Play through every area of the game

I was recently able to solo hell ancients with my summoner for the first time since I started playing in 2005 (I've always gotten rushed). This was my first necro character and it got me thinking, there are areas in the game I haven't even been before (like ancient tunnels, act 3 dungeons) since they're not required. It would be interesting to start a game in act 1 blood moors and playing all the way to throne of destruction, clearing all areas and killing all enemies along the way. Has anyone ever done something like this?|||Yes, people have done this. I'd imagine you would be overleveled though.

Have you heard of this thingy? http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/s....php?p=7552933

I'd assume killing every monster would require that they don't reset, so you wouldn't be able to turn off the computer for a whole week, or however long it takes to beat normal difficulty.

Some people get real crazy after they've beaten the game normally enough times. I shouldn't say that, it's Blizzards fault for making such addicting games T_T|||players in the single player forum do this all the time, its almost standard.|||I never done normal or nightmare, but my melee necro cleared act1-5 by himself, with 8 people in the game when possible.|||My necro always goes front to back alone.

The two exceptions are Normal diablo and sometimes normal duriel.

At that point necros are just very underpowered. The rest of the game its easy except for the maggot lair and arcane sactuary which are torture (but doable).|||I highly suggest doing something like this. You will find yourself in a lot more interesting and challenging encounters than Baal runs. In general, it sharpens your awareness, reflexes, and makes you a better player in my opinion.|||There are specific areas I normally avoid because they aren't required and are more annoying than fun. These areas include any of the pre Lower Kurast dungeons that have souls and/or dolls in them, and any of the portals in A5 that contain those terrifying physical immune minotaurs.|||Quote:

I have to mostly agree with this. Those jungle dungeons are just woefully bad in design. It's so dark in them that I have to turn my gamma & brightness all the way up just to tell the difference between the floors and the walls. I've managed to get through them half-blind because the less-terrible Skeleton AI lets them get around these obstacles.
