I’ll agree that entire cast looks middle aged.
Her (old) voice does not match her new aged appearance at all. That’s a big issue.

You mean this voice? Amazon : Jessica Straus
She was around 37 when she recorded that.
She’s now about 58 and still sounds like this.
The age of a voice actor rarely matches the character’s age. Voice actors simply change their voice to reflect the age of the character. That does not mean that they would run around in real-life using that (younger in this case) voice all the time. Child characters for example are also very often spoken by adults.
Jessica Straus spoke the Amazon as a young character with a young voice, to match her appearance in-game. Now that voice does not fit to the very old appearance of the new Amazon, and that’s the issue.

Yeah to me I don’t understand why they have to put politics in the game. To me it is disgusting that they even considered doing this much less doing it and then the community states just bring back our old characters and Blizz seems to just give community middle finger by keeping politics in the game. Changing it from a remaster to a personal political vendetta. Disgusting again. This is not a new game was suppose to be a remaster and very much would like the OG characters in it but that is not happening. So if you want to play a zon you have to play as a middle age man pretending to be a girl Manzon new class. yippie. And barb is older looking with no 6pack got 50 lbs to loose and not tall enough either. Driud well they made him fat cause Blizz will be damned if a warrior works out and takes care of themselves how evil to think. Blizz put ID politics in D4 it is a new game. Go crazy with it . Seriously i really mean it. That is your new diablo game. Load D4 with it all. But try and change a game because of personal politics is just insane and shows how creepy some people have gotten with politics.

Nailed it.
This lowers my expectations for D4 that’s for sure. They just don’t learn from their mistakes. The very second companies start discussing politics and woke theory at the meeting table, they’ve gone off track and are setting themselves up to fail in the long run. So disappointing. I still remember the good old days when Blizzard North made great games instead of feel good projects. Now, instead of remastering, they’re re-doing. That’s wrong, and shameful.

I feel like one of the reasons the Remastered Amazon looks off is because for some reason, they chose a different design for the Amazon. In the original Diablo II and LOD the Amazon still had a design similar to that of the Rouges from Diablo. As in the Rouges of the Sightless eye.
It’s an odd choice considering some of the corrupted rouges still have that design from the OG Diablo II but in the remastered graphics. So why can’t the Amazon?

OMG. I found the amazon’s sister.
Not as “off” as her “hard” face but she was a yellow blond in D2 LOD and she is a brown blond in D2R. Can that be adjusted too, please?

Same goes for Sorceress. Why she is not fit girl anymore.
What’s with this modern trend that every hero should be old, fat, unhealthy looking and ugly?
We didn’t ask for this. I won’t play with such avatars at all. Literally I will skip D2R because of this

I wonder if the amazon being so called ugly will make amazon exclusive items easier to get/trade. Since people won’t want to play that class, will it affect the market for those items?

Nah, just put a full face helm on her and then trade for that Uber Amazon gear. I am going to play her no matter what. It would just be nice if she resembled the Amazons I currently play.
All of you are complaining about the facial features. I think you guys are ignoring the other problems that the amazon is going to have. You complain about the face too much thats all thats going to happen.
Lets talk about the figure, and this seems to go for all of the female models ive seen so far, they are all chunky and fat. For some reason, they also decided to add a dress to cover the amazons legs. This isnt true to the original design, and it looks ugly. It looks heavy and encumbersome, not quick and nimble.
its the same for the sorc as well, even the barb, they added skirt lengths which doesnt improve the look
Point is, what was wrong with the amazons original model and frame? why cant they stay true to the original design? then nobody would really have the right to complain in that case.

I honestly see nothing wrong with the Amazon’s body. To me the proportions seem good. She does not look “fat”. She looks athletic and none of her physical features are overly enhanced ala anime.
The only thing that I am really disappointed about is the manly appearance of her facial features. It seems like a very easy fix

I don’t understand why they have to make the Amazon look so male-like. She is a woman. Make her look like a woman, not a man. They are known for their strength AND their beauty. Unfortunately this is not an uncommon problem in today’s time. A lot of media and games are trying to make women look ugly and it’s slowly being accepted as the norm. Stop this nonsense.
