If 'flavor' for you is having a nice clean route for your characters that the developers have planned out, and you need only follow, you definitely won't find that in PoE. Uniques can bring a lot of flavor, but as D3 shows they can also just railroad you into certain build paths because the others just don't have that 500% more damage multiplier. In PoE they've tried to keep things balanced to the point where rare items are competitive with uniques, and for many builds the best possible items for some slots are crafted rares that take significant investment to get just right. In D3 unique items often come with some absurd 500% more damage multiplier on them, making use of rare items universally wrong. If I didn't know that I could get a lot of identity from building around a skill for end game, the lack of identity for the individual classes might bother me too.ДЄ lot of the unique items are not super exciting. Unless you're looking to learn about it, you can easily play through the whole game without any idea what was happening. It has a pretty interesting story going on, but it doesn't really thrust it onto you. I understand why some people think it is bland, though I don't find it such. I recommend considering Grim Dawn and Torchlight 1 just in case you can get some fun out of them, but I mostly recommend reconsidering Diablo 3 and giving it more of a chance. So for me it's just going to be another few hundred hours of Diablo 3 again this year when I want my aRPG fix But that's not even reached Beta yet, and the Alpha you can play today is an empty shell of a game. The only one I am expecting might be fun in the future is Wolcen. Torchlight 2 I bought but totally failed to capture my attention. Torchlight 1 was fun but overshadowed by Diablo 3. I tried Titan Quest again recently but it felt so antique I just couldn't get started in it. Personally I find PoE convoluted (hiding blandness behind complexity) and Grim Dawn adequate but clunky. Each class in D3 is properly unique and the smooth solid gameplay is a step up from pretty much all competition. However I do actually love D3 as well, since the major changes and removal of the Auction House in favour of soloable endgame made it fun to play. I think the game had so much possibility that I lack the structure to play.ДЄnother massive D2:LOD player here. But is kinda good in its own right? So, maybe I'll use it b/c I don't have anything for that gear?' And then my characters always felt like they were kinda just. But I think I drowned in PoE, or I didn't play long enough to make a build work, and I was always playing the game like, 'Okay. Yeah, I think I end up feeling like PoE is just bland? I know basically everybody on the planet disagrees w/ me, b/c PoE is widely-agreed as super awesome. If you want to be a blade vortex character for example, you could do it as a witch, a ranger, a marauder, a scion, or others, and the gameplay will be basically the same (but how you build the passives and gear would be different). Rather than 'choose your class' the game is really more 'choose your skill.' Class is secondary to choice of primary skill, but of course you aren't told that in an organic way if you just launch the game and try to start playing. Lack of class identity is an intentional design choice in PoE, and part of how the game offers such a dizzying amount of build diversity / build options. So, I am sad and I don't really want to play Diablo 2 w/o the LoD content.ДЄ legitimate concern.

People on the Blizz forums say just install it and activate w/ the LoD key I got, but this doesn't work. I downloaded the installer from Blizzard, but there doesn't seem to be any way to activate the content. So, what should I be playing if I really liked Diablo 2, but I hate Path of Exile?Д®DIT: I suppose somebody will ask, why not just play Diablo 2? I tried! I can't get the LoD expansion to install. The classes could be fun, and feel totally different, and excel in different situations, and it was all cool. When I played Diablo 2, I felt like the different classes played in fundamentally different ways. I can't even explain why, except to say that I don't feel like the characters have much identity. A ton of people have told me that Path of Exile is the best aRPG ever, but I just. I was completely addicted to Diablo 2 back in the day. There's always been something about Diablo 3 that doesn't quite work for me. That got me playing Diablo 3 a bit, which is fun, but I dunno. I've been playing a lot of Warframe, and it's fun and all, but I kind of want to play something with a different loot grinding system.
