We have all seen the complaints about the graphics (I would be fine if they wouldn't change anything at all). I think most people forget that diablo 1&2 had extreme small light radii.

I think people overlook the effect this has on overall feeling of atmosphere in especially isometric games. (Would be annoying in 3d-environments) That being sad, I hope they will add this effect into the game. Not necessarily as much as the two previous games but maybe a nice middle way between those games and the screenshots.

Something like this maybe?

(Of course blizzard is way better with lightning effects then me :P)

Right! good one! That radii gives indeed more d2 feeling.

That looks great! Did you even mess with the saturation or overall brightness or anything?

Just added a big dark circled around the witch docter with the "paint bucket" tool (not paintbucket but the other one where you can add blends). And added an extra lightsource to the firebomb thing.
