Story Lines

I feel that the story lines should change depending on what character you play as, instead of every character following the same story. This would add more freshness to the game, because each character will have a different story then the last.

Never bothered playing WoW, so I'm not like someone to know this.

Re: Story Lines

Aside from it sounding too "WoWish" do you guys think it would be interesting to play through the campaign a different way for each character?

I know I would like to, it would possibly offer some insight to the lore of the characters classes too, and their lineage and culture.

Re: Story Lines

it would be interesting, but it's not doable since there's so much extra work involved. have to write 5x the quests and npc dialogue, all the different artwork, etc. and then multiply that by every different language for the localization process.

that said, the d3 team did talk about some possible differnet quests and events for the classes, during the WWI panels. So while the main plot quests will be the same for all the characters (I believe), there might be some variety in smaller quests, or some class-based events. This was something the d2 team planned all along for HGL, then had to scrap when it was just too much work to pull it off, primarily for the reasons I outlined in the previous paragraph.

Re: Story Lines

as long as it's not complete different paths for each char, i actually like the idea. with smaller "single-player-char" quests, and then the "main road", playing along with all the other players.

sounds fun, and could be interesting. and then they could create the char-areas just for that type of char, which could make the game harder, deeper, and more adventouros (dont know if that's a word?)

Never in gaming history before the be-all-end-all game that is WoW has any game accomplished to make partial different stories for different character classes. Good thing we have WoW.

Re: Story Lines

This sounds nice in theory, but it would fail when it comes to co-op games.
What Blizzard is doing instead is adding class-specific quests, which is quite satisfactory, IMO.
