I said it in enerkia's thread and I'll say it here - bottom half looks decent, top half looks a bit awkward. I was thinking a 3D model similar to female bodybuilders. Have you seen those women? They look like they could crush small vehicles with their just their hands. This model has somewhat oversized breasts and arms about as thick as the male monk's.

Although I will add something here - Finally red-heads get their due. If anyone remembers the incident of people kicking red-heads, this will give some of them justice. Anyone goes to kick this chick and she'll not only launch you into the sky Team Rocket style with those monstrous legs of hers, but also put Vinny Testaverde to shame. Not to mention crush your crotch area with one accurate enough swing. No "Replenish Life +(x)" would ever be able to make those little guys work again.

Large breasts on a barb? While not realistic for a female warrior who is actually in shape, this is just a game I tell myself. Like the developers have said about the shoulder armor, certain items must be accentuated in order to look right when zoomed out. Here are two other theories though:

#1 - she's out of shape. while blessed with freakishly strong genes, she's not been battle-tested. otherwise those bombs would've burned off long ago.

#2 - she's cashed in her loot for enlargements. while she may be compensating for low self esteem, women w/ implants have higher rates of personality disorders... something to be feared.

Nobody should take the proportions of anything on the model as it is.

ONCE AGAIN the models are not meant to be this close AND MORE IMPORTANTLY from this angle. Proportions are purposely distorted so when seen from an isometric view, they look normal. If don't get how it works, look at your tv straight on. Then look at the screen from the side of the tv. See how the screen looks smaller in comparison.

Of course there were female Vikings. And nobody denies that female Vikings/barbarians were able to fight if the circumstances demanded it, as you describe. But look at the female D3 Barbarian. She is a beast of a woman. No way a historical female viking, or even fantasy lore barbarian can be TRAINED warriors of THIS extent.

Man, I sure hope not every blizz update will be accompanied by such painful discussions.
Nothing against you man, but there isn't anything like 'no way even in fantasy lore'.
Let's leave the female barb alone. Let's check out the male barb.
There's simply no way he could get like that unless there was a private latest-tech gym hidden in Harrogath and Mala constantly supplied him with protein supplements.

That's how it is- that's fantasy lore meeting concept art. Pointless to associate any real life connotations with it.

she looks mean, and has nice boobies. Thanks,

You know only a insigificant fraction of the things that existed or exist in our world.


@maka:
If they launch the game in those condition i would agree with you. But i doubt they will.
Again look at early SC2 and the newst br. The difference is drastic.

Not to sound like I'm copping out here, but remember, this is Sanctuary.

Thank the heavens for that. No taxation, no wondering if there is or isn't a global warming effect on the planet, just grab a sword, put on a helmet and go kill something. While we're on the subject of murderous intent, no matter how she looks, the *ahem* female manbeast definitely gives you the feel that she has no problem taking care of business. Female Barb, at least from the point of view of this Diablo fan, gets 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

Female barbarian, looks hot!

Some female body builders are built like that.

Remember the Barbs are built to survive in harsh regions of Sanctuary. I think the Female Barbs would have to be strong in order to give birth to the strong Barbarians.

I am glad they went with that style of look instead of a more glamorized look or in layman's terms skins and bones with huge knockers.

Compare the picture in the wiki link with the D3 female barbarian. Huge difference. And I said that no viking female could be a TRAINED warrior of THIS extent (That is compared to D3 presentation). Read posts better next time.

The picture in the wiki is pure speculation lol. Those woman could be huge (they problably were because they were trained to carry extra large shields).

And I know a woman even stronger then this female barbarian (and never entered a gym in life). She got muscles by working as a heavy artisan, builder and laborer.

She is the very definition of the term "Brick House".

For those of you WHINING about her appearance, or the size of her boobs given the size of her muscles, do get a life, will you? The Barbarians are a whole race of giant people. The male Barbarian is insanely ripped for a man getting on in years as he is (or really for any age). The peoples of Sanctuary are different than the peoples of Earth. Here, we have a skinny tribe where men average 6'4" and women average 6 feet living on the same continent as a people whose men average less than four and a half feet. Sure, we don't have as many extremes as they do, but it's a fantasy world. Give it a rest.

Also, normally when you meet somebody as ripped out as the Male and/or Female Barbarian, in real life they are more realistically about 5'-3" on average. Taller people don't have the bone strength/density to get extremely ripped, there are some rare exceptions though. To help explain, look at some of the wrestlers and bodybuilders, then look at basketball players and runners. The heavier built are shorter, yet you don't see very many fast people who are under 5'-6".

everybody keeps talking about how shiny new computers are expensive, and blizzard is making mid-level graphics to appeal to a large spectrum, etc etc....

let's be serious for a minute....until last month, i still had a Pentium4, and was able to play all the newest games (settings on 'medium', not even on 'low'), including Dragon Age: Origins and Modern Warfare 2. granted, i have a 9600GT graphics card, which is allright, but not spectacular. but even that wasn't expensive when i bought it, and it's even less now. so, to be honest, to me, that whole argument of "we're going easy on the graphics so you don't need a new PC to play it" sounds like a bit of a cop-out. any low-to-medium-range PC would most probably run D3 if it came out now....since we have at least another year to wait, maybe more, i think they're setting the bar a bit too low on this one. but that's just me....

so, no excuses, blizzard.

VOUCH

Blizzard take note of what this guy said,
we are not all running windows 95 with 128MB RAM and integrated graphics.

This is 2010, take a look at DiRT 2. Now that's a beautiful game.

I figured the female barb would look like a dyke, but she looks pretty hot actually - and that without making her unrealistic.

As for the graphics.. seriously, who cares? You still play D2 don't you?

Lol just because we play d2 doesn't mean we dont' care about the graphics of it.
