Name: Daniel the Unpredictable

Class: Barbarian

World: Sanctuary

Weapons: Daniel caries two swords A War Sword and a Crystal Sword he inherited his swords from his father who was a great warrior and deffender of Harrogoth. The Smaller War Sword was enchanted with the power of Lightning while the Crystal Sword was enchanted with the powers of Cold and the ability to sap the life of those it wounds. The magic blades have been passed down in his family for generations and as the only son to hsi father before his fall in battle Daniel inherited both weapons.

Appearence: Daniel is considered short for a barbarian (as his mother was not of barbarian blood) he is 5'10'' of solid build very musular and has long dark brown hair and a long dark brown beard down to the middle of his chest and braided down the middle. Daniel's powerful limbs and body lend themselves greatly to his brutal fighting style which consists of pure power over skill though he has planty of both

Home World: Sancutary (more specificaly Harrogoth)

Bio: Daniel was grief stricken after the death of his father and set out on an advenure to help ease his mind. Along the way he met a powerful Paladin named Mayo. Mayo was a bit younger than Daniel and he chased a dark wonderer claiming he was the cause of evil however along the way they always seemed to jsut miss the party who was responsible for slaying great demons. The team finally caught up at Daniel's old home town to help combat the invasion. They played a Key role in keeping Daniel's old home safe and gaining him entry back into his family after his deserting right before their time of need. Mayo and Daniel to this day always travel together.

Mayo the Protector

Class: Paladin

Weapons: Mayo caries a short sword and a buckler unlike most paladins he prefers chain armor to plated armor for the increased mobility. His sword is brightred and enchanted with Fire as to make it more effective against dry undead flesh. He also caries a Golden Buckler he calls the Mighty Meek, because while the sheild is small and unimposing it is said to be indistructable and also very useful as a weapon with the small bladed gem in the middle of the shield. He also carries a Crossbow with him in order to take care of far away enemies if neccessary.

Appearence: Mayo is a tall (6'2'') light skinned man who like to keep his hair nearly shaved as he hates his curly hair (brown) He is rather slender for a warrior, but his lean muscle lends itself to his rather agile over brute force fighting style.

Bio: Daniel was a proud paladin from Westmarch. He traveled the land looking to commit random acts of kindness and proctect the weak of the world. He has killed many a bandit and saved many a farmer or merchant. He even trained and organized a team of watchmen for a small village and then helped them fend off a group of raiders who promised their return. Mayo heard of rumors of a dark wonderer said to bring up demons in his wake. It was on his advanture to destroy these foul monsters that he ran into Daniel a barbarian seeking glory on the battlefield. Early on the two didn;t get along as Daniel was liek his name burst into random bouts of unpredictable violence which Mayo has said make shim look like a whirlwind of death to any that stand in his way friend and foe alike. Over time Mayo's levelheadedness has seemingly spread to Daniel or Danny as Mayo calls him. The two have come unseperable and are said to have played a huge role in keeping Harrogoth safe durring Baal's invasion. Some even say the two played a role in defeating Baal himself!

The way I see the marauder.... he is similar to a wild beast with human intelligence. He can morph into animals and get aid from spiritual guides that enables him to enhance his strength, agility and speed. He is all about nature, he has a strong connection with the American Indian culture and the Russian culture. He is in other words a survivor, not a pure combatant. His best weapons are his finesse and dexterity to control his surrounding environment. With the marauder, you can chose 2 distinct paths. You either invest into close combat techniques/spells and become an enraged wild beast or you chose to become a pure ranged scavenger which kills using numerous ranged weapon (bows, crosbows, thrown daggers, harpons ...). You can also choose to be both. There will be no traps involved as it slows the game too much. D3 is supposed to be even faster than D2 so I guess that anything that demands preparation needs to be put away.

So. If I can put some cultures/regions for each character according to what I currently know :

Barbarian = Irish, Celtic
Witch Doctor = Haiti, Africa
Wizard= Asia
Zealot = Middle East
Marauder = America (American Indian part) and Russia (endured and physical warrior part)

I'd say barbarian has very visable Scandinavian roots as well with the whole living in the cold along with his very ritualistic winged and horned helms same as vikings wore, though I do see the early Germanic thane(esque) apeal that he has

The idea of a Thane was making me think
Thane- Nobel worrior who works for old germanic kings/warrlords and had very direct roles in combat. Could be combined with Druid or some other form of Magic to make a semi-paladin
the thane could have three skill trees
Leadership - Mix of offensive and deffensive auras as well as other moves that either imcompasitate or help the party as a whole rather than the thane himself
Combat Skills - More direct combat moves mix of Barbarian moves and Paladin moves from D2 possibly infused with nature magic in some way
Power - Possible Buffs like battle crys or even an aura or 2 that wouldn't fit in the above categories a mix of attacks infused with nature magic, and nature magic on its own possibly even a summor or two. If you REALLY want it maybe a transformation, though I wouldn't want it personally i see how it could fit

Have to agree his look is dead on either Manson or if he won't get Gene Simmons because hes comfortable in lots of makeup haha

I'd love to help, but sadly I'm only an idea man I have no experience with any of that stuff next semester I'm looking to take soem gamign class that generally covers a lot of stuff but my guess is it won't make me anymore useful sorry

Thats my wallpaper right now! I need that shirt thats exactly what i said when i saw them wearing them durrign an interview!

1.) Iron Maiden the best and most influential metal band ever
2.) In Flames
3.) CKY (Camp Kill Yourself) best american band ever
4.) Sonota Arctica very different power metal band that most girls end up liking due to their romantic lyrics overall a great band
5.) Edguy a power metal band that don't take themselves too seriously and are just really fun

I;ve been looking into a PSP for several games for my long comute home and back to school, and D2 would make it a must buy haha

I strongly disagree with this review if anyone wants to see a review I agree with go to Newgrounds.com and search for Irod Bad

I'm bit sad with the wizard. I expected something more criative. . . This wiz is just the old fantasy wizard coming out direct from D&D =(
Theres alot of ''wizardry'' concept out there waiting to be used in games and ppl insist to do the same old things 100 times...

For the new classes ? I expect nothing good. A Archer mixed with something and a Knight mixed with something. The ''archetyple'' philosophy are terrible suck in my opnion. It only kills the game's ''unicness'' (lol don't even kno if this word exist).

a Unic is a castrated male slave used to protect a harem so that they wouldn't have their way with the women... i dunno how or why you think the game is a castrated slave...

Quote from "Dauroth" »

Those are holes from which Diablo shoots anti-aircraft missiles on people who are saying that he isn't what he is: DIABLO!

So what you're telling us is diablo is some kind of ultimate demon version of the goliath from starcraft?

Do you think armor will have minus effects as well as adds?? i play barb i always have and ive always dreamed for a barb in leather armor cause that was how i wanted to play him but alas d2 didnt really account for this cause it was all about wearing the strongest armor... especially for barb. So to my point do you think that the heavier armor will have minuses for dexterity?? I think it would add to the strategy if it did.

I never thought about that, but that could make customization much deeper, and thus make this constant bitching about auto stats even more pointless than it already is

I'll give you a shortlist
1.) Fallout 3
2.) Wait till the 18th for Left 4 Dead
3.) MGS4 (I wish i came otu for 360, but its only one drawback haha)
4.) Resistance 2 is getting decent reviews
5.) Dead Space (if you like survival horror)

You can find that info once blizzard releases it

^^ and they'll tell you black is really white, the moon is just the sun at night, and when you walk through golden halls you get to kee the gold that falls. It's Heaven and Hell
