Everything else is just icing on the cake. AA> To which Darklord replies... Oh yes, there were a lot of great little "extra's" in that game. Grabbing a fish underwater and having it pull you along, or grabbing the bird for a short lift-off or the bigger bird outside the temple that would fly you around for a time. I still think the Secret Garden would be the pinnacle (pardon the pun!) just because of what was involved just to get there. Oh, my young daughter was playing this game with me when it first came out and when the horse fell she *cried*. It was tough but turned out okay (later) of course. Kinda like my moment in Ultima V when a comrade NPC was decapitated by Lord Blackthorn when I wouldn't give up the password to the Resistance. Argh, that NPC had been with me for a few games in the series! It's those moments though that take a game from being just good entertainment to unforgettable. :) No argument about character classes it's just that, for me, I've always leaned towards the "holy" warrior concept. You know, Paladin, Crusader, Guardian, Holy Avenger, etc,... So I'll be happier if/when they add some thing along those lines to Diablo IV. I'm up to level 23 now, BTW. Been fun so far. :D /\ Dark>
