Yeah...I cant really picture being a character with 2 .45 colts and a cowboy hat What would the skills for the character be? lol I mean, maybe the skills can be like Gun mastery ---> increase damage when using skills, but that sounds a little too much like the marines in Starcraft.

So....if I were a blizzard employee given whats already been put on the table, this is how I would make the game:
Skills can be assigned to A,D,S,F simillar to nox.
Classes: Fighters name changed to Brawler. Brawler Skills: Offensive Stance: Increases attack rating and adds attack damage.
Defensive Stance: Increases defense and chance to block.
(each stance is an entirely different stance, not the same animation. once activated skill stays on until its turned off. only one stance can be in use at a time.)
They could make it so that when you transfer your character into the game, you get a bonus instead of playing with them. For instance, lets say you transfer in a high level necromancer or something. Later in the game, you could get a necro specific quest from your original character. Each of the original 7 characters would have a unique quest and they could make it so that you would have had to at least beat diablo 2 with that character to recieve it. I think it would be an awesome idea.
+1 for my idea
umm....+0 for your idea.
Having that idea incorporated in d3 would throw off the story and gameplay. Not to mention all new diablo fans that start playing d3 right off the bat would be lost and confused, loosing interest in d3. Blizzard knows this and would not do it.

Why do you all care so much about that "loading d2 characters into d3"!?
Maybe if he now played the demo it was just a feature in the demo so demo testers could test the chars with good items and high level etc!
If they did bring the old characters they way they were, into D3, it would not be a great game due to the fact that you will start the game with a level 89 character. That would be less challenging then starting a new game. If they have the feature of transferring d2 characters into d3, that would surely be the outcome.

I personally think that the chronomancer wouldn't be that hard to conjure up either. His slow time can be just like the necromancers decrepify. I do hope their is more characters then these five. The info about loading d2 characters is crap, but like I said earlier, if d3 reintroduce them into the game with new looks and skills, that would be cool. Just think, we get to see a female necromancer or a male assassin.

Enjoy!
Anyways, how about the other characters that ryan has mentioned. I personally like the idea of the templar and warlock.
Templar would be a nice carry-on from the Paladin.
The Warlock that controls the earth it seems...would be interesting to build.
