Reading some of the posts I’m starting to believe being young, attractive and fearsome at the same time is some how offensive.

No offense to anyone but Amazon looks ugly. She looks like a he almost with bad skin. I don’t know what they were going for. Druid looks like a homeless man and barbarian looks like he stopped lifting.

What gives?

I can look past the new amazon model but the Barbarian is nothing like his former model; looks weak, old.

You couldn’t type @ss. Because it’s censored. No government was involved.
So yes, the amazon was censored.

Wait. Do you think the original was pornographic?
If you think the original or the changes we are asking for are pornographic. This game might be too mature for you.
It’s rated M.

Because the rest of it is really well done.

Did you play the original?

The difference is there isn’t a toggle where I CAN type and see the word @ss. In D2R I CAN toggle and see all the pixelated body parts I want.

I was trying to relate it to a type of media where someone would say “man I really want to see thighs and @ss right now, what should I do?” Can we be honest and say that your first thought isn’t “play diablo 2”?
Because if that is your first thought, boy do I have a treat for you. You can open up your options menu and click that little toggle option anytime you need to fulfill that requirement. Because Blizzard didn’t remove it from the game- because it isn’t censorship.

I did! Did you?

Right. The original isn’t censored and the new one is.
So it’s censored. Agreed?

You’re talking in circles.
It’s not pornographic to me. Maybe it is to you.

It isn’t censorship if you still have the option to see it.

And Im not talking in circles. I explained that there are plenty of places for you to view pixelated thighs and @ss. That this vocal minority chooses to focus on this specific detail is telling. Why not focus on making the Amazon’s breastplate monochromatic red to be more like the original? Why not focus on how there are shared stash tabs, unlike the original? Curious.

I wish you the best of luck on this crusade you have undertaken.

I don’t care enough to try and fight back against the folks that want to see more censorship in games and media though. Keep up the good fight man, I gave it up a while back. If it is bad enough in a game I just don’t play it nowadays.

Not showing outrage over minor changes isn’t “wanting more censorship” in the same way that allowing players to see whichever version they want isn’t censorship.

Yeah man I just don’t care. There isn’t a point in arguing with you.

Apparently you do, enough to comment on a game you don’t even play. :man_shrugging:

What exactly makes you think I don’t play diablo 2?

I took it from your comment that you don’t play it because of censorship, I misread the ‘if’, my mistake.

AAh. fair enough. It bugs me a little, but as I said in my first post on this thread it is not bad enough to actually annoy so badly that I don’t want to play the game.

Most of the time I am zoomed out and not paying that much attention to what my character looks like in D2.

The vocal minority is you. look through.

In my first post I also focus on the Barbarian. But you failed to notice because you are busy projecting your own views.

I prefer realistics in computer games, so i’m happy with the character models.
From a battle hardned amazon i don’t expect to look like an anime barbie.
I would prefer a ‘Gina Carano’-Amazon over a ‘Gal Gadot’-Amazon.

I love the art, and I think they are uniquely beautiful for each of there representations. Thank you to the artists who worked hard on these :smiley:

Fair enough.
But I still want her to look like she did

I agree. Blizzard/Vicarious Visions toned down sex appeal for Amazon. Barbarian, on the other hand, just looks flat, not too muscular, compared to the original 2D sprites which still looks better. I hope they’ll improve 3D character models for final product.

PezRadar said both on reddit and the forums that they were looking into it. But it’s been a while.
