I always thought he was a Saracen. Saracens wearing medieval armor makes sense. Zulus in medieval armor is retarded.
Whatever his shade of black was, the original paladin definitely looked the part as far as I'm concerned. The current paladin looks like a participant in the 2020 Lut Gholein Peaceful Protests who just grabbed a full suit of shiny armour while looting the local armoury store.

Would someone here explain what people's complaints with LoD are? I remember thinging Act 5 was pretty great, and liking nearly everything LoD brought to the table. Did the Nephalim bullshit begin with LoD? I don't remember that getting going until D3. It's been a very long time since I played.
I played Diablo II for months and months and even picked it up and played it again years later, I think I had various Lvl ~93-97 or even 8 characters on B.Net and I owned LoD, but I don't think I've ever actually played the fifth Act. One of the main reasons for buying and installing LoD for me was that it improved the Base resolution of Classic Diablo II from 640x480 to 800x600. It's a really long time ago now, but I remember thinking that the Runes are wank and Gems were good enough for improving Rare weapons, the looting game seemed worse and I never liked the additional characters that LoD added with the Assassin and Druid as opposed to the iconic Barbarian/Sorceress/Necromancer/Amazon/Paladin. They always seemed like a kind of lame addition.

I didn't like Bhaal. Diablo runs were much more visually appealing Bhaal was in some boring snow land. Felt anti-climatic.

Don't look at original wizard from D1. Which looks the same.

wow it's weird how they were capable of perfectly depicting that in diablo 1 but suddenly technology prevented them from doing so in diablo 2

Because this is character portrait with upclose face. No such a thing in D2. But i like how those goal posts are moved constantly.

D2R paladin is a nigger --> This is wrong kind of nigger ---> anyways problem is nigger not staying true to d2

Amazon looks worse than D2 ---> Well it is about age not about looks.

Blizzard wasn't woke when they made D2, now this woke shit ---> ok they did stuff back then ---> No stop showing me George Floyd in Diablo1 i can't take it.

What is the difference ? I don't see one. Nigger is a nigger.

Guys do you believe the nerve of that RACIST? What an absolute FREAK, some one need to pass these DISTURBING posts to blizzard for his key to be revoked!

Do I need to be a raging coomer to be upset that the Druid looks like he's been shooting H in a hollow tree and just heard the news it's his high school's 20 year reunion? Or the fact the trailer showed werewolf form, and he went from having a sleek white coat to yet another shade of brown? Enemies no longer seem to have striking color palettes, like that white glow of horrors, or the bright red of burning dead. Will magic packs have a bright blue hue? Will Ghosts' casting their bone spirit-like spell be a huge glowing orb of white? Will the corpse spitters fire huge bright green loogeys at us?

What does any of those have to do with being a coomer?
The point is that the only reason people are complaining is because a character whose face you see clearly ONLY in the character selection screen is not hot enough. And make 40 pages about it. This is coomer behavior. It already happened with Mass Effect's remaster and Miranda's ass. It is happening now. It will happen again, because many people here are cover coomers.

Hard to pay attention in last 50 pages sperging out about some faces. When original is this:

Nice try, using a picture where Amazon is not selected and therefore standing in darkness.

Here is a picture where everybody is selected (the upper row):

And a special bonus, a picture from a blog of somebody who's named Lilura1:

Honestly, trying to argue that the Amazon can be 50-years-old matron instead of mid-20-years-old fighter is retarded, but at this point it is obvious that you are arguing in a bad faith. It's either that or you're really stupid.

Can't see shit, captain. Only thing that matters about the Amazonian are her gigantic boobs. That's the thing that stands out the most about her, not her near-indistinguishable face.

Devs did a shitty job at GRAPHICAL remaster of the cult classic game, fanboys in full damage control mode "BRO why u so mad you see this graphics like once a playthrough xD, fucking coomer lol"

I would love to see the resetera's reaction if they made paladin white and someone went "Bro xDDD you see his face like ONCE BRO! RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING! Just pretend he's black for the rest of the game LMAO!"

Merida, again
Only reason I picked the Amazon was because she looked hot in the character selection screen.
That was pretty much the main reason people included women in their games as playable characters. Eye candy. I guess with the current times there is no need for said eye candy.

The third picture. Not the first.

Which seems to be a blurry, upscaled picture of the original. Kind of me posting this

And talking about how handsome the Vault Dweller's face is.
Here you have not an upscaled picture, with good lighting:

Link for people who can't see the image above for some reason: L-click me!. Coincidentally it seems to have models for all heroes, so you can take a good look at the Paladin as well.
