hes a smart one! throwing them big words around haha...well you can have that opinion, but i honestly find it very wrong...and so does EVERYONE else....so i think its safe to say blizzard is doing a fine job!
what you dont seem to understand is that you dont need something to be epic to be good... Diablo 2 was awesome as it was because its as though ur hero has risen above out of the small cities and towns and taken out diablo. like you were the worlds secret protector as the planet at the time appeared to be quite sparse with people
Num3n, I understand what you are saying. Things changed alot. But think:
Would hate those artworks if you never new what was D1/D2 ?
This paranoia about D3 must follow execly the same steps as D2 will only bring frustration.
The game creators are making D3 the way they feel it's going to be better, not the way it would be if blizz north were making it. If they need to burn all concepts created in D1 and D2 to make a good D3 they will surely do it.
Obviously you don't like this new style, but ppl do and you must respect it =)
Man when i think where was the coolest places in D2 i just remenber the entrace of the monastery, andariel's room, the act 2 palace, the place were you met Taryel after beat Durial, the portal after killing mephisto, the entrace and the pentagram platform in chaos sanctuary, the arreat summit and the throne of desctrution. What those places/buildings have in comon ? They are all huge. And when i saw the WWI move i just realise how the very first dungeon in D3 beated allmost everything i saw in D2.
Are you kidding? I love how everything looks. It looks more post-apocolyptic and chaotic. And Caldeum proabably looks the best out of everything so far. Kind of the first major city we've seen.

The background story to Caldeum is very intriguing as well. I like the idea of its independence being threatened by supposed elites.

It sure is!!! They are really giving us a lot more backstory and depth to each and every aspect to this entry in the game when compared to the last two.....
The architecture of the game now reminds me FAR more of the lord of the rings than diablo.
Is being like LOTR a bad thing?? Only the most epic books/movies ever....imo...

I think we all need to relax ... Diablo 3 will make us wet ourselves either way with it's awesomeness.
Couldn't agree more!
And so what if they are amping things up a bit...Diablo has always been EPIC...and the way things look it will continue to be epic...No reason it can't be more epic, or epic in different aspects.

He arrives precisely when he means to."

Hey ... if the buildings are this "epic", just thing how amazing all the loot will be.
Yeah im hoping the end game isnt a pile of pallys running around in green nd purple armor with little hats on again lmfao...seriously tho i bet this time around gear will surely look uber
Like many, I enjoy the new epic scale. I'm certain the devs of the original Diablo would have liked to do some of these things as well, but the technology to represent it in-game simply didn't exist back then.

no amount of magic would help.. sure you could blast pieces off but to get those huge pillars? i dont think so
Think outside the box...

Seriously. If Inarius had the power to create Sanctuary, and Uldyssian, a human, managed to beat him, then carving a city from the mountainside shouldn't be impossible at all.
But then again, you don't accept the books either, so I guess this point won't hold any weight with you.
END SPOILER
We can take another example. Travincal, the very centre of the entire Zakarum religion, which has stood in the same place for centuries, is represented in-game as nothing more than a few houses, and nothing reaches above two floors. However the Mayans built much more massive things, and they didn't have any magic to help them out.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
I like the architecture. It is, indeed, different from DII style or DI style, but it's not similar to LotR. And what do you mean by that, the movie? The movie doesn't look anything like it.
yeah man this game isnt taking place in the history of our planet, it never was.. it doesnt have to be realistic to our history, games have changed and you should let the devs be creative with their game. after all the game is becoming so dynamic now gameplay and look, why not let them be more dynamic with the environment?
I think more than the buildings, a point brought up by a poster above me is something I'm hoping for more.
And that is, there won't be an item, or items that are "the best". I'm looking at you Shako, HoZ, and all your other constantly used equips. I'd much rather have a plethora of "best" items.
Num3n, I understand what you are saying. Things changed alot. But think:

no i wouldnt hate the new artwork if that sort of stuff was in d1 and d2 because then there would be continuity. the way it is now there is barely any...

*as for some reason i cannot edit my previous post here is another one.
anyways no LOTR is fucking awesome and i agree with you there. but the thing you dont seem to understand is that you cant just use the same formula lotr used to make everything epic and awesome... diablo should remain similiar to what the d1 and d2 games layed out as canon and they should follow and have heaps of continuity between d1 d2 and now d3

I agree....and besides its not like we saw enough of sanctuary in the last 2 games to determine how it should look anyways....
