Not surprisingly. Imo one of the stronger points of this game is that monsters all have their own characteristic and realistic behaviour. Other games, including D2, seldom offer more as retreating shooters and advancing meleers.
Yup, I really agree with you -- when I think of the different tactics involved in dealing with winged demons and spitters and goat lords and horned demons and lightning demons and succubi and knights and balrogs and advocates and so on and son on .. I still get misty eyed.
But it never really leaves your mind once you play enough. Just had my first hell game in a few months in D1, and was mostly okay. Died once to a fair few advcoates...but warriors just rock the party ;)
"The axe? Aye, that's a good weapon, balanced against any foe. Look how it cleaves the air, and then, imagine a nice fat demon head in its path. Keep in mind, however, that it is slow to swing - but talk about dealing a heavy blow!"
