Diablo 3

Well seeing the announcement of Diablo3 all i have to say is that i am dissapointed... they took the Necromancer off and replace him with a deformed exagerated WoW type of char called "WitchDoctor", they also said they plan to have all new class types (which is a lie because the Barbabian is back) and who knows what WoW-ish strange classes they will have... im also kinda disspointed because they change the well known Potions which had a lot of Lore in diablo universe for "Orbs" that enemies drop with no lore or logic for that.

Also there is like an outrage in 2/3 of the fans because of the colored "rainbow" graphic art (in my opinion is not that bad but i must admit D1-D2 were not like that) but its all over Diablo sites in the net:

In the official Diablo3 forum at blizzard there seems to be another kind of war because of the "no char customization", seems people (including myself) wants some kind of options to choose how their char should look, but as an interview with one of the Devs he stated: *no, no char apperance... we just want to you choose your char and start kicking ass as soon as possible*. Excuse me, but that seems like a lazy excuse... now a days RPG or MMORPG choosing your char apperance has become a Standard in most Hit games, and people are arguing about at least have premade heads.

And whats with the over sized muscular chars with huge shoulder pads and short wide swords?:

I honestly miss realistic feel of Diablo1-2 :

Oh well... stuff like this happends alot in sequels, not to mention the True Developers of Diablo1-2 left Blizzard North to open "FlagShip" (who just died this same week).

Oh by the way, Leon Boyarski is working on Diablo3... if you recall the name, Bloodlines will come in flashing in your mind.

Yeah they do look 'happy'. Ofcourse without knowing the context of the building you are in, I can't say if it's out of place for that environment.

I found a cool screen of Diablo 3... or is it WoW? anyway here goes:

I dont know what to say... they are using WoW Props in Diablo3, this is kinda offensive...  that table is from WoW and more props are all over the D3 Gameplay video and pics, i already found arround 7 of those... i would not have a problem if the props were a little more real, less flat poly... geesh even i can do high poly props than those... (please, a job from blizzard haha).

Hopefully all these "little things" get fixed, and i also hope they added those just to show off...  but the game should be "fun" to play and there will be no worries if the characters look bulky with oversized armor and weapons, and wont be too bad either to have a few Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Trolls, Orcs and Goblins as NPC in the game... what?! They fit perfectly in Diablo!...

Cutting costs are they?
