Beta/Y1 Guardian Lone Wolf (Edit, I misquoted - when I can find the video with the proper quote, I will post it) the huge Ogre (over the Dam wall) in the Divide(Cosmodrome), the ??? Knights & ??? Wizards in the Grotto The atmosphere, the gunplay/handling was spot on The 10 year plan was intriguing D1 Y1 was a far better game than D2 Y1 ever was Even with the DLC quality, D1 had its strike list, Raids, chasing exotic weapons, random rolls, levelling faction, IB etc As infuriating as it was in places - I never got bored/gave up hope of it achieving greatness it still left off in Y3 in a good place (it's still a better game than D2 Y1) (Sadly Bungle started chasing more profit) D2 vanilla was a dire reboot, lacking in both atmosphere, depth, replayability & charm, (Bungie showed no respect for D1 players) ....what followed (Osiris/Warmind) were both insulting/weak DLC Forsaken is the last roll of the dice It better be amazing (and not just for a week ....but still feel strong in 6-8 months time)
