Would have bought the updated version of D2 except they made it online
only and I have less than zero interest in battle.net (Had to do the
online but playing solo thing for Diablo3 - wait in line to play, lag,
random disconnects, these did NOT improve my solo game play.
Uninstalled D3 after maybe 2 months and never had any desire to
reinstall it, nor any desire to buy anything else they've made since
that cannot be played offline.)

I'm surprised that modders haven't created a fan-made update patch for
the original Diablo 2; one that improves the visuals and adds various
QOL features to bring the 2000 game more in-line with modern
sensibilities. There's the official "Resurrected" re-release, of
course, but you're not alone in disliking its 'improvements'. You'd
think some of the more dissatisfied fans might have taken it into
their hands to 'do it right'. Heck, even the original Diablo got a fan
remaster of sorts (DevilutionX https://devilutionx.com/).

But maybe that's because ActiMicroBlizzard hasn't sold the game as a
stand-alone game for decades, instead only selling versions closely
tied to Battle.Net.

Maybe one day we'll get the "Diablo 2" equivalent of XVM.










(or, and this is the secret intent of my post, maybe it exists already
and somebody will, "Um... actually" me and provide a link. ;-)
