It sounded like isometric, offline/co-op WoW with angels and devils, revamped inventory and a billion other things. I nearly fainted. I don’t think it will be, nup.

I think Left4Dead is more likely to nail the PC online co-op action genre. Isn’t it a bit on the shallow side?

No more lugging belts of potions about everywhere, finding you've run out mid-dungeon, and having to port back to restock. Another BIG plus is the way communication will be handled, more like a conversation. I like the way that they are really trying to include the player in everything that's going on - it was true that last time, some times, your "hero" felt more like an errand runner, than what its title suggests.
