I haven't actually played the beta, but it looks like D3 has some of the dark atmosphere of D1, that D2 had absolutely none of. In particular I'm thinking of the sound design in the crypts, if I remember correctly it has the same ambient-type music from D1. Can anyone who played D1 and D3-beta comment on this?
Ok that's good. I was watching a game-play video and on the character selection screen it said:
Act 1
A Shattered Crown
Normal Difficulty
Thinking "A Shattered Crown" was the name of Act 1, I saw the end of the beta and thought it might also be the end of the Act. Good to hear it's longer than that.
D1 wasn't as potion happy as D2, so maybe it will be more along those lines? But yeah I could see a potion cooldown, maybe only like 10-30 seconds so you could still be using them a lot, but not as much as D2.
Trag'Oul was also mentioned in the Sin War books. At one point Trag'Oul was going to enter Sanctuary but was stopped. I think he mentions that he entered Sanctuary once in the past. Anyway I don't think it's on his back if he can enter Sanctuary, unless he can be in 2 places at once.
