Apparently Diablo III will remain faithful to its legacy
(and this is maybe one of the best news) and its epic story will start twenty
years after the events of Diablo II.
The players will have fie distinct characters classed from
which to choose, and two of them were already announced: the Barbarian and the
Witch Doctor.
The official site, www.diablo3.com,
has already extended presentations of these two new characters.
“The barbarians consider it their sworn duty to protect MountArreat
and the mysterious object within. They believe that if they fail to uphold
their duty to the great mount, or are not given a proper burial upon its
slopes, they will be denied a true warrior's death, and their spirits shall
roam the land without honor for all eternity” is written in the presentation of
Barbarians.
Apparently, the Witch Doctors are similar to the Necromancers
from Diablo II.
“The witch doctors are finely attuned to this UnformedLand and are able to train their minds
to perceive this reality through a combination of rituals and the use of
selected roots and herbs found in the jungles. They call the state in which
they interact with this other world the Ghost Trance” wrote Abd al-Hazir in
their presentation.
