You're missing the point. You're actually visibly upset of a choice made to make characters look a certain way and are claiming "identity politics" based on someone's design of characters.

But most importantly, how does it actually matter? it doesn't affect the way you play the game. You're just looking for something to complain about.

Have you run out of tin foil? I think I heard whispers

I've seen several threads/posts about the character select animations since the announcement.. idk how many or who all is "triggered" but there were several people that thought they looked like garbage (summarizing)

And as the OP stated, the artists have the capabilities in their attention to other details throughout the game to produce amazing results.. so it does leave one to wonder why.. forgetting the Zon (and the rest) for a moment, why would the Barbarian not be this massive, hulking brute with every muscle trained to physically crush his foe. Idk, seems almost intentional to make him less intimidating? I just imagine (from what little lore I remember) the Barbarians basically training in physical combat 24/7.. even the whole Warcries tab of the skill tree.. dude's so powerful even his lungs have the ability to send the minions of Hell fleeing.. current artwork does not give me that impression lol


Agree, some do look garbage. Conspiracy theorist material? propaganda related? The thread is a joke

It seems you're the only one triggered in here.. Majority of the people couldn't be any less triggered by this.

nobody cares about your so-called experience and preserveness of a 20-y-old-game. The world has changed and if you cant change your narrow world view, it's your problem.

the amazon looks more realistic than ever. you really think a hardcore trained female warrior with more muscles than you would have a round fatty face and large breasts? think again!
plus you really need a pixel-model to satisfy your sexual desires? how old are you? 14?

if you dont buy the game for the reasons you mentioned, then dont buy it and leave us alone with your bullshit. one less antiquated narrow-minded conspiracy theorist in this game.

and yes, i am a privileged white heterosexual man, but yes, i understand that this is a world with individuals and representation in media is more important than ever for billions of people.

It actually looks like you are the one upset because someone dares to complain about this, guess what you could have decided to not bother and just shrug, plain and simple.

I posted proof that many people have complained about it, enough for Blizzard to take note and posting a statement that they're looking into this and character models might change.

But it's not enough for you, you're here to drag this out, what's the real reason you're doing this, do you have a certain agenda? Let us know ty

Did you really just drop a "NAhhh you are" on me?

I'm just saying you're a little over the top. Why with all the extra bullshit included in your post.. You don't like the characters cool, say that and not all the other trash that spilled out of you that makes you look like a narrow minded spud.

Hypothetical - not calling anyone out, but let's say thread title is reaching.. And there is no identity politics, no agenda, no propaganda, no conspiracy, etc.

We do agree some look like garbage lol and that's a start! And I just think if you're gonna do something, do it right. They have the ability. Yes it's a petty detail, but for those that are going to be falling in love with d2r for the first time, as kids like when we played the original, do it for them! (Immersion in any RPG game is the smallest detail being correct, where one doesn't even usually consciously think about it..)

loled buddy, they're trying to stay as close to the original as possible and, like I stated in OP and YOU can see for yourself ingame, the classes are literally oozing diversity already, both female and male present and various races/skintones.

The ones pushing this into the extreme are people like YOU, you will never be happy cuz it will never be diverse enough for you, GTFO man and let this classic game just be itself ^^

Are you denying you're just here to try drag this out? Do you think it's not obvious?

You disagree with my topic, fine, I don't give a damn. I've shown you the feedback has landed, if you're really so m4d about it head over to the Bnet forums and complain about the players that give feedback, just like you are doing here on JSP right now. Pathetic, lol

Sure they could be 1:1 compared to original but idk, it is not something that is first priority to me - I rather see they will not break game mechanics.

Wouldn't mind if female characters were half-naked big boobed erotic models either.

The druid that identifies as an assassin?
