I have some unique ideas for Diablo 4. First you should have a playable khazra. The goat men have appeared in every installation of diablo. But in diablo 3 it was revealed that they are intelligent creatures of the world of sanctuary. This makes them nephalem: CHANGE MY MIND.
Next up you should have an atheist character. You could call him a blasphemer. Make him a bard or an artificer but make it clear that a good portion of his power is rooted in the fact that he neither respects angels nor fears demons. This fits with your whac lore as well. Hell, make a goat man blasphemer itās your game.
Third whatever you do thereās going to be a lot said about the game, deserved and undeserved criticism but I hope you donāt try to make the game faster paced than d3. In fact id be happy if the game was gorgeous but even slower paced than diablo 2. And if for once you brought some real philosophy into the plot. Try and tackle the problem of evil. Instead of whipping up really boring bad guys like Malthael. There could be a really amazing twist like teaming up with lilith to protect sanctuary for the final act. Food for thought, love your games.
Nope. Nephalem are the children of Angels and Demons. Nothing in the lore that says they spawned goats. Sorry.

In the real world goats are very intelligent, tho can be difficult to live with.
Kind of like Dalmatians are beautiful dogs but donāt ever own one.

Sanctuary was created for the offspring of angels and demons. The khazra must just take after their mom? I didnāt make the blood clan clearly related to human beings, blizzard did. The khazra and men are both nephalem. The half angel half demon children of the world of sanctuary. They have a right to protect their home as much as any impale build demon hunter. They deserve a champion.
This all kind of avoids the problem of their origin so letās just beg the question: where DID the khazra come from? The two races have a common origin directly from lilith. Choose your checkmate.

D4 will not have a bunch of āracesā like WoW or D&D or similar games.
However, it will have many classes. Try coming up with a class idea that Blizz might be able to use in D4.
Personally I think they need to pay homage to the D2 and D3 classes, D1 classes are too generic, before they come up with other classes.
With the lore as is I think it would be great for the Paladin and the Crusader to be in the game at the same time. Also, for competition if anything else, having the Assassin and the Demon Hunter in the game together would be great.
After that? I say bring on as many different classes that the game can handle. Make it a real World of Diablo.
First thought, the Templar. Turn that into a playable class. That would fit in perfect with the Paladin and Crusader lore.
This is kind of a joke post. No one is calling for a bunch of different playable races. Just a playable goat man (so only nephalem allowed). Theyāre well established in the lore, appear in every installation. Trying to turn diablo into diablo is not trying to turn diablo into wow.
Trying to find a middle ground, how about a khazra bard form for the druid. I realize the shape changing is pretty dynamic, but you could have a buff strong enough to make it worth for him to shape change to a khazra drummer and jam out for a large party.
Well if you truly want to play a Goatman. There are compendiums for D&D 2nd edition. Yup back in the day when Diablo 2 and D&D were both popular, Diablo monster compendiums were made for the worlds of D&D.
Granted they were monsters that you would fight, but there are other books that can translate an encounter monster into a playable race. Heck, might even translate to 3rd edition or even Pathfinder (basically 3rd ed). Donāt know about 4th or 5th ed, never played them.
Then again, thatās if you are into the old style of gaming. Also, you would have to find the books. Of course they could be online in pdf form. Who knows, just a thought.

Overall D4 strikes me as a game that would be better of with anti-hero classes rather than Paladin/Priest type ones with some kind of say Blood sacrifice mage or Dark assassin type, but, not sure if Goatman is the way though
Especially cause the Druid is already in the game tbh

I totally agree. I think it would be good if they gave the paladin a rest and brought back the warrior. Thatās right the Aiden archetype from d1. But yeah I think a witch and a priest would both be great additions. Give them both a necromancy tree. I think if a paladin is included he should be an oathbreaker paladin and join up with lillith. cheers.

They actually tried this with D3 but the end result was just basically the Barbarian.
Which is pretty much gonna be the staple of this franchise in every edition. Although, Iām opposed to new classes. They really do need to amp up bringing new classes into the game. I wouldnāt mind dropping 10 dollars on a new class to be honest.
Only if the base game is good though.

Birdperson:
THAT would actually work according to Diablo lore. The Paladins were ācorruptedā so thatās why the Crusaders split off and went a different direction to differentiate themselves from the Paladins. Heck maybe they could be the Death Knights of Diablo lore now. Turn the Templar into a playable class too. According to Diablo lore they think that the Crusaders are just as corrupted ad the Paladins and they are the only true Holy Warrior.
Strikerjolt:
I agree. I made a similar post earlier that Diablo should pay homage to all the ācoreā classes of D2 and D3 in D4 before the bring in new classes. Establish an actual World of Diablo and then expand it like WoW. Good thing is, they donāt have to worry about races at all. That makes it even easier for them.
Please no. The writers have failed enough with WoW and Diablo 3. I canāt speak for starcraft.
But the fact itās been confirmed Rathma helped Lilith in the videoā¦ I have no faith in Blizzardās writers to stick to original lore points and work with them.
Iām not for āSMASH EVERYTHING AND BUILD IT BACK UP.ā

Playable demons in PK/PVP mode sounds fun. Like in new DooM.
I miss DOOM, such a fun game. Well, I guess the old DOOM. Best shooter game I have played and Iāve played way too many. Heck, I even liked the movie too haha.
IDN Avalon could be a strange way to implement PVP or an end game PVP variant, but Iād add playable demons of all kinds. Might be entertaining in 40 on 40 or something like that.
It will be interesting to see how they implement PvP. In the game play video you can see a Sorceress trying to stop a Barb with ice bolts. They had no effect on him and he killed her with one swing (hit).
