Is that the Barbarian were going to play? - Page 2

I'm not sure if they said it's meant to be the *same* barbarian player character as from D2,






Yes, it actually is meant to be the same Barbarian from D2, 20 years later. You can find information about this on Blizzard's D3 site, and throughout this section of the forums|||Okay, sure. I'll go do some reading. Thanks for the confirmation. =)|||Barb is like Sean Connery - getting better with age. Always liked how an 'old man' kicks younglings asses.|||I like the idea. And I would like to see any other D2 classes with the same look as in D2 but with age. Though if you are able to customize your character, then it should be just the default look and you would be able to choose hair, color skin and body complexion at least.

Just imagine a Witch Doctor that you could customize to look as the former Necro but called "Witch Doctor" LOL.|||Quote:

Another hint was when the Barb recognizes Cain and says something to the effect of "You're still alive?"|||Quote:

So true, as soon as i heard that in the gameplay video, im like they have brought him back, its the same guy |||Well, realistically, that could just mean you'd met him earlier in the game. I noticed it at the time and wondered about it, but I don't think it necessarily means you're the same guy from D2. I mean how many other barbarians could Cain have met in 20 years? I'm betting a few.

But if they say it's the same one, then I guess it is.|||Quote:








Whats the problem with the barbarian man? His age is not gonna make you play slower or worst then if he was young anyway. Plus most of the time you will have a helm on so you will not even see his face. And the most important fact is that its great to have the feeling that its the same guy that I had in the previous game, i feel more attached to him. A young guy would be appealing more for people that havent played much the previous game




Doesn't explain why he's level 1 again, with no gear.|||Quote:

Ohhhh so i guess you would have preferred to have a level 90+ guy with all the good stuff that just goes through the game as if he is having a walk in the park...

If you know how these games work then i think you can pretty much understand the explanation to what you said|||Quote:

Two decades of hanging up the old axe might do that. We don't know if he stayed at Bastion's Keep and fought off whatever or if he plopped down on the couch, watched some tv and drank beer. Now THAT would be a funny cutscene/easter egg (what all the characters did on their 'downtime')
