512 textures in D2

[MotoX395 (A)]

Of course there is a diff but a good game designer know where to put in the details and not. No one will ever notice that you can see every fibber on the clothing of the hay bales or every single snail sitting on those rocks. Sure it'd be an awesome thing but it is simply not worth it for a game like this when you only see things in a fly-by kind of view anyway.
It's like taking a crew of fire fighters to put out your camp fire... Sure they can put out large fires but for that little camp fire a bucket of water would do the job just as good. Thinking about the size it does it even better actually, just as with textures.
