Not too bad of an interview, I'd say.

seems that they'll give us a rpg full of action, viceral action, but this time with a deep story, like a good rpg must be, be prepared to see somethig bigger than final fantasy, or god of war,or the previews diablos, or whatever you've seen about envolving game story:thumbsup:

Too bad it's not a Video Interview.. thx anyway

$%#$ where can I buy this game now!?!... oh wait nvm :rolleyes:

It's an obvious improvement from the previous games, but I'm still glad to hear they're going to do it. When you look at SC or even WC you can easily find memorable protagonists from the story (like Zeratul, Kerrigan, Arthas, Malfurion, etc.), but looking at Diablo the only thing you find are antagonists or NPCs (The Butcher, Lazarus, Tyrael, Diablo, etc.). Sure we remember all of the classes' from both games, but we like never got to actually know them, like who are they in the first place, what's their past and why are they doing this. I think it's about time they give the main classes a personality of their own.

I can feel a nerdgasm coming on... That was an interesting interview, I like the fact that there will be books of lore in the game. Hopefully some books will lead to side quests

Quote from Leonard's interview:

"There will be no non-combat skills." HRM?!

Does this mean: no Enchant, no Auras, no Masteries, and in essence.. no intricacy to the new gameplay? Just "use this skill to hit things" or "use this skill infect things with locusts". :-(

This is getting scary to me. Hopefully I'm interpreting this way wrong...

I was thinking it meant no "staff recharge" "self item repair" "disarm trap" skills ala Diablo 1.

They should still have auras / ect if they make a class that needs them because I'd still consider them combat skills, even if they are passive... but you never know!

One of our main goals is to not force the story on the player -- it's there if the player wants it. It's our job to make the player want it...

I like this guy.

We dont want a heal skill on some class do we?

How about a spell that does massive damage to undead monsters but also heals if directed to a friendly player? That wouldn't be too bad?

Quote from "Kenzai" »

Just no "heal" spell that has absolute no offensive or combat oriented use.

Like the Heal Other spell?

Not a single non-combat skill?
