Dark Characters

I have been wanting the ability to choose sides for a long time. How awesome would it be to be able to choose an armored demon class with wings and fight from the perspective of Diablo's armies? Talk about never before seen within the franchise...

What does everyone think?
The ability to choose a Dark or Light Character Class

Then you get to stand somewhere and hope a lowlevel player walks merrily by?

Re: Dark Characters

This would really only work well in MMOs, which d3 won't be. Plus it would interfere with the lore since humans and demons really have no reason to allign.

Re: Dark Characters

It wouldn't make sense either since at this moment they have planned for 5 chars. Unless the light and dark chars are exactly the same, only good and evil it wouldn't make sense to have less than at least 10 different chars, possibly as much as 14 or more in a future expansion. Unless ofc you are a demon kind of char helping the humans, but that would still be stupid, and would also require a lot more classes.

Re: Dark Characters

Sounds a bit warcraft for ne. Light and Dark, allies and horde. I like the fence, being able to attack whatever. What would be better is the ability to accept quests from either sides, and get different results depending on the side you pick. Not picking sides generally, but on a moment to moment basis.

Re: Dark Characters

A renegade monster that you can play would be an interesting take. Maybe a rehabilitated Shaman ...

I don't think it's likely though but an interesting idea. The way D2 works (if I can use that as a reference) would make it an incredibly difficult project to pull off, though. It would have to be one of the 'bit player' monsters though; it would cause havoc in a Baal run to have two Listers.

In that case, what is the witch doctor doing in there? As someone said before in these forums, witch doctors, in theory, basically carry out the work of demons, so it doesn't really make sense having one fight against them...

I dunno, could be wrong

Re: Dark Characters

i've been thinking about this for many years now. as the alignment of any RPG, there could be some evil classes, and the game could be composed of two different single player campaigns, one for each side, which should complement each other. and in pvp, "good" players could team up against the "evil" characters. not only would this kick so much ***, but also add to a deeper development of the story. i am not talking about renegade monsters here, but demons that truly fight to destroy the forces of light.
