Really? I quite enjoyed the environments and atmosphere...
Well, until it got all hellish...

But maybe that's just because I've had a thing for Woodlands, marshlands, and Egyptianish deserty locales ever since I was a kid...

Though I suppose the general layout was kind of empty and repetitive... But I guess back in the day it was hard to pack a lot of variety and substance into randomly generated maps...

Which is actually something I'm curious about Diablo 3... Will it continue with the randomly generated environments? *ponders*

"When it's done" is Blizzard's answer to every question regarding the release date of any of their games until they themselves set one...

Act I was tedious on my eyes. Act II and Act III were both pretty good, but some of the desert exploration towards the end of Act II got boring. Act IV was boring, but short, so it's forgivable. And, the Expansion Act was alright.

All-in-all, given how old D2 is, the environments aren't that bad. But by today's standards, they do look very blah.
