Advantages: comfortable, better fitting shoes at reasonable prices Disadvantages: limited range, most of them are quite ugly
First let me explain ?scone shoes.? When I first ordered shoes from the Shoe Tailor, experts in wider-fitting shoes, I measured my feet incorrectly and found that the only shoes in their catalogue that would fit me were their widest, ugliest, most orthopaedic, brown, granny shoes: the type you might wear to go out with your friends for a scone, in your later years. Hence my friends groaningly called them my ?scone shoes? and walked several yards behind me on the way to the pub every night.
They were very comfy! However, they fell apart after a couple of years of continuous wear, and once gone, same said friends took me shopping to some ?proper? shoe shops in Glasgow and I never once consulted my Shoe Tailor catalogue again.

Advantages: character development, items Disadvantages: addictive

RPG means a role-play strategy game and Diablo II offers you the role of a world saviour, nothing less and some more since on the way you can also become a respected and rich hero equipped with incredible stuff everyone will envy you.
There are five characters to choose from:
