Ah, c'mon, Blizzard games have shit graphics, news at eleven!!!
Though I must admit that what I really abhor in this one is the design of the characters. I mean, ugly monsters can still be tolerable - if they're that ugly, at least you compensate this by slaughtering them with maximal cruelty possible, but ugly looking PCs on the other hand... And boy, PCs are fugly in DIII.
First, we have asian looking sorceress (and her quite homosexual looking male counterpart) and she's asian in a bad way (I mean, c'mon, it's not like anime style has originated there for no reasons at all).
Second, we have voodoo power shaman and shamaness, looking completely ridiculous to the western eye (because, y'know, there were some valid reasons that made europeans think that they're no better than animals during the first cultural contacts) and embracing everything that can be bad with black race in them - look at their faces, just look at their fucking faces! Well, at least we can thank them that shamaness doesn't have her tits hanging down her belly. Next we have monks. Well, OK, female monk is actually quite pretty, especially since I've always had weakness for the white-haired (white, not blond, especially not perhydrol blond) girls, so no qualms there. On the other hand, male monk... Damn, Blizzard, you think that I want to play some bold, bearded middle-aged dude with two silly red dots on his forehead? You really thinks so? Fuck you!
The barbarians... Yeah, playing as a beefy gramps with degenerative face is what I've always dreamed of. No, really, who want to play as an old man in this kind of a game, especially on the role of mindless fighters? It has zero appeal! And barbarian woman is even worse - she's simply a cow! Now, I understand that that's what pretty much every warrior woman (with the exception of st. Joan, maybe) in history looked like, but fuck, send this huge-assed abomination to the barber shop or supermarket or wherever the fuck it originated from! Though, can we ask anything in that department from the studio that has invented tauren women? How can we?
Finally, daemon hunter. Male one is totally gay because of his miniscule beardie, the female one is way too gotish for her own good, but is more or less tolerable.
So, in the end, what do we have here? Out of 10 characters, we have like what, 1.5 tolerable? Way to go, Blizzard, way to go. Even in the first one we had whole two (warrior and rouge; and, perhaps, wizard could also be tolerated if you're into that kind of thing); and second part, whatever faults it may've had, had at least decent characters. I mean, large busted amazon, black leathered assassin, gaunty, tainted, creepy in the right way necromancer, hot-looking middle-eastern sorceress and an armor clad paladin. I've never had much love for barbarian and druid there, but at least they were not ridiculous as this multikult middle-aged sexually tolerant atrocity right here.
