Are there any enjoyable ones that I missed? Here's a list of Diablo-clones that I know more than by name:
Dungeon Siege 1&2 (plays and feels kind of like NWN1; I'm trying the second, and damn that's hard without providing much opportunity for grinding - still I'm able to progress but I don't particularly admire the game)
Titan Quest (didn't really like it but perhaps I should retry)
Divine Divinity (got stuck in the first dungeon cause it was too hard iirc; seemed like an OK game)
Dragon Knight Saga (here I should have used walkthrough but didn't; only played through the beginning or so, which I didn't particularly like - beginnings are important, dammit, look at Sacred 2 which I love to replay a little way and would even further if it was freer)
Sacred 1&2 (only played 2 - love the anti-storyfag minimalism and like the relative freedom and opportunities for exploration and grinding, although there could have been more)
Diablo 1&2&3 (only really liked 1, haven't tried 3; with respect to 2, the jungle level just kills it for me - what an annoying shit, plus the darkness quest in desert level is annoying)
Loki (didn't like it)
Din's Curse (just not that satisfying, something lacking, maybe the focus was in the wrong place for a game of this type, like solving a quest/beating a level fast instead of doing careful exploration and intelligent grinding)
Borderline Diablo-clones:
Two Worlds 1 (I think the prominence of loot and the numerousness of monsters make this a borderline case, even though combat is twitchy; great game either way)
Borderlands series (feels like fps Diablo; only played the first one so far but it's OK)
Hellgate: London (I got stuck, or something; that's pretty much all I remember)
There's something like a list here but the thread is short on actual recommendations:

So far I'm in the embarrassing situation that I've really only properly played & enjoyed Sacred 2, Diablo 1, Two Worlds, and Borderlands. Perhaps I should man up and play through Divine Divinity, but I feel like trying something less Codexian.
