Well, since I see that my post got deleted and the opening thread got updated (give more info please!), I guess I will repost with my "more info".
I'm currently replaying Diablo II, but with the Eastern Sun mod attatched to it. I've just gotten in the mood to replay this classic (maybe in the hopes that by playing it, I will influence the Diablo Gods to announce they are indeed working on a DIII this Blizzcon). and I figured I'd try it with a mod to change what there was in it.
Everyone knows what DII is, but for those that have been living in a cave for the last 12 years, it is an action RPG hack-and-slash where you create your character and basically hunt for items in order to become "uber". In doing so you take out the 3 brothers of Hell who are trying to take over this mortal realm (yet again).
The Eastern Sun mod adds in a ton of new items, new crafting recipes, a HUGE stash with which to packrat all of your finds, changes to many skills, a new layout for the acts (as well as new areas to explore as well), new monsters (or old ones if you want to say, from DI). All in all, a very well done mod, and I heartily recommend it for those that want something the same and yet a little different.
I've also been playing Oblivion again. Okay, that's a lie. I've been getting ready to play Oblivion again, by downloading and installing a ton of updated mods since the new patch has come out and I have obtained the Shivering Isles expansion. Being out of it for a while, I am eager to see what sort of enhancements have been made for this game, and am hoping to be absorbed in my character for hundreds of hours yet again.
Oblivion is one of those games where you create a character and go and save the world. However, Oblivion allows you the freedom to completely ignore the main quest if you wish and do a ton of other side quests, or just live your life as a hunter/collector. I am downloading more "realism" mods this time around, as I want to make my experience as immersive as possible.
Both of these games are on my PC, and although I have a ridiculous amount of new games to play on both my PS2 and PS3, I just haven't had the hankering to do so. Maybe next month...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
