After briefly watching the new pvp gameplay video Don_G found, I realized at the very beginning of the character selection screen, there is a silhouette of the male demon hunter. While it shows us next to nothing as far as his actual looks, it's better than nothing so I thought I would share it with you guys. The only things I can really make out is that he is thinner in build and has medium length hair.
EDIT: It seems that Don has already pointed this out in the video thread but I thought I would give it its own thread to be discussed in.

I remember Jason assuring the females in the crowd at Blizzcon that the male demon hunter would be as sexy as the female.. Now I'm confident enough in my masculinity to judge, and unless you find scoliosis sexy, I'm not seeing it lol. If you do find scoliosis sexy, than the male witch doctor is more your style.. Though it is just a silhouette

For real?
Anyway, selling chars as being sexy is the lamest thing blizzard has ever done. It's so pathetic, that a new word should be invented just to qualify that lameness. As experts say, they did a 'Twilight'.

Scoliosis? Eh no... His left leg is in front and he's probably looking to his right with a slightly hunched demeanor. Prominent lats, flat abs and there you go.
He's not even remotely kyphotic which would be something that could qualify the WD's posture.

I agree that sexiness as a selling point is lame, but they did the same thing in D2. Take the Amazon, Sorce, and Andy for instance lol.
The hunched over posture would certainly set him apart from the male wizard, who has a very straight, leaning on his heals kinda stance. As they've stated having the class'es silhouettes be easily identifiable is very important, makes sense. In game cam I'm sure he'll look great, but from a front on view I don't care how big your lats are (take Bruce Lee for instance!!) you do not hunch over like that. Though again, as said, stance must be over done to be noticed from game cam. :rolleyes:
Edited for terrible grammar.. Been awake for 21 hours X( no more posting lol..

I merely pointed out to you the DH's legs positions, the way he is probably facing and the muscles that are prominent that can make it look like he's scoliotic if you have very poor perception.
But apparently, even with the hints you still can't see it properly.
Incidentally, you know what scoliosis is, right?
Well seeing as the female demon hunter clearly has an emphasis on sexiness, I doubt her counterpart would just be ugly. You can't tell much from the silhouette alone, but he at least looks lean and fit.
I think he's just going to be a normal looking guy, maybe above average looks. Of course, I'm not going to argue if they do make him the most stereotypically handsome guy to ever grace your computer screen because, frankly, I don't care. Most heroes in the fantasy genre are, in fact, very attractive. That's one part of the equation to their appeal. This is mostly because back when the first real fictions were being written, the argument was that there was beauty in purity, so to make purity beautiful is just what they did. A beautiful person goes exterminate hideous monsters. That's how it's always been.
And, please, do not give me anything about the witch doctor. If you want to pick apart my argument, be my guest, but I'm just stating a common justification as to why heroes in fantasy games are often attractive. Please just accept it as it is.
Edit: Of course, if he does end up being white, he better have some sort of scruffy facial hair or I'm going to be so mad.

I'll ignore the part of your post about this, since you're obviously being nit picky. Yes, I know that scoliosis is, thus my mention of the witch doctor and his obvious back problems lol.

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree~
Me being nit picky? That's just hilarious. The word scoliosis is very specific so I thought you knew what you were talking about.
Obviously, you have no sense of observation and you got no idea what scoliosis is.
I called it a determining feature because of the emphasis the creators were putting on it. Sexy, high heels and what not. Did a massive facepalm when Jay Wilson said she was hot in that excited voice coupled with the grin on his face. I guess the comments on youtube saying 'WTF dude, get laid' were only to naturally follow .
It was just as easy to imagine the developers jacking off to DH models instead of working on the game. They seemed like a bunch of pubescent teens who simply couldn't contain themselves.
I think the char's theme is that of an obsessed, dark and revengeful bitch. And I do see it as fitting in the diablo world.
I just disagree with the way she was presented. Lame and pathetic I called it and will still call it. No class at all.
And I'm certainly not questioning the need for visual appeal for game chars either.
whats the big deal with all these sexiness stuff, as long as the DH kick ass i'm happy. im a girl and i wouldn't mind if the male DH isn't good looking or stuff like that because i don't play as male characters in games.
besides, the male wizzard is already really good looking

Have you ever considered that?
Still want him to be black. It doesn't look like I'll get that though. Oh well, one can dream.

I am kinda looking for something specific, though, which is probably not going to happen.
Except, you know, based on the silhouette, the face wouldn't match the goddamn body. So he's probably gonna look like this:
Which is fucking unacceptable.

Anywho, (LMAO) at the second pic Azriel XD
But it being a determining feature in a diablo char is lame as fuck.
No dude. Seriously, no.
