I have been getting strong urges to play this. D2R is an amazing graphical update. One thing that really bugs me about D2 is the skill tree advancement though. I always disliked it. It's a step down from both Diablo 1 random classless book drops and Diablo 3 variation unlocks. How long it takes to get feature complete and the right gear also bugs me. Despite that, I do have a lot of fond memories with this game. I look at D2R videos and think maybe I could still.

Nah man D2's skillsystem is way better than D3

You don't need to have a "feature complete" build to have a functional char and fun in the game. The journey is the destination!

I don’t understand why nobody has made a reskin mod to fix this. The animations are also worse, but a reskin would be enough.

1) Blizzard deliberately made modifying D2R extremely tedious, and in some cases almost impossible. Try implementing new oskills with controller support, for instance.

2) Mods like the kind you are proposing will get you banned from nexus mods, moddb, etc.

I know. But I thought with the popularity of D2, someone would at least make a ‘restoration’ reskin, like a very miniature American Krogan.

Amazon's the worst one. They didn't just nerf her looks, her animations look markedly worse. She marches around like a linebacker. The dodges and attacks don't have the agile, cat-like animations that original D2 had. Same thing with the Assassin- her running animation doesn't convey the same sense of speed as her sprites used to.

When I was big into D2:R a couple years ago I would mostly switch to 'classic' graphics. But from a gameplay perspective that puts you in a disadvantage because it's not widescreen and it displays less items on the ground.

The Paladin doesn't lift his knees when he runs anymore, so he also has the Frankenstein's Monster March going on.
