    Capitano666 posted a message on Leah (Spoilers)
    Quote from GeNMaKB

    Why, at the beginning of the game, does Leah refuse to believe the Prophecy of the End Days? Why does she refer to everything Cain says as "just stories"?

    She thought that the Skeleton King was a fucking folktale. Are you serious? Cain was in Tristram during the worst of it and bore witness to a great many unspeakable atrocities. He watched the people he grew up with die horrible deaths. He himself was the last man alive in Tristram, held prisoner by demons! He followed the heroes of Diablo II in their attempt to vanquish the Lords of the Burning Hells once and for all. He stood in the Pandemonium Fortress for fucks sake. He met Tyrael himself! An Archangel! Leah herself has visions of the Eternal Conflict, as we saw in the introduction cinematic of Diablo III. Leah travelled much of Sanctuary with Cain as she was growing up, and bore witness to a lot of strange shit, including skeletons. It's possible that skeletons are typical in Sanctuary but I just can't believe that Cain didn't explain anything about what he has been through and what he has seen.

    What does everyone here think?

    As I see it:
    She of course did believe in the historical events regarding Old Tristram.
    She didn't believe the tales about Horadrims and Nephelems, the profecy of the end time and the ethernal conflict. The vision she had in the opening cinematic might have been interpreted just as a nightmare and she didn't realize Tyrael was indeed an angel before the Act 1 closing cinematic.

    Living in a world with walking skeletons doesn't necessarily means you have to believe angels.

    Quote from Ducha

    TL;DR: Deckard Cain's death sucked.
    Agreed, but to be honest I believe the Act 1 end cinematic makes up for it (you know, Leah realizing it wasn't all just stories and deciding to follow his legacy).

    Quote from Atrumentis

    Yeah, I hand drew it, scanned it 11 times (6 scans of A4 plus 5 for overlapping), then put it all together in photoshop. The background was made by hand too (tea-staining).

    :o
    Nice job indeed!

    Capitano666 posted a message on RNG in D3 is not true random
    Quote from gamerky

    If it were true RNG then the ratio for "usable vs trash" would be close to even.

    Sorry but no, the game isn't rolling "usable vs trash", it is randomly rolling the ilvl, the affixes number, the affixes themselves (from a pool of many useless ones) and, in the end, the actual values.

    It is quite clear, statistically, that the vast majority of items will be vendor trash.

    Quote from Capitano666

    So apparently most weapons are considered crappy just because of the low dps even though the stats are good.

    Well I would have thought that would be pretty obvious - they made the decision to scale ALL damage off your weapon damage so in importance of stat ordering on a weapon #1 - #10 is damage and around #11 you can start to ask the question of "does it have any other stats?"

    See "Grim Hellion Crossbow of X" with no other stats but 1400 dps selling for 5M+ on US.

    Of course, but it's not really original nor funny for a "hall of shame" ;)
