so D3:RoS is coming out this month. I was wondering if I should get it now or wait until it inevitably gets cheaper. I really liked D3 but stopped playing after completing with every class on Nightmare, which was about 5 months after release.
I played D2:LoD for much longer, came back to it several times as it improved over time. What made me stop comming back to D3 is that it is not actually as random as Blizzard claimed: in almost every dungeon I intrinsically knew what direction to go and how big the area would be. what only changed were the placements of some prebuilt dungeons sections, the monsters and the loot. Compare this to D2, where randomization meant a really completely different map in every dungeon except a couple of boss dungeons. In D1, it was even more random.
In RoS Blizzard claims that randomness is back, specifically in the Act V addition and in the new sandbox game more called Adventure Mode. While I welcome this whole heartedly, I am wondering if this means that the existing acts will also benefit form some random dungeon scripting. If so, I wouldn't mind going through them all again. If not, I think I will stick to Adventure Mode.
