Default Diablo 3

At least in D3 you can pick male/female chars, so a half naked female cant be that bad.

Anyway, as long as hammerdins dont make a comeback Im fine, even though some sort of "saint" class will eventually be in the game.
I doubt D3 would suffer from the trappings of traditional Monk character, it's not like non-melee combat classes can't put on plate armor if they want in D2.

Obviously skills would factor into the character design, they may not have the innate str to wear the heaviest armor but their skills should compensate (increased dodge, staff blocking for e.g.)

And D2 was designed so that Elite armors to have similar defense stats to encourage a wide adoption of looks, personally light-medium armor looks the best to me (paladin looks like shit tbh) on most characters and they also drain stamina less. But Stamina probably won't even be a consideration in D3, it's another dumb mechanic just like keys. My hero should be able to run all the time damn time whenever he/she wants.

Ow, i forgot to put the /endsarcasm quote lol.

Still Blizzard has the time to make joke heros with nice looking skills (lol), and wont show much more about the actual game, gameplay, heroes, itamz, etc.

So, meanwhile who's still playing D2?

I'm gonna resume playing on bnet once ladder resets/new patch rolls out, meanwhile I've been test-running SP characters on the hi-res mod+ladder runewords enabled.

I'm still playing D2 sometimes I get bored, killing Baal and Mephisto by myself, dropping some unique items without cheat still kind a fun for me.

In all seriousness I will be hooking this game up introvenously, my anticipation is so high. Im sure Blizzard wont disappoint (except for how late the game is released, but thats better than releasing a crap game).

Blizzcon will hopefully share some news on recent developments. Cant wait
