Diablo is actually very far from an RPG. It is an action game. In fact, one of the the most loved games of that generation of RPGs, Fallout 2, came out the year after. Same with Baldur's Gate.
Diablo's popularity helped bring attention to the PC RPGs, even though it really wasn't one. Some of the best game of the franchises of the genre came out after that game and the gameplay was in no way related.
I give that post a 9.4.
Thank god for the disable signatures option.
