Jay Wilson: Bringing D1 chars back to D3

I found this here. Don't know if it's already been discovered yet, but wouldn't hurt to show it.

Jay Wilson
“We also tried to focus a little more on bringing characters back, and not just from ‘Diablo II’ but from ‘Diablo I,’” he said. “We feel like a lot of the focus is on ‘Diablo II’ but ‘Diablo I’ started it all and has a lot of really good stuff on the gameplay side and on the character side. So people can expect to see characters from ‘Diablo I,’ more characters from ‘Diablo II,’ and characters from some of the books. We’re definitely going to bring a few of them in.”

I bet you guys 10$ that one of the other 3 classes are either the warrior, rogue, sorcerror

Re: Jay Wilson: Bringing D1 chars back to D3

This was posted quite some time ago, and what it means isn't that we'll see playable characters from Diablo 1, it means old NPC's will be making a comeback.

Good lord, I could not name one single character from D1, that is like 10 years ago. I can't even remember what clothes I wore yesterday!

d1 didnt have many characters at all, i dont see how you could forget them. personally i think its a great idea to bring back as many characters from old diablo games as possible(well without over doing it)

Re: Jay Wilson: Bringing D1 chars back to D3

I don't see which characters from DI could be brought back in DIII. According to Cain, most of the people in Tristram were killed, and there weren't that many to begin with. We know for sure that Griswold and Wirt were killed. Farnham and Pepin were probably killed. The only ones I can see surviving are Adria, Pepin, Gillian and her gran. I don't think we will see any of the NPC enemies being brought back, aside from Diablo himself. I suppose they could bring the Butcher back, which would be pretty cool IMO.

That was a trip down memory lane, how the heck did you remember all of those? Only names I remembered was wirt and griswold, and those are mostly cheating since we have references to them in D2.

I'm currently playing through DI again with all the chars, starting with the Warrior. Partly because I want something to play while I wait for DIII to be released and partly to see if I can find any hints that will reveal what the storyline for DIII is going to be.

Also, the reference to Wirt and Griswold in DII is how I know for sure that they're dead.

Bring back the Rogue with her voice actress. The voice actress is a must.

i am betting the witch is back, i am sure of that. not sure if anyone besides her will return but i would eliminate gillian and her gran(its been 20 years). i would also eliminate farnham again cause it has been so long and how long can a man really live like he was? however he was probably the most popular npc in d1 and maybe the entire series? that leaves who? pepin? eh, rather boring but he could play the healer role again. ogden? no point really and who liked him anyway?

anyway just my opinion
