In the first Diablo, the Sorcerer was a male character, but in Diablo 2, it became the female-only Sorceress class. This allows players to create highly personalized character builds, surpassing the customization limitations of Diablo 3's system. In contrast, Diablo 4 embraces Diablo 2's approach, reintroducing a skill tree format that unlocks and organizes abilities. However, Diablo 3 deviated from this system and introduced skill categories with six slots, each offering three to five options. While these aspects represent a return to the roots of the Diablo series, it is the gameplay features inspired by Diablo 2 that truly elevate Diablo 4 and address the criticisms of Diablo 3.ĭiablo 2's skill tree system laid a solid foundation for character and build customization in the series. The storyline also reintroduces characters like Andariel and Lilith from Diablo 2, characters who were absent from Diablo 3.

In addition to these cherished elements from Diablo 2, Diablo 4 also brings back the brooding atmosphere and artistic style that were sorely missed in Diablo 3. Although Diablo 3 did introduce some innovative concepts, such as user-friendly controls and enhanced multiplayer abilities, it was a relief for fans to see beloved features from Diablo 2 make a comeback in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 has revitalized the passion of Diablo 2 fans who felt let down by the path Blizzard took with Diablo 3.
