I think the comment that Diablo 3 lacks mutually exclusive decisions while Diablo 2 has them is off-base. You make precisely the same kind of decisions and each one is tighter and more meaningful because each individual choice you make has a huge impact on your abilities. The only difference is the time scale at which you're able to make those choices and change your mind. My Witch Doctor can never have the AoE poision tank pet and the short duration but super powerful tank pet available at the same time. I can never have access to more than six abilities at a time. The only difference is you can change your mind and experiment contemporaneously. Diablo 2 is more punitive if you make a bad choice, but that doesn't mean you aren't making the choices at all in Diablo 3.
