1. How does Diablo II borrow from different types of games like action RPGs, classical class-based RPGs and Roguelikes?
2. What are the different types of randomness in Diablo II and how do they work?
3. How do elaborate level-up mechanics keep players interested in a relatively short game for dozens or hundreds of hours?
