It's nice to know that you can now choose a male and female version of all the classes but what about the looks? I tlhink it would be nice to be able to change the way your character looks. I don't know about the rest of you, but I really don't want to be running around with the exact same look as everyone else. I loved the look options in WoW so i'm hoping that they will bring that feature over into Diablo 3. Hairstyles, skin color, etc.
In the FAQ for Diablo 3 it says:
What's new about Diablo III compared to the previous Diablo games?
Exciting new classes like the witch doctor bring new gameplay options to the table. Returning classes, like the barbarian, have been completely redone with new skills to give them a feel unique to Diablo III. New customization options will provide for an even greater level of character specialization than the previous Diablo games, allowing the player to create unique characters brimming with power.
I'm hoping that this means we will be able to changes the looks of our characters rather then looking like every other player out there.
They haven't speculated on this but I don't think so. WoW's options were pretty limited for an MMO and being an action-RPG, character customization doesn't fall under the most important issues for this game. It would be nice but it doesn't bother me much.
Honestly. At first I thought I didn't want there to be any customization, just keep it as it was in Diablo 2. Then that horrible comparison of the barbarian to an orc in WoW came to mind. I don't want that beard/hair and the hair color he has. Sigh.
More options just give that extra feel that the character you're playing is more "yours". I don't want to look the same as everyone else. That's boring. REALLY boring. Call me spoiled by WoW but it's the little things that add up to make a big differance.
Most of the body and face get covered up by armor for a lot of the classes anyway, I would assume, so either way it doesn't really matter to me. However, give us tons of choices for equipment, and let THAT set us apart from another.
I would be happy if they added customizations like this, but I wouldn't be disappointed if they didn't either. We will all look different depending on the equipment that we use.
yeah, would kinda be wasted resources in my opinion. I mean don't get me wrong I love character customization, but you get covered in armor pretty quickly and then you don't get to see any of that customized detail anyways.
I think it would be a better use of art resources to provides lots and lots of visual armor options, since thats what you'll actually be seeing.
that said, I like how both the characters you can really see at this point look. back in d2 I woulda traded all my gold to a barber to chop off the ridiculous ponytail that the barbarian was sporting. but you know, back to my original point: I had to look at that ponytail for all of 5 minutes until I picked up my first cracked cap and then I never saw it again.
I love customization, but it just makes more sense to have more armor options than face options you'll rarely get to see.

Yea, would be really nice to choose your face then people can see it with the POV that high.

If you would have watched the gameplay video you would have seen the new zoom feature. They zoom in really close and you could clearly see the faces.
