You obviously never played any MODDED D2 LoD games or even tried to MOD the game yourself if you think I’m more a D3 Fan.
I for once played many D2 LoD games and even modded it myself countless of times and it’s modding that really kept me interested in the D2 LoD.
I could play the game the way I wanted and not like in D3 RoS how the devs want me to.
Many of the suggestions I mentioned above come from MODDED games and some modders even tried to make potions stack, but usually they failed. They even found out how to auto pick up Gold, how to increase the max gold you can carry in your inventory or stash, increased the max 800x600 screen resolution to 1280x720 and even up to 1920x1080, but unfortunately only for 1.12a patch…
Every single modded game had an increased inventory size and plugy (infinite stash pages), increased horadric cube and some even increased trade windows from merchants or gamble…
Some mods offered mercenaries with All item slots and more than just one skill used by them which wasn’t really that hard to make if you were really into modding yourself.
Some modders even found out how to make arrows and bolts “like quivers” in D3 and have different item quality for example magic or rare arrows or bolts with no quantity and it worked with the game.
Many also wanted to make gems and runes to stack unfortunately it was never made to work in D2 LoD, so not adding stacking Gems and Runes would be a major flaw in D2R and honestly 100 max stacks isn’t much compared to max 5000 stacks for gems in D3 RoS…
If you want to make a good remaster you should focus on what the modders used change in the game and make it an in game feature or at least close to it, cause you can’t have plugy like stash system in multiuplayer obviously, but many other features or increased stash, inventory, horadric cube size or even a bigger field of view when you change your screen resolution unlike D3 RoS where’s there’s NO Difference between a 800x600 and 1920x1080 (check multires MOD for D2 LoD to see what I mean and try to compare the difference between 800x600 and 1920x1080 and you’ll know what I mean)…
A REAL D2 LoD fan notices such things and doesn’t focus only on better graphic or music, cinematics, sound quality…
Btw. even now there’s a lot of people that want a special Charm inventory, check this thread if you don’t believe me:
