In December 2018, the creators of Median XL announced an update, Median XL: Sigma, which would re-work many of the mechanics of the original, and offered new quality of life updates not found in the previous iterations. There was a point that it became not as fun, and I walked away. Due to the frantic nature of some of these abilities, and that monsters have the same abilities, the screen can fill up rather quickly and bring you from full life to death quickly. Median XL also offered new and exciting abilities for each class to use. Each characters skill trees have been completely revamped. At times, this would be due to straying into a higher level area which I can’t criticize, other times not. At times, I would be walking along, minding my own business hunting down demons, and instantly would drop dead. The main reason that I strayed from Median XL years ago, was due to the one hit kills. It was one of those mods that felt like they changed a lot of the core Diablo game, but in interesting ways that kept me engaged. Though I’ve tried multiple mods, I put the most time into Median XL. Some of them drastically changed the core game enough for it to seem like something entirely new, others made a few key quality of life changes that overall enhanced the experience. Over the years, I’ve spiced things up by trying various Diablo II mods such as Eastern Sun, Median XL and more recently, Path of Diablo. It’s a game that I re-visit frequently, and is still my go to when I want to dabble into the isometric Action-RPG genre.
I could talk for hours about what Diablo II has done for me, starting as a young child and now carrying on into adulthood.
