PoD-Launcher VS devilutionX

So a separate charm inventory. There are D2 mods which do the same, like Path of Diablo or Project Diablo 2.

Path of Diablo

Hey no, there's already a PoD, and it's really good, please find another name D:

Firstly, you can check out Diablo 2 mods, like Median XL, Project Diablo 2, and Path of Diablo among others to get some more mileage out of D2 since it's a favorite of yours.

there are modded d2 communities. i can recommend https://pathofdiablo.com/ which is more true to vanilla d2 with a lot of quality of life mods. i would even recommend this over the vanilla game, because it plays much better and is more balanced.

These days, if I get the Diablo itch, I just play Path of Diablo.

For Diablo 2 there are a few good mods, but I recommend Path of Diablo, it's more like a modernisation of the game mechanics, it includes better inventory and stash management, better build diversity, more balanced drop rates, and a better end game featuring maps similar to how Path of Exile end game works.

I just replayed diablo 2 a month ago, but since I don't have a windows computer, I went for the Path of Diablo[1] mod. This is an excellent mod that stays pretty close to the original experience, but makes the game a bit faster and more comfortable for the 2022 gamer.

PoD has been running for over 6 years now. Check out our front page for some selling points. https://pathofdiablo.com and a player has made a list of changes compared to diablo2 if you want to read it. it doesnt contain every change and is a bit old but it has plenty of stuff to give you an idea. https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofdiablo/comments/6enwwl/difference_between_d2_and_pod_here_it_is/

Diablo is the original "anti-souls" game.

The slot machine mechanics, the lacking of significant strategic elements and that sense of hollow progression have always been key factors for my dissatisfaction with it.

That said, the beautiful / dreadful / horror vibe and simplicity of the first game to this day regularly pulls me in – only to ultimately dissatisfy me greatly. Each time. There is "no there there".

So I agree on many fronts with this article.

Diablo could have been so much more but they turned it into a highly engineered form of drug that can potentially destroy you with little to nothing to gain for it (nicotine?).

So depending on the person and with the right .mpq file in hand this could either mean getting addicted to or maybe getting off "cigarettes" completely:

(Devilution/X is amazing and maybe more interesting than playing the game itself, complete clean-room reverse engineered version of Diablo).

Devilution X (Diablo)

Diablo 1 with https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX

DevilutionX is a relatively recent project which supports the original Xbox, amongst other platforms.

There basically is already with DevilutionX: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/releases

https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX works great on the deck

I would recommend to use DevilutionX, which is an Open Source Port to modern platforms. It has some quality of life adjustments if you like to use them and also has controller support. https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX

I am trying to install DevilutionX 1.4 (which seems to be the latest arm version?) on my Pi 4 running retropie. I followed the instructions in the Wiki .
