I do like the lore of this character. Recoiled at it at first, because yeah, Warcraft, but it's growing on me. I think I remember saying to someone that I'd like to see a demonologist character, but I was thinking of a more magical class than someone who actually uses demon blood to burn things or something. But this is better than magic, because demon teeth explode. There's no willingness to bargain with or appease demons at all, just mash them all into hellspawn-brand explosive goo. Plus there's a secret society vibe to it, the way you can't be recruited unless you survive intense demon attacks. I like those parts. It's my favorite of the 5, from what I've seen this far.
The armor covers her, but it looks very intricate and probably magical, which I think is a mistake. This character would do better with simple and effective protective gear, like the paladin in D2. The recoil on those hand crossbows looks far too intense in the cinematic, but hopefully this won't be a problem in the game. I wouldn't mind having to use crossbows for some of those abilities, but I expect to see other weapons too, like with the Amazon. And finally, it would be pitiful if it turns into an emo goth (read: sparkly vampire) class. I could see people talking about Twilight whenever a Demon Hunter is around. *shudder*
Things I'm sitting on the fence about: glowing eyes, popularity, writing. Eh, we'll see.

"were going to die here, aren't we."
"No. Because I have machine-gun crossbows and can do back flips and crap."

maybe its because the characters are getting too powerful? in the original and D2 Demons were something to be feared something that the player character would have to take seriously or face certain death. Im all for conviction in the face of overwhelming odds, but so far the PC's seem to be walking all over the opposition...maybe a mod would correct this?
I wasn't talking about grittiness, I meant the Diablo trailers are low quality; barely more than rendered graphics engine machinima.Nemu said:
It's because they're using the actual game engine instead of prerendered stuff. To compare:Benedict Wolfe said:
This is pre-rendered. Prettier, though not true to the game's actual appearance. Just keep in mind that you'll be playing from a different view. I expect it won't be such an eyesore when you've got that whole top-down view going for ya.
To Funk: Maybe I'll have to admit that it's just nostalgia going for the writing of Diablo II, but the sheer amount of cliche condensed into a single video is disheartening. I certainly anticipate the third installment, but I'm going to sit here trying to convince myself that the quality is only indicative of this video being a trailer rather than indicative of the actual gameplay experience.
I don't think you should hand a person a gun handle first, it can cause bad "accidents" to happen, *BLAM* "Oh Sh**, sorry, do you have bandages? I swear I can fix this." Ever since I saw a parody that's all I can think of whenever anyone hands another a gun.
I thought this was a very cool character until she started talking in a faux british accent and turned into a red-eyed crossbow-uzi shooting Night Elf.
Still, it's good to see that they're trying to mix up the stereotypical archetypes for D3 so it's more of a discovery process when it comes to the classes. Asides from the flavour gone horribly wrong, colour me interested.

Blizzard lately for me has turned into one of those car wrecks you see and can't seem to look away from for some reason. After they got WoW big and a large player base for it seems like they just don't try at games anymore. I grew up on their games and I can't even stand to look at what they do with them these days. I hope they use that money from the MMO and put it towards something. Anyways, hope the game doesn't disappoint for those looking forward to it.
