Ok, so if I could make a normal-looking White guy for my Rogue, you could probably somehow avoid a "gypsy mystery meat" for the female, no? Too retarded to cycle through all the options? Ok, then.
My sorce has pale skin. Goes nice with the black goth makeup. I imagine you can do the same for the rogue. I also don't understand your question. You're asking us if you're too retarded to cycle through the skin tones. If you have to ask then I imagine the answer is yes.

I was replying to someone you have on your ignore list (Reintard).

Guys, Diablo IV is fucking fantastic. I've quit drinking because of it.

Guys, this game fucking blows. I've got a gun to my head right now.

Guys, I love my sorceress and I'm a pro at this game now. Also, my old female boss is currently giving me a blow job.

Guys, I got so mad at Diablo IV that I threw my controller out the window and it hit my landlord in the head as she was coming up to my trailer to attempt to collect the rent. I've been evicted.

Guys, I joined a clan and I've finally found acceptance in this world. I think God Himself made this game.

Guys, I'm playing Alien Dark Descent now, please forget I ever talked about Diablo IV. Fuck those guys.

Take your pills crispy, you're losing it again.

Taking a break from D4 to play Aliens is a good thing. Will help keep me from getting burned out before season 1 even starts. It's still over a month away.

I already have 150 hours in D4 btw.

Guys I caved in and started playing this.
Only to be reminded that all the Diablo games feel like you're not supposed to actually be enjoying playing them. Do you feel the same way?
For example PoE and recently Last Epoch have a completely opposite feeling to them: here's lots of cool skills and items and enemies and you player enjoy the shit out of our mechanics and spectactle.

DIV look really pretty I admit and that's really the only reason I keep playing now.

First two games were ok back in the days, but i wouldn't put myself through torture of replaying them again. Its sad that the games with such interesting setting have gameplay that is the most repetitive, braindead and grindy shit ever.

D3 is only enjoyable if you're bugman. Even mmos made by dog eaters look like the time of your life in comparison.

I dont know what kind of faggot would play the fourth one though, especially after seeing all the pre release info. The one who enjoys stepping on a rake repeteadly i guess.

that's the hook of ARPGs tho, you grind, grind, grind for those loot drops. It's like gacha, or casinos. The story is there to please the plebs, but these games are all about the grind.

I read something about D3 development, that back when Boyarsky worked at Blizzard after Troika shutdown and his burnout and he had this idea to make Diablo 3 more like a proper rpg or something with choices and branching story but they laughed him up lmao.

I would actually play this kind of Diablo spin off. Or at least would have played it back in the days.

It's odd you're not enjoying the spectacle, cause it seems to be one of the few things D4 does exceptionally well: knocking shit around with just the right amount of ragdoll physics and damage type leading to different death animations.
In contrast, Titan Quest and Grim Dawn really show their age in this regard.

Honest question: when does Last Epoch get good? Skill customization was outstanding, but that's about it.
Early game locations were dull as fuck and so was enemy design. A handful stood out, but at some point all I was fighting was spitting turd-worms, biting turd-worms with an odd lizard thrown in for variety.

I’ve just re-listened the OSTs from D1 and D2 made by Matt Uelmen and then followed up by the D4’s and oh my dear god, how just how is it possible to fall from such a greatness to this.. absolute blandness? I must say it does try to mimic its predecessors, but it’s more of a cargo cult than an homage. And it’s baffling. It’s not that there were no good composers nowadays with their own vision. Yeah Matt Uelmen will forever stay unsurpassed, but the funny thing is nobody‘s even tried.

The revised Act I might help with this (I don't know, I haven't played it through since that update), but later on, there are more interesting enemies like fiery birdman crusaders, etc. that swoop in, etc. and some interesting locales like the grinder soul factory thing.

I think the recent patch deleted five chest keys from my inventory. The ones you buy with "murmuring obols", or whatever.

MY KEYS!
