In fact, Diablo's lore is pretty unoriginal. Besides the framework itself, it's just religious mythology with some fantasy mixed in.
That's a pretty bold statement my friend. But I won't even get into why I disagree with you calling it unoriginal, because I have a 0.0000% chance of changing your mind.
the wizard is not at all appealing to me, for reasons unknown
Same. I mean, whats not cool about a wizard, but for some reason, just not that interested. And I don't really dig on the Monk either because of all the hype it gets. Uhg. It may not even get as much hype as others but it's what I see personally. Whenever Diablo III comes up, or I go to a website or something its MONK THIS MONK THAT. Ffffu.
Why is this still be discussed is my question. It's a beard. They did a great job of making him look like an actual monk. Have you ever seen one? They don't really LOOK that badass. They did a great job at making him look true to the monk look, and original at the same time. I like these forums, but I may stop coming because nothing of real value seems to be discussed here.
On the notes of BEARDS, since that seems to be were this discussion is going. A beard may not be aesthetically pleasing, (to some) but it represents many many different things such as strength, dedication, and hierarchy. This is elementary shit here guys.
From the classes we are currently aware of, my first character will be a monk, followed by the wizard, the witch doctor and finally, the barbarian. I will not know where to place the fifth class until we learn more about it.
Barbarian
Witch Doctor
Wizard
Monk
And yea, depending on the 5th class, I'll change some stuff accordingly.
Say you worked your way up to a chest, and it had the greatest weapon ever. You kill some stuff, oops big monster killed me. Shit I didn't save or I didn't get to the checkpoint yet... Now I'm dead and lost the weapon I got earlier.
Okay, then. How about just losing stuff you definitely CAN replace -- i.e. the experience and money you've gained in the interim, and anything that's a guaranteed find or drop? Of course, the prospect of losing more substantial things (like the unique weapon you mentioned) could just give you more incentive to save often, not to mention some serious motivation not get yourself killed in the first place.
Yes, losing experience and gold is fine. That is what they did in D2. But this is a new game and as they have mentioned, gold is going to be much more important then it was in D2. But it would still be an OK penalty.
And also, the point of the game (to me) is..
1. Storyline
2. Gear
Having one of the main reasons I play taken away from me when I die would be ridiculous. Let's save that for the hardcore mode. Which is even more harsh, but understandable. Hardcore is Hardcore for a reason.
And oman, lets not even talk about computer glitch problems.
