Diablo III

[The Mindset]

I really hope the Necro and Druid haven't been axed. I'd also like if you could import old d2 single player characters.

My Paladin was called Samuel L Jackson.

From what I heard, I think the barbarian is the only character who will be transfered to Diablo III - all others have been axed. However, I suspect that their will be analogues of the others, such as an "archer", a "holy warrior" or "knight" and some type of "wizard". As far as I can tell, the witchdoctor has replaced the necromancer. Blizzard also mentioned there will be five character classes, however, I suspect their will eventually be others added at a later date.

While we are on the subject, I had a leap attack barbarian called the "Big Bopper".

No, they mentioned that they are carrying over classes plural, so at minimum we're talking about the Barb and someone else.

I hope it's the Paladin. Because I love my pallies.

Probably with the expansion. D2 only had five before LoD too, right? (Pally, Amazon, Barb, Necro, Sorc)?

Really? I heard only one, but you may be right. Perhaps your information source is more recent. Anyhow, you may get your wish, I just looked over the stil pics on the main site and saw that pic numbers 1 (two "paladins"), 5 (has two "paladins" and what appears to be a "ranger") and 19 seemed to feature a paladin-like character.

Yeah, that's right. They added the druid and assasin with the LoD expansion.

I'm going off of the gameplay trailer they released to announce D3. If a later source has indicated the Barb is the only class coming back, then the later source is obviously correct.

Just an interesting little interview.

Also, about that returning class thing...

The word "classes" is used when refering to a situation like what's happening with the barb. Unless they're just trying to lead us on, the Barbarian won't be alone in making the transfer from D2 to D3.

Bah. I was never one of these point-and-click people. I could play through both of the Diablos once, maximum. I'll probably get it, if only just to play through it the once.

Diablowut? I never experienced it. Sounds like fun, though, especially if you can do actual functional multiplayer. BG, for all its glory, has shit multiplayer capability.

Diablo 1 and Diablo 2's multiplayer is only functional if you stick to playing with friends. And even then, you have to make sure one of those friends isn't a complete jerk.

My roommates and I set up a Diablo 2 lanning operation using the university's network freshman year which lasted for a few weeks of really good times. But it eventually ended a few days after a douche who lived across the hall from us started using hacks to instantly get his character to upper levels and proceed to kill everything in sight. The game just wasn't any fun to play with that guy around.

Well, if you like mindless slaughter and wading through dozens of vicious hellspawned demons, it's great. It's sorta like WoW, except darker and gothic.

If you're looking for an actual story or roleplaying, you might want to stick to BG.
