Comparing Diablo with Baldur's Gate is like comparing Portal with Half Life. They may both be roleplaying games in a broad, genre-label sense, but they are at very opposite ends of the spectrum.

Very true. I've played both games and their sequels all the way through but I enjoyed the Baldur's Gate series a lot more. I thought it had more of an immerisve story and character development.
at the moment RPG's win hands down. Every MMO I've played devolves into pointless grinding very quickly, and there's no reason to play. If someone could make an MMO that uses the inherent advantages of MMO's, while incorporating the things that make single-player RPG's great, They'd have me. Doesn't look like that's gonna happen for a while.Mediocre_man90
I agree. Based on the games out I would say that I prefer RPG's, but imagine a MMO that lives up to it's potential. I applaude MMO's like Guild Wars that took the risk to get out of the rut that is MMO's (Grinding, fee's, etc).
Many MMO's have proclaimed that the story is driven by the community but rarely happens.
Grinding is a pain, but I almost find it necessary. I find that when I play games that are too easy to progress you don't have a sense of acomplishment.
BTW Even though GW does try to eliminate grinding and there are many other ways to enjoy the game without it I believe farming is just another form of it.
