What is it exactly, that people want from the sequel?

Bigger skill tree, so you can make even more fun of D4.

Yes, because getting so lost in the skill tree that you can easily gimp your character by clicking on the wrong node is exactly the direction they need to push more towards.

I kind of find it fun to try new directions in the skill tree instead of just following someone else's guide. Yes, it means I might gimp my character and I have but it's not that big of a deal to fix and try something else.
