They are entirely different games. Diablo 1 is slow, methodical, and spooky. But I assume you mean Diablo 2 which while being one of the best games ever made is mostly just a slot machine.
Dungeon Siege (only speaking for 1 never played the others) is a straight up adventure, like it barely feels like any other ARPG because the drops, levels, and most of the monsters aren't really the focus. The game gets closer to an RTS where you are managing a squad, the only other game that comes to mind that did something similar is Throne of Darkness. I would argue that Dungeon Siege is closer to Dragon Age than Diablo.

Play something better

These were my absolute favorites growing up. I never got to play BG2. BG1 was so hard though. I usually get to the catacombs with that orb boss and get stuck.

Great game!

But I got nervous about the finite XP situation and how many party members to actually have etc.

Hybrid characters don't seem to be worth it so it's best to go with
>2 pure melee
>2 pure ranged
>2 pure combat magic
>2 pure nature magic
The exp gain for using healing magic is very low so just keep replacing the lowest level nature mage with a new one each time you see one offered.

Whatever happened to Space Siege? Is there even pirated copies of this delisted game anywhere? It is completely gone from existence as far as I know.
>>
used to play this with my brothers as a kid. the massive multiplayer-exclusive campaign was fucking awesome

Man /vr/ is getting extremely bad

Isn't the version of Dungeon Siege on Steam and GOG fucked in some way?
>>
>>12501363
it uses the expansion .exe so mod compatibility is an issue but you can get the original .exe too.

>accidentally use wrong weapon
>character bricked
good game design
>>
>>12501259
It's been delisted for nearly a decade. You can check to see if 1337x or tpb have one. If you are really desperate you can snag a physical copy on ebay for like $20 tops.
Good luck getting it to work on a modern PC.

>Space Siege

Is on myabandonware website with plenty of information on how to run it even on win11
Probably on archive org as well
>>
>>12500190
>Dungeon Siege
because it's an ugly 3D game?

Nobody asked you, tripfag.

>How did Diablo with more than 1 character not take off?
Diablo was so huge that anything similar to diablo was just compared negatively against diablo unless it was exactly like diablo. The dungeon siege series just became more of a diablo clone as it went on because of this

Dunno if it took off but I feel morally obligated to mention Diablo 1.5 with multiple characters. I only had the demo as a kid but I remember it being pretty fun.
>>
>>12503069
I wouldn't call them diablo clones. 2 is more generic then 1 (despite 1 just being a reskinned DnD adventure) because it tries to hard to be more cinematic but the gameplay style still keeps the 'you and your dudes' mechanics. 3 takes way too much after Bioware's own flavors and party formula, so instead of feeling like I am playing some diablo clone it feels more like I am playing some kind of Neverwinter Nights knockoff.

play tower of kalemonvo

anyway do i need any essential mods before replaying diablo 1, last time i played it was in 1997
>>
>>12501363
Yes, it's a pain in the ass to get working. You have to look up obscure workarounds. I gave up and played the PSP dungeon siege instead. Fun but very janky.
>>
>>12500473
There's a guaranteed Mace of Destruction in that level. Honestly the sewers before that are way harder on extreme, not counting the later stage.

RIP Snowblind, one of my favorite studios growing up. Along with OG Raven Software.

but even those that are exactly diablo were shunned as mere copycats
