okay i just saw some gameplay and she still looks bad lol
Yeah. And it's not just the face. It's the body too. It's a clear tranny. Some faggot dev forcing their cult on the rest of us again.

The whole point of a nostalgia title is to get away from this garbage.

The only mod you need for D2 is plugy. You get all the new functionality that the remaster has (bigger stash space, shared stash, can use /players), but better. It also doesn't come with the lame new graphics and you don't have to rebuy the game you already own.
I had some trouble finding this.

Looks good and they helpfully included patches, since Blizzard's version is stuck 2 versions behind fsr.

After looking into it, between the fact that the designer was black and the concept art, I do think the Paladin was supposed to be black, or at least an extremely swarthy man.

That said, this thing of making him a full-on sub-Saharan African who is growing an afro and looks like he just stepped out of the jungle and put on a suit of armor is a bit of a stretch from the originals - but not as much as turning the Assassin into Kim Jong Un's sister or turning the Amazon into Bruce Jenner.

Nobody is disputing that. But of all the D2 characters he was easily the most presentable, clean, shaven, pure Chad.
The new one is some Chicago rapist or a gasoline fumes huffing Abbo.

I can't say I disagree, but it's a stylistic change rather than a complete retcon of his race or sex.

On that note, the druid has been taken from a young Nordic man in furs and turned into a lice ridden old hobo who looks like he kidnaps and eats people when he isn't day-drinking himself into a not-so-early grave.

And we don't know if she has a thong or is airing out the puss. (although, short haircut... possible bulge under flap... tranny?). Never noticed before.

The dude's look equally fucked. Hobo of the woods, ebenezer death, fat lard ass AMURICA CHUNK YEAH!!, and a more negro la wide head and nose.

Do the FMV's look like shit for anyone else? For me they look low bitrate with pixealation in dark scenes, and they stutter. I hope they're just placeholders and the full versions will be higher quality.

It's 2021. Diablo 2 was 2000. The characters are all 21 years older now. Do the math retards. It's realistic that they all look like fat depressed 50-something people who wish they could retire already.

They must've failed and are in hell then. Trying to save the world but the illusion is so real they don't realize they lost.

They ghettod him for no reason.

Sorcerer (not as offensive change as Amazon/Assassin) looked more like Jasmine from Aladdin than this ugly Indian thing, bleh.

Its not without reason, SJWs hate everything thats both beautiful and inspiring. They are souless husks that cant help themselves make everything as ugly as they feel inside.

When I think of D2's paladin I think disciplined, stoic and virtuous. This dude looks like a war vet in a constant state of dissociation. Lights are on, nobody's home. Has given up on grooming himself, etc. I do like the armor at least.

Zeal, not Stoicism, is the virtue you're looking for in religious fighting men. It's not enough to endure, they must overcome and be moved to feats of valor in the face of great evil or adversity. As for the rest, Cleanliness is next to Godliness. This Nu-Paladin is decline.

Yep. Along with making women look as much like trannies as possible so that they can "pass" themselves someday.

This is an improvement. If you live out in the wilderness as a dirt-worshiping heathen you shouldn't look like an unsullied, red-haired Nicholas Cage. At least he has a proper beard now and that bear paw shawl has been fixed to not look absurd.

The only other one that's acceptable is the Necromancer who at least maintained status-quo. The rest are just plain awful.

I like the controller support, playing as a furry currently. Remake is ok but nothing impressive.
If you are looking for a new arpg and can purchase only one I'd suggest Last Epoch.

The game becomes a lot more relaxed with a controller. I am surprised how well it was implemented.

Too bad the lag makes the game unplayable.

I died out of thin air not too long ago. I thought it could be arrows but no on was within 2 screens of any point that I could see. Monsters do teleport around though, that's how bad the ping is.

I thought fixing the lag would be the one thing they might try to do for the Remake since the original release of D2 is unplayable on b.net thanks to the lag (not that you'd want to play there anyway since everyone just bots in their private games). Wow if they are making the remake run off those same servers.
