Rottweiler - Indeed, the first Diablo offers a great degree of character flexibility, though the optimum way to go always is melee weapons for the Warrior, bows for the Rogue and magic for the Mage (no surprises here). In Diablo II, characters become considerably more specialized and cannot overstep their boundaries anymore, but they also have unique paths they can follow ("character builds").

The Mage is the hardest character to play because he is quite fragile, and because you always have to keep track of your mana or staff charges (both of which act as "ammo" in a way, whereas mundane weapons don't have this limitation, even bows have infinite arrows). Also, as you progress further, monsters start having increasing resistances and/or immunities to certain types of spells. Some creatures are immune to everything, so you have to summon golems and use their physical attacks to defeat them.

Deathstalker - New video looks good, though I cannot hear it yet. That'll have to wait until I return home.

Apart from EE, there is at least one other RTS title that I might be interested in - I think it was Age of Mythology. For now I've got my hands full with C&C stuff - I am trying to beat C&C 3 on the Hard skill level and I am making decent progress (even though I'm by no means a strategy game expert). Still, there were some missions that managed to kick my butt even on the Easy setting, and I am a little worried about them :P

You are probably forgetful - at level 1 in Diablo, any monster you kill will give you experience, meaning that you'd definitely level up before leaving the first floor of the dungeon. Don't feel so guilty about saving often - everyone does that. Diablo II is a different story - you only have a "Save & Exit" option there. Once you return to the game, you are back in town, and all monsters are reset (whereas D1 keeps the slain monsters dead). This, however, has the benefit of being a convenient way to escape certain death - you can Save & Exit right before you die, and then appear safely in town when you enter the game again.

Meh, Foghorn doesn't count - it's a parody WAD. Parodies can be fun, but they grow tedious very fast. And some of their jokes are quite tasteless (the kind of stuff that only a 10-year-old would find funny). You really need to play some higher-quality stuff. You'd be amazed what you've missed.

Isn't it obvious - you go to headphones university, you get a headphones certificate and poof - you're a headphones expert :P
