     Awhile back I decided to download the demo for Diablo, its an awesome game that I plan on buying. Anyway, I was looking for other games similar to it, and I downloaded the demo to Dungeon Siege. It wasn't like Diablo at all, at least in my mind. In Diablo, to attack, you have to click multiple times to continue attacking. In Dungeon Siege, to attack, you click once and your avatar continues to attack unaided. For some reason, my brain gets turned off on this sort of method of attacking. Don't get me wrong, KoToR so far has done this kind of attacking very well. But I come to Diablo, and KoToR for different things. I come to KoToR for a realized universe, while I like Diablo's action more than its story. (You need to kill satan) So, what do you guys think? How do you think I can overcome my Dungeon Siege problem? I guess I'll just have to check the options for an option to turn one-click combat off. Regardless, Sacred Gold should fill that 'not Diablo, but Diablo' void.

    I dunno if there's a solution to your Dungeon Siege problem. Having skipped over Diablo, myself, and having played through the original Dungeon Siege, and most of its sequel, I can definitely say that it doesn't bother me. Dungeon Siege is a masterpiece of a game, even if the basic gameplay scheme is a direct rip of Diablo.

    @c0l0nelp0c0rn1: Oh, I know... It's totally personal preference. Seeing your comment, I do wish they had the option.
