I kind of think it would be cool if we customize our characters that on the Barbarian we could choose from some tattoos or make our own^_^.

I really don't want to see custom tattoos. People will be running around with phalllic symbols on their foreheads or My Little Pony tattoos on their back.
Not to mention it wouldn't matter because armor would cover it.
I think the extent of customization is likely to be male or female.
Part of me thinks thats a good idea, but then again there will be literally millions of male barbarians running around and they will all be identical. Im not saying have customization as freely as WOW, but a little variety wouldn't hurt in my opinion.
Customization is in the gear. It covers you from head to toe. No choices would be visible most likely.
Besides, as freely as WoW? It had very little customization overall. Very basic stuff. A couple face choices, a couple hair choices, maybe some markings or jewelry. To the extent that if a character was fully geared you couldn't tell them apart anyways.
It wouldn't do anything as it would all be covered. No one would look different due to customization of the face or something. I'd rather the focus be on the game, not making mohawks, getting the right pink tones for the pig tails or letting me choose if I'm a black norse man or a suepr pale norseman. None of it matters, none of it will be seen, all that will distinguish you is what gear your wearing and thats always been enough for me. I could always tell people apart at a glance in d2 unless they were exactly geared. And even if they were exactly geared. . I couldn't see anything else about them for it to matter.
Also of note, even if you, say, have the helmet off? the top down perspective isn't going to let much of that tattoo face be seen as people run past you. Where as in games like WoW your literally much closer to people most of the time, and its mre a social, build your own unique character. These characters in Diablo are going to be someqhat unique, but its also to the point where its not a hugely detailed RPG where you design everything of your character.
We already know something about them, who they are. They ahve voices, they speak, we are playing them ,we are not creating them from scratch.
this would be interesting. i think it would be a pretty good idea actually because ppl would seem like they are from different tribs/clans rather than everyoen looking the same. i dont think blizzard doing this though because it would probably distract from the point of the game.

Good idea, but like what Daemaro said, the tatoos are only gonna get covered up. But perhaps you could customize your armor? Dye it, add symbols to it etc.
all they need is something like a cape or cloak that you can customize, because you can see that over your armor. that way a clan or guild could all wear matching capes or something. I believe guildwars implemented this.
You know, Skin Color isn't even going to be customizeable. Super pale witch doctor? dark, dark barbarian? Doesn't fit with the lore or the characters. Especially since the barbarian is supposed to be a returning character.
No, there isn't going to be big customization. I don't even think color coding armor or adding symbols. That would require the armor to be simplified so that you could do this. Flat areas for symbols to go, simple, two or one tone color schemes.
I like the crap blizzard makes. I don't need to see a bunch of people doign things just to be obnoxious. People are bitching so hard right now that it isn't dark enough. I say instead make sure that things like this never get implimented. Its this stuff that will screw up the theme and feel.
Oh, and as for cloaks or capes for guilds? Why? You can probably get a tag section that you can alter that will go before all your names with battlenet 2. Capes for clans or guilds or whatever you want to call them? How does that fit into diablo?
Thats in big MMO's because its thematic to have these groups band together. Especially guildwars. In diablo you don't have some guild coming together. You have a barbarian from the highlands, a witch doctor from the jungle and the like. They aren't exactly matching pairs. They are fighting and end up coming upon eachother and stick tgether out of necessity. They don't take the time to charter up a guild and its name and go out, embroidering cloaks so they can all match and show to the world their part of some clique.
Daemaro is right after reading everyone's reply's I would say that they choose from 7 or so face tatoo's (according to the tribe they choose and so that eliminates customization)... but after they choose their tribal tatoo it would be awesome if blizzard showed some tattooist barb putting a face tatoo on your barb in like a movie scene at the begging of game.
P.s. the movie would show the exact tatoo being well.. tatooed.^_^

lol, good point. I'm never too thrilled to hear about character customization in games anyway. But a tag section for names would be nice.
