From playing Diablo, there is a 'con' to having to finish an entire journey / quest on a single attempt....simply from the real-world impact of not having the time / having to leave the computer. You should be able to save and return to a game at your own leisure, not be forced to 'finish' anything in a single log-on / attempt. Diablo forces you to return all the way back to your home base after leaving town to enter a dungeon and attempt to clear it.That, and the annoyance factor when you enter a dungeon, fail / get killed....and had to resume hacking your way past all the outdoor minions en route back to the same darn place you were just in.
