I would also recommend both expansion packs... This Game as a whole is really well thought out and the variety of character classes is even more varied than all the possible D2 builds. I really wish D2 had used a more D&D like approach to character building. Multiclass anything with almost anything else and the prestige classes add a whole new dimension. This was the one that broke my D2 addiction. Morrowind couldn't do it, Warcraft 3 couldn't do it, and neither could Dungeon Siege.
In this game a wizard truly is a wizard, with more spells to choose than he can actually use, and fireball is NOT the end all be all spell. Time stop is pretty dang cool. Ray of Enfeeblement is also cool.
Rogues can be damn sneaky ;)
Monks are Ultra cool. Carradine on steroids.
Henchmen are actually useful and in the expansions you can set their equipment, tactics and have them cast useful buffs on you. My only bummer is that Grimgnaw is not available as a henchman in the expansions, he was my fave.
I am going to be exploring this game for a long time....
