Thread from blizzard forums.
UMM... YEAH, WERE WE LIED TO?

If you have the time it makes for some interesting reading if nothing else. The thread refers to old gameplay vids of the game as well as things that were said regarding the gameplay mechanics etc. The game is still fun to play but in honestly it looked so much more awesome back then than things are now. Blizz did a great job of hyping the game (not that it needed it).

This post isn't about bitching, just some interesting observations.

Another question, has anyone actually picked up any gear that they couldn't immediately equip..? (other than class specific ones). I remember in D2 you would pick up higher "level" gear which you couldn't use until you leveled up your character more (to add strength/dexterity etc). All the items I pick up are always quite a few levels down and generally useless most of the time.
