Considering what little choices there are I think Sanctuarys pretty good. I really got into the premiere and that guy christopher heyerdahl is a good actor,
he plays the dude in the black trench coat.

Awesome. All the info today was incredible. xD
I wanted to ask the guys if they could take a picture of the male version wizard.

Lol. Just remember that 90% of the time a female character will be some dude, 'nuff said.

Fuck yeah!

It's part one, maybe they will add to it :confused:

Lol that's the first thing I thought when I saw it.
Tremors and Diablo go good together... very good.

Full speed? Pffftt.

Lol j/k. But really I hope D3 doesn't come in 2010.
That'll just sound a little ridiculous. xD

Good. If they put in leech everyone will just swarm to get it since there are no pots.

Rofl, I didn't know Blunderbores swung around dead bodies. o.O
And wewt, He mentioned nude succubi. But I don't Blizzard will do that though, lol.

I'm glad they gave some attention to character customization. Boots, gloves, shoulders, etc.. all changing the look of the character and he said they're going to be very varied too. I'm happy to hear this. xD

Shit everyone will be middle aged by the time, rofl. Or beyond. o.O
But yea that would be cool. I mean it was the most popular online game for a time.

Now that's what I mean when I say "Interactive Penalty". To be honset what akse said reminds of the FPS game "Prey", where you have a few seconds to strike souls (Red ones for Health and Blue ones for Energy) when you die and when the time's up, you are sent back to the normal world with as much health and mana that you managed to catch... although the feature was executed horribly in that game... there is alot of room for improvements in that concept.

But on the other hand... the problem is that Diablo's universe do not support the concept of "Afterlife", "Realm of the dead" or that kind of stuff. Plus I think that a minigame like that could get boring in time if it doesn't vary.

I remember that from Prey! That was so cool and innovative. Especially with the idea that you return with the amount of health and mana you earned to keep from your "death experience". I really think they could so something with that. But yeah it'd have to be something that doesn't get too boring.

- Like walking down a very dark hallway and avoiding apparitions, I don't know.
- How about simply becoming an invisible (or slightly visible) specter after death, I'm not sure what you could possibly do afterwards besides float around but it leaves room for ideas.
- Or maybe see the course of your death in slow motion, just so you can feel bad. xD

And then of course there's June 29th 2009.
2009 makes Diablo it's 12 birthday. 1 + 2 = 3, Diablo 3.
D2 and LOD both released on June 29th, and D3 premiered on June 28th.
If not June then surely 2009 for birthdays sake.

I always liked Adam from G4, he reminds me a little of Tommy Tallarico from Electric Playground.
He's a critic who just gets to the dirty truth in an even handed way.

I agree with him totally here. People are being narcissistic and just overly fussy, not to mention a little stupid. It's old news that one of the reasons D3 is more colorful & bright is to see a lot of the action, make it distinguishable and to show off a lot of the effects. Isn't he right about the people complaining? They're unfair and are really afraid of change. They conveniently forget about act one, Kurast, etc. I mean the criticism is only good to a certain extent, then it gets stupid and out of control. Like for example D3 could look more darker and gothic, but not to the point of having the old light radius that blackens out a majority of the screen.

The WoW resemblance is dead on, or is it just being confused with the slightly cartoony vibe Blizzard has always went with. What does D3 have to be a bad game just because you don't like it? It annoys when people can't enjoy something different or new. You guys just need to appreciated were even getting a Diablo 3 and how much hard work they're putting into it. And again I think the complaints against the artwork were for the most part unreasonable and harsh.

You guys pretty much got it down.

1) A magic based class
2) Supportive type class
3) Range based class

But what form and shape they will take, I have no idea. One can only hope for what they want. ;o
I won't be surprised if there's another melee based class. I mean the Barbarian can't be the only one, could he?

The only reason I wanted selectable dialogue was to have more of the lore, storyline or quests explained in a casual manner rather than some bodyless narrator doing that for you, which that alone I think is worth it. It's optional too, if you don't care about lore or getting to know a different sides of the story, bestiary, quests, etc then just skip it. For example say your able to get different rewards for a quest depending on what you say, that's pretty good no?

I got this idea from Baldur's Gate 2, which is an amazing game that I think Blizzard should borrow some elements from. Obviously you could choose what to talk about in the previous Diablo games but not what to say. I agree that all that VO work could be too much, but even incorporating a little could help.. it might be worth it. Besides I'm seeing Blizzard using this in Starcraft 2's single player campaign, why not Diablo 3. I think this could add a lot more replay value, enrich the storyline a bit and get a different experience depending on how you navigated through your story path.

Think reputation would be too much? Would it require too much upkeep and take away the fun? Or can it add more things to do in the D3 world. Like how well you performed your quest, if you fought with style, etc. Maybe it could be a way to lessen flames and swearing, I dunno. What do you think?
