Why is the amazon so ungodly ugly?

actually, in the login-screen she looks amazing. And even if she had a moustache… WTF is your Problem? Do women all have to look like your wet dreams? She is an Amazon for f**ks sake, not a barbie!
I love the new looks btw. Just look at her or the Barb at the login screen

The problem is that she’s an already established character, and looks nothing like the original.

That is your opinion and I disagree whole heartedly and honestly the amazon face looks like an old man.

The nose is a mans, the shape of the jaw bones is a mans, the shape of the cheek bones is a mans, the chin line is a man’s shape, and the lips are that of a man. The eye structure is also not soft.

Typical masculine characteristics

top half of the face:

The hairline sits further back on the skull and makes the forehead appear higher
The forehead frontal bones protrude more and create a sense of deeper set eyes – female foreheads are more rounded or convex.
The brow appears lower, heavier and more prominent.

Noses with more masculine characteristics tend to have:

a larger size
more angular dimensions
a bridge that is wider and straighter
a nasal tip that does not tend to point upwards

Men’s lips tend to be:

thinner or narrower
flatter or less plump
further from the base of the nose

Men’s Chin and Jaw

a taller, angular and squarer chin
a larger and wider jaw
a thicker lower jawbone (mandible)

I would love to be able to tell but. I can’t see if she does or does not have an adams apple.

Have you played the alpha? Just look at her at the character-login-screen (not the Character-choosing-screen) Nothing of what you said fits the description there.

Since I can’t post links. Here is a link to a picture of the Amazon on the Playscreen

This jaw line is of a man and the wrinkles make her look over the age of 60.

This is not cool.

Yup older people generally weren’t warriors, They don’t have the stamina nor do they recover from wounds as fast as younger people nor heal as quickly. From everything I’ve seen and or read a fighter older than 40 was ancient considered too old and broken down to fight, Remember also that medicine was very primitive and or ignorant and frequently consisted of items and ingredients that killed more often than cured even in the 1800’s OTH even today doctors can be pretty :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: stupid PS I’ll be 68 this year and I can attest how hard it is keeping up with the kids back in 2006 I was struck by a SUV and thrown 10 feet had three broken ribs,A broken collar bone a concussion and the one thing that absolutely put me on my back was a chipped right knee :cold_sweat:

and it’s a picture of a 50-ish years old, possibly alcohol\drug abusing woman.
While d2 amazon, is referred to as a “young amazon”.
Same with sorceress btw, we have a 40++ y.o. sorceress in d2r, yet the first thing akara says to her is literally “greetings, young sorceress” .

I think Sorceress is the closest model of the original game. Every other model needs serious rework. Especially Assassin and Amazon.

I agree, it’s the best model among them, but it’s still quite bad. I understand what they were aiming for with these ugly characters, but it’s a total miss and should be redone from a scratch.

She looks minimum 20 years older than the original amazon In D2, why…?

Because these days you can identify as a carrot, or a salamander if you want to. The Amazon is probably with the times now and identifies as a man-faced brute who is easily offended by everything and somehow is probably racist now too. #Remaster

This 100%. We all know this is the reason behind it all.

I propose that we create a different, well written and well structured thread about this whole situation. There should be provided a detailed and factual comparison between D2 original characters design and D2R ones, with screenshots, artwork and etc. It can easily be proven that current D2R models are extremely different from the original design.

The main points:

  1. This is a remaster, not a remake. Devs should stay true to their promise.
  2. Characters should look as close to the original ones as possible.
  3. Adding details to the environment is not the same as completely changing player characters. It is too much!

Also it is very important to hear their reasoning about it. Assasin is now Asian? Okay. Can you please provide original artworks or lost lore where it is the same? No? Then why she is Asian? Why not make her an elf? An orc? A dwarf? A salamander? Is D2R setting 20 years later than D2:LOD? No? Then why all the characters are 20+ years older now?

Popular streamers are now calling amazon as granmazon, manazon and trapazon. So she is now a funny meme, I don’t like that. Why does she look so ridiculous now? I don’t want to play a meme/clown character. The last time the same thing happened was when people started calling W3R as Warcraft 3 REFUNDED… A bad sign. A very bad sign. I would reeeealy want to hear their answers.

I would create this thread myself, but English is my third language so it won’t be as effective. Can someone who is really good with words and editing do this please? I keep seening this same negative feedback across many platforms (reddit, youtube, twitch and etc), but I’m afraid devs won’t do anything if we won’t escalate this issue.

Some people here claim that they don’t care how characters look. Okay, but many people do. Please respect that.

No need for a new thread. OP just has to update the first post. Many people already posted screenshots and artwork comparisons. One of the best ones is this:

Here is a comparison of the old graphics vs the new. (You can’t tell that the D2:R is a female just by looking at her zoomed in):

Also, this picture should be added as it’s the best one I’ve seen for reworked character faces:

My favorites are:
Amazon - #3
Paladin - #4
Sorc - I actually like her face as is the most believe it or not lol. #1 (#5 is fine, too, though)
Assassin - #5 and #4 for sure
Necro - #4 or #5
Druid - #3
Barb - #2

Just looking now at the picture, It’s not only the looks of the amazon that feels very off to me, It’s the whole posture and position of the animations etc. The way she holds the javelin etc Is completely wrong vs the original

Sigh these fanmades look SO much better than the ones we have right now…

For me:

Amazon: 3 or 5 both work
Paladin: 3 or 4 both work
Sorc: 5
Assassin: 4 or 5
Necro: 2
Druid: 2 or 3
Barb: 2+2B
