Are you the kalais from kalialeyisla?

[kalaisaga]

@rykpl6 nope, sorry

[Crusader2010]

"Morgoth Bauglir" is the final boss, while Sauron himself is beaten a level earlier? Better make Saruman the wizard-boss before and Sauron the final boss, or am I missing something?

@Crusader2010

1. I am not the author of this mod

2. Sauron was just a servant of Morgoth, Morg is "ultimate badass" in Middle Earth world. Just because Sauron is "last" boss in LOTR movies doesnt mean there was no more powerfull villains in Tolkien's books. In Middle Earth story Morgoth was defeated much earlier tho.

[Crusader2010]

@kalaisaga I am aware of that, I read the Silmarillion. But Morgoth Bauglir is an Ainur and virtually unbeatable. Even High King Fingolfin could only harm him before dying himself. It would baffle belief that just an adventurer would be able to defeat him. Also his size would be a problem in the Diablo1 engine. His skin in the mod is quite disappointing. He is described as huge in all cases, ranging from the size of a mountain to the form that fought Fingolfin, which was many times his size.

@Crusader2010

yeah, but mind that modding back in the '97 was really hard, not like today, publishers of games often gives you editors. Modding Diablo required reverse enginering and hex editing. Today it is a bit easier coz there are some editors made by fans etc.

Belive me, playing that in 97/98 was great adventure and you could really feel the Middle Earth atmosphere + defeating morgoth on hell/hell is really hard. It was way better balanced then original Diablo imho.

Just coz there's a diablo 2 doesn't mean original classic Diablo sucks! Diablo one is an amazing game and helped shape alot of the new RPGs. It was very well done, and believe it or not, there's a eerie sense that sends shivers down my spine that DII can't replicate! I just bought diablo I again to relive it. AMAZING!

@frosthardr I'll give you that. D2 has a lot more to do because of the bigger world, more options and more decisions etc. I'm really trying to refrain from getting my paws on D3 so I don't forgo my life...LOL

[frosthardr]

@DarcProjekt I agree 100% with this, diablo 2 never could capture the same eerie feeling from the first times I played diablo 1. but it is a bigger game and ultimately more addicting :)

P.S. this last boss is a homage to the last boss fight of Angband, a popular roguelike based on Middle Earth

@kalaisaga

I think it's kind of funny how in the chain above you can see quite clearly from the guy's saying the last boss is this "Morgoth Bauglir" in quotations like its some shit you just pulled of your ass and saying sauron needed to be the last boss with saruman as his sidekick

and then you reply to him and explain who morgoth was and he comes back with a bunch of quotes off of morgoth's LOTR wiki page XD

[Alreadydonethis]

Those 2 last bosses together in 1 closed room would be tough.

[Crusader2010]

@axl170 Correct, I mixed up the terms.
