The answer to this is Lutris - https://lutris.net/

It's a launcher that manages the dependencies needed for each individual application (setting up dedicated wine prefixes, installing any dotnet packages, etc)

Install it, then use the appropriate install script from the website: https://lutris.net/games/diablo-ii/

Worth noting that Lutris' script repository is iffy at best. Moderators hold all the power on the platform, which means they can (and will, as they have in the past) replace entire scripts at random if they believe they have a better solution (regardless of whether it is or not, or even if it works).

Just wanted to point that out before anyone sees this great project and decides to contribute a script to an unknown game.

For example: the satisfactory script just plainly doesn't work. Using the epic games store script, and then installing factorio from the store works.

The Final Fantasy XIV script also doesn't work after a new moderator decided to wipe the old ones in favor of his own.

How does this differ from PlayOnLinux?

They basically do the same thing, but lutris is much nicer with a bigger suite of options.
