Diablo 2 - game decisions and mechanics review

Post by AdiTT » Wed Jun 02, 2021 6:14 pm

Found this online book (also purchasable as eBook) which explains various aspects of Diablo 2: design decisions, classes, skills, some calculations, lots of graphs (like, really lots of them) and introducing the "Schaefer variation" :)

Quite the reading. Easy to understand and follow. Enjoy :diabolic:

Reverse Design: Diablo 2

Absolutely nothing related to reverse engineering, just inside look into the game

I remember reading this book a long time ago. Good find!
Although done for our needs, mod-makers should like these changes, too.
