Semi-related side note. I thought I had created a thread before about this but I couldn't find it. Anyway, I was getting a real Diablo 2 itch from all the Resurrected hype, so I decided to go back to my favorite Grim Dawn mod, Reign of Terror.
If you haven't heard of this, it's basically a complete mod of GD to Diablo 2. They use all the old sound effects and music, but the graphics have been re-imagined and re-built in the GD engine. It's a pretty incredible translation and they've done an absolutely amazing job IMHO. It's not just nostalgic, though, the gameplay is a very interesting hybrid mix between GD and D2, depending on how you play. You're still allowed a dual class mix, but of course you can choose to use D2 classes only if you want. Apparently the current version is balanced better for the D2 classes, but being a GD fan as well, I chose to use a GD secondary.
Because it's GD-based, there's actually *more* content than D2, since you can also run the endgame content from GD. It's kind of the perfect companion to D2R, since you get all the QoL improvements from GD as well as the excellent 3D graphics and gameplay, mixed with a ton of D2 nostalgia. If you only want classic D2, obviously D2R is where you want to be.
If you are a fan of either game, but particularly if you are a fan of both, I'd highly recommend it.
