I was just wondering if anyone else thought that the Heros seem to appear unecessarily bright. I don't mean that the character models are too vivid and colorfull... but rather it looks like there is always a spotlight shining right above them. It makes them "pop" out of the environment slightly, giving the impression that they don't exactly belong there.
I think it would be nice if shadows moved accross their bodies as they pass by various light sources. They would flicker under torchlight and become shrouded in near-complete darkness in rooms without any light. Perhaps this is a no-brainer and Blizzard has planned to do this all along but for some reason could not demonstrate it during the grand unveiling. I would like to think so. It would be a shame if all the characters were lit up as if they were in direct sunlight all the time...
Since the game has moved to 3D, you might think it was only natural to expect the visibility of the character models to be influenced by lights in the game environment. Can anyone think of any reasons why a fully lit character would be necessary choice?
(on a side note... i appreciate all the hard work the artists have put into the game already.. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed this brightness issue as well and if there were any reasons why Blizzard might keep it that way?)

Honestly I don't recall so many people bitching about Diablo II's art before it launched. I don't know what is it with this generation that people suddenly want the game catered to their individual needs. Just sit back, shut the fuck up, and wait til you see the final game before you make judgments.
Honestly, no, people just like bitching about every little thing.
The thing looks god damned fine to me, it even brings out more detail on your character which will be nice when you get your nice gear..

"And the Evil that was once vanquished shall rise anew! Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent, and terror shall consume they that dwell upon the earth! The sky shall rain fire, and the seas will become as blood! The righteous shall fall before the wicked, and the lord of creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!"
-Mephisto
Yes and no. It's just something to talk about. Obviously you don't want to participate...
SO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
yes he is the same barbarian, and how old are you 16? "so get the hell out of here..." wow. if you have to complain about every single thing about a game you have never played maybe you should go play a different game.
Guys, please stop bitching about the graphics. The fucking Alpha testing hasnt even begun so much is going to change. Wait till the beta atleast to start complaining.

I threw together an example of what the game currently looks like vs. what I would expect to see if this bloom/brightness was removed: http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/5954/d3barbhw7.jpg

Yes he is, the developers said that in a interview.
lol... no he ISN'T.
*similar*, but not the *same*. Obviously.
And that includes hair color...
What are you talking about the barbarian in D2 was bald... and the one in D3 is old and has white hair, people age you know.
