Which difficulty do you think you would try out first? I personally want to start at nightmare. I'm not a huge replayer and hope Diablo 3 changes that.
I'd probably start in Normal because of my GF, but I think I would hop into nightmare for myself because A: 3 difficulties are plent to move through, and B: it's probably the only higher level that you can do naked (assuming you get appropriate levels when you choose a difficulty)
Ignorance is not a crime XD

If that made sense to you, Bravo! I think I even confused myself...

I think operating under the assumption that you get to choose your difficulty automatically sets all the difficulties to be doable at level one, otherwise anything but Normal is impossible anyway.
Given that, I'd probably choose Nightmare, since that's when the game starts to really get hard.
Normal.
I don't think you'd survive for very long in the higher difficulty settings without the proper gear.
Even if you do manage to kill some of the mobs, chances are you're too under-leveled to even wear the
stuff you just picked up.
A hypothetical situation that just raises more questions. For the higher difficulties, what kind of gear would we have? What level would we be at?
Personally, I'd rather start at normal and work my way up from there rather than being given a character that got levelled and geared up by another player in the earlier difficulties.
Thanks FreddyBenson. Sorry about that, I'll admit to not knowing.
It's fine. As you've seen Diablo doesn't have your average difficulty settings where you start with 2-3 difficulties unlocked and choose one, it's all put together into 1 journey, you progress through all 3 (now 4) of them, and while the main story is replayed, the randomization and overall character improvement and more difficult enemies make it much better than most games in this aspect.
Nightmare because I don't want new experiences to be marred by trivial difficulty. Unfortunately I don't really have a choice unless I artificially inflate it by refusing to equip upgrades unless absolutely necessary.
If given a preset character and some starting gold, definitely nightmare. I'd enjoy the pull and pull difficulty of the game as i die and push ahead to make progress. It sounds a lot more interesting than a faceroll experience from start to finish in normal.
Anybody else in this thread that said "Normal, because you have to" needs to get an imagination really badly.

Some people tell me I'm going to hell. I just let them know that I've already packed my bags!
I'd start at normal anyway. Rather expirience the whole game since you'd move through all the difficulties anyway. Otherwise you might as well say you'd prefer to start at level 15 and skip all the easy stuff in the beta.
Who wants to be normal? Nightmare, I like it when a game feels hard from the start (even though I hated the Witcher 2 for this, I also adored it to the point of MADNESS).

Lol.
But if the choice was there, I'd still pick Normal, just because I'm a care bear.

Psh.. you won't get past level 1 in normal!

I think he was operating under the assumption that the difficulties were just like in other games :3.

The witcher 2 was a terrible game
