So earlier I made the same thread, except for Hell.
Was just thinking, why not make one for Heaven as well?
So anywho, in the diablo games Heaven hasn't played a large role, the occasional angel here and there and thats about it.
But Blizzard has been throwing ideas around about making Heaven much more relevant in D3, which leads me to wonder, what will the D3 version of Heaven be like ?
Do you think it will be the biblical Heaven that most people are familiar with, or will it be more of a mirror image of Hell, except less chaotic, and more orderly ?
Will Heaven be a place for good souls to go and live out eternity, or will those souls be prepared for the coming conflict against Hell ?
Also, how do you want the angels to be portrayed ?
Do you want them to be protectors of humanity, or as less benevolent beings, more concerned with the defeat of Hell ?
Personally, I can see them having a Heaven that is more like a mirror image of hell, than the biblical Heaven. No doubt it will be a much nicer place than Hell, but it will still be concerned with eradicating the other side, instead of protecting humanity.
Anywho, how do you want D3 Heaven to be ?
And I don't just mean aesthetics, how do you want Heaven to function, what types of denizens are there, ect.
Also, feel free to discuss any other facets of Heaven in D3, if you've got a question about it, post it here.
I'd also like to ask for people to not mention religion in our world, this thread is about Heaven in the world of Diablo, not Heaven as seen by christians/muslims/ect. Talking about religion often leads to a flame war, so please refrain from mentioning it.

Well, I wouldn't say 'heavenly' so much as 'orderly'. Hell is absolute chaos, and Heaven is absolute order. So yeah, symmetry and mirrors everywhere. Nothing out of place or scattered. And if we were fighting angels, they would come at us in perfectly timed squadrons.
No!! This could be great!!!
At first i thougt this was cheesy, but then I realized it totally makes sense!
The popular image a heaven I think is lots and LOTS of white clouds every where.
I want to hear the HARP!! Nice soooooooft music in the background and a few guys with nice bright white angelic wings fighting off fiends similar to act five in haragroth (sp? lol) Diablo2.

So like a seige of Heaven?
Would be pretty neat to travel there, and find it under seige by the forces of Hell ^^.
I don't think it will be all cloudy, it will probably be lush, flowing green meadows and hills, with rivers and flowers. Basically a paradise.

I'm pretty sure the idea behind the angelics and demonics is order versus chaos, therefor whereas Hell in Diablo is chaotic fire and flame, ultimate distorting darkness, and absolute pandemonium, Heaven should be the exact opposite- pristine, clean, orderly, and sanctified. This does not mean "fluffy" and "happy"- order is somewhat of an opposite of gaiety, flamboyance, and bliss- it is order. Not bliss, but complete hierarchy and with all seriousness. Think of stark white against marble pillars, slight variation in the skies hues, ornate golden embroidery, gleaming parapets, streamlined towers and walls, et cetera. As far as I know, Heaven and the angels therein is never described with "happy, gleeful, cheerful". That's my opinion.
I really can't possibly conceive what Heaven might look like, especially in a game. It almost strikes me as a place that would be beyond comprehension so if your character were to go there, they would be very disoriented. I don't know why necessarily I think it would be like this, but I refuse to think of it as some sort of cloud like city.
And I don't think it should have to be brightly lit. I think if you were to encounter any NPCs there, they would speak in riddles as their view of reality would be so skewed from our own, nothing they would say would really make sense. I think the High Heavens could potentially be as excruciating as the Burning Hells. Cause both are not meant for mortals to casually stroll in.

Very true imo. Heaven as a flying city is so freaking cheesy.
I don't know why, but i think heaven should look like a expanded version of the Pandemonium fortress.
I think the music should be like... um... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Joc9ysoA74
When I listen to that I always imagine a Diablo Heaven... its like breathing almost
If Hell is pure death/decay/torture and pain, then Heaven should be living
I would view the place as not being clouds or even grandiose architecture, but built on light... not in a cheesy flying cloud city way though. Tyraels wings are built on light
And like Hell, there would be different parts of Heaven, we've already seen the outskirts would be like the Pandemonium Fortress
In my heaven. There are super attractive naked babes everywhere. Some with wings and glowing skins and such.
Quoted For Truth.
There would also be beer fountains and cake.
In all seriousness though, a white cloudy heaven that is flying in the sky would be lame. I think it should be more stone or steel that is very sleek and minimalistic. It should also be very symmetrical, not random.

haha. :thumbsup:
But seriously, in my heaven it would also be mirror image of hell. Except it would be bright and vibrant. Grass, flowers, bunny's hopping around, butterfly's flying around (lawl) blue cloudless sky, angels walking around and stuff. Basically a beautiful place.

That's how I visualize it as well. The floors should almost glow.
