Diablo 2: Developer Pushed for Playable Demons, Angels & Humans for the Cancelled Diablo 3 MMO
Did you know? Diablo Trivia #4 #shorts
In a tweet by Diablo 2 Lead Artist Phil Shenk he confirmed that he was pushing the cancelled Diablo 3 MMO to feature different playable races, outside of human beings INCLUDING - Demons & Angels. The reasoning would be`with the World stone being destroyed at the culimination of D2, would result in humanity being on equal footing with angels & demins alke... resulting in an interesting faction war of the three vying for power.
The reason this never came to fruition, outside the fact Blizzard North was famously shut down was that Phil later would concede it may have taken away from the Gothic horror tones of the series, as humans being equal would have nothing to fear from angels & demons.
Which is ironic due to diablo 3's nephalem centric story which didn't give us a chance to play angels or demons but instead made humans comically over powered.
Diablo 4 was looking to feature Demonic, Angelic & Ancient or human powers as the attributes tied to weapons but have since scrapped the idea as the developers felt it was a poor fit.
What do you think? Playable Angels or demons or is humanity best left to its own devices?
