The story within D3 is supposed to be 20 years after the events of D2, so they tried to make the barb look 20 years older than he did in D2 i'm assuming

Correct. One of the panels, said it's 20 years after D2, the Barb has seen some stuff, got some scars. Seen his ancestral home (AS) destroyed ..

I like him. I just hope the poor git isn't chased around by a lonely Charsi. That was old in D2.

Also .. give the poor female barb some clothes. It isn't just men that need protection.

I think the idea of a battle scarred Barbarian fits in very well with DIII and think that it will give him some more character, aside from the sheer youthful pwning power of DII's barb.

Maybe there will be a selection of ointments available from Deckard Cain for his Lumbago etc.

Keeping that in mind Cain should have died within those 20 years I guess ^^ Lel if they should actually add the nec, they should give him a grey beard aswell and a stick like Cain to walk with :]

I like his older look very much, and especially his voice, it just fits very well to his appearance as a battle-hardened veteran: "It's time for shedding our enemies blood, not idle talk."

Being a medieval setting, he is probably too old to fight anymore. Most people in this time died quite early from our perspective (40 years was really old). But I don't mind this, it's Diablo after all, not some medieval simulation game. Go go elder barb!

I'm a big fan of this style decision. It makes for a really interesting character to play.
