of course you can, you just won't have access to an addition act in the game (4 without, 5 with) and you will have 2 less characters to choose from


Edit: nor do you need Diablo 1 to play 2

If you want to play online it will auto patch it but the only way to get the last act is to buy LoD expansion.

you log on, and you can either enter games via a lobby, or create your own.

Games can have up to 8 members iirc. Its a lot of fun, the enemies grow stronger and (I think) the loot drops are better too

thats debatable

Blizzard has never exactly been on the cutting edge of visuals. Yet their games age well because of the excellent design, use of colors, etc.

imo, DIablo 2's visuals have aged well. Then again, I was there when it first came out. When I play older games I have not played before (at their time of release), its generally difficult for me to look past them.

I highly recommend you check out Titan Quests; its visuals are a lot sharper, and the gameplay is as solid as Diablo's. Very fun game, and nearly identical to Diablo...you can also take your offline character online, too.

Excellent advice :) though I think I'm still gonna try diablo, now I'm officially getting curious about it.

The expansion is well worth the money, the amount of dungeons and extra quests the changes the game entirely, plus you get the fight the ubers and diablo clone.
