I think since there have been several editions of Diablo dice/paper RPGs (like at http://diablowiki.net/Diablo_pen_and_paper_RPG it shows 4) that we should maybe go into more detail about what version was included with the game.
I think it was this version http://diablowiki.net/Dungeons_and_Dragons_Adventure_Game:_Diablo_II_Edition because I am pretty sure I have that one with the Rogue on the cover and remember the 'fast play' stuff. Not sure where the version with the Barb on the cover comes from.
Is there a final answer on whether this is AD&D2E or D&D3E rules? Or what title we should use to refer to it? Should "FAST-PLAY GAME" on the top be considered part of the title?
It sounds like the Necromancer was not one of the playable classes, which is disappointing, although I guess it balances the gender ratio I don't think they ever did an expansion for the Druid/Assassin. Also not sure Diablo III ever got anything like this. 184.145.18.50 ( talk) 15:58, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
This list of game credits is super broken; there appears to have been a topic started and ignored on the subject already.
An example of a GA-scale video game article is Deus Ex, a game of similar parameters, whose credits run thus:
Looking at the actual credits http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/deus-ex/credits, I'd argue that Warren Spector as the team director is the equivalent of Dave Brevik and the Schaefer brothers: Heads of the studio who run all the disciplines. The credit Moby gives for them is "Project and Design Leads", not "Design Leads", which means something completely different. I'll note that in the games business titles are extremely variable, so making sense of them and standardizing them is a good idea.
What I'd propose is to create better conformity with what's in the above credits is:
Note that I added Lead to the titles that clearly have large teams behind them--the attribution as it stands in both of the above examples implies that there was a single programmer or artist involved in the production of these massive titles, which is absurd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.152.135.157 ( talk) 19:08, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
And done.
Based on this, I still believe no change should be made, except maybe to blank out Directors. Mobygames does not accurately match the game credits, as they've combined the game design section (Credits for Blizzard North) with the support/network/marketing section (Blizzard Entertainment). -- ferret ( talk) 21:54, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Even though the story has been picked up by several reliable sources like Forbes and PCGamer, I assume we wouldn't want to add a statement about this Diablo 2: Resurrected thing theoretically coming out later this year since even those sources have labelled it a rumor. That sound about right? -- Fyrael ( talk) 01:33, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Does anyone have any Info, why Tyrael is pronounced "T'real" in the game? I find it confusing, maybe its also worth a mention. KhlavKhalash ( talk) 18:26, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
