I cannot wait to see a mission in which you run into a den of some native wildlife that you need to defend from the invading demons attempting to destroy this particular "endangered species", like the last uncorrupted wendigos perhaps, they were pretty badass in D2 lol.
Yeah the mission would be given to you by a Green Peace representative who would reward you on completion with a free Mercenary weilding a picket sign reading" SAVE THE WENDIGOS".
.....:confused: Sounds positively thrilling!
Would they however insert uncorrupted wilderness such as "creeps" from Warcraft 3 who are considered part of the world however are neutral so therefor unaligned with either side of the war. This could prove more interesting since they would as likely attack a monster as they would do to you. Kinda adds a level of realism to the usually "empty" world that Sancutary used to be.
I mean if you go back and really take a look at what they gave us in D2, you start to realize that it was utterly deserted. Some people will say," yeah but it's a demon infested world". This could pass in a game such as D1 where the story mainly unfolds in a near deserted town, with a long abandonned horadrim cathedral. However in D2 we visited alot of different areas of wilderness and cities such as Lut Golein with no armies fighting outside, no wild animals or creature aside from monsters.
Most people don't usually mention this, instead they usually point out how happy they were when they reached act V and went through the blood moor, and spotted a few barbarians. Although they were near useless, especially in hell, they made the game that much cooler.

It could be that they've expanded on the Barbarians fighting out in the world idea, which seems likely given the way the trailers pan out and the "mercenaries" that you pick up along the way. It'd be interesting to go to the Amazon's home, for instance (yeah, I know we're not going there), and find them slaughtering away. Even better if they went on quests, that would succeed or fail depending on if you join them or clear their paths or just according to how well they fight and I think I'm getting carried away now.
Anyway, I reckon monsters would be cool, npcs are probably more likely. Both would roxor.

Yes I'm positive that they have expanded on this theme. However......
I don't agree. Monsters are monsters, fluff is fluff (Barbs on Blood Moor), Mercs are Mercs. They are distinctive things and I don't believe that he would go from saying Quote*"It would be naive to think that with all of the creatures, demons, and monsters in the world of Sanctuary that they'd all purely be concerned with killing you and you alone."to actually meaning NPC's and fluff. I doubt it could be interpreted that way, unless rampaging Barbarians and Mercs are now considered creatures/Monsters.

Even if what your talking about is a totally different idea, I think this theme was not forgotten as it used to be a popular feature in Act5, so yeah even if we don't visit this area we will be seeing alot more NPC's on the field. If we can choose to invite them as Mercs that's an issue that will have to be seen in the near future.

I wonder if this will impact the game-play at all? I mean, if the monsters are distracted, maybe you can sneak by them, or use it to your advantage and get the first hit? In D2 act 5, you could do both of those depending on the situation. On the other hand, you didn't really need to...i saw it as basically an aesthetics thing, just there for effect. But it would be nice to see more AI. I wasn't wild about how the barbs in act 5 often got stuck "patrolling" walls and cliffs if you killed their attackers. That sorta killed the effect. It was like "hey man, i just saved your life, and you repay me by running back and forth in front of a cliff?"

Stay.
You don't always know where you stand,
'Till you know that you won't run away.
There's something inside me that feels...
Like breathing in sulfur.
Did anyone else got the impression they are doing the inventory in a way like itunes browsing of cds? You know with the item in focus beeing resized, and others slightly smaller.
The monsters part seems cool! It adds new strategy, and who knows what demon will ask us to quest for him just like good old D1

Well, maybe the monsters don't get along with eachother, just like how some players don't get along. I can imagine that demons are probably pretty focused on pride, so maybe they are fighting over who gets to be the one to fight off the next adventurer? In the other Diablo games, the will of the demons isn't always totally clear, so maybe it will be explained, but maybe not.
