Nice. Does look a bit like a wetsuit though. I’d like to see something more like Black Widow’s outfit in Avengers, I think. If you’re wearing a leather catsuit, might as well show some cleavage

“I spent a good portion of my early 20′s in stiletto boots, fishnets, and miniskirts going to fetish/goth clubs.”

Good for you! I was an indie kid, we went clubbing in jeans and trainers I may be a bit biased because the one person I knew who was a goth stayed over at my place once and peed in the waste paper basket in my bedroom. I don’t think she was typical though!

I spent a good portion of my early 20′s in stiletto boots, fishnets, and miniskirts going to fetish/goth clubs. There’s a time and place for everything. I’m kind of done wishing for better depictions of women in games; at the very least, this discussion has lit a new fire under my ass to get back to work on making them

Feel free to post. Tobold is kind of full of it on this subject, so don’t let him get to you. (And believe me, even in my clubbing days, the only sorts of clubs anyone would go to wearing thigh high stiletto boots and hotpants would have been fetish clubs. It’s not standard gear, much as he’d like to believe it And it’s perfectly reasonable to not want your character to look like someone who hangs out in fetish clubs.)

Not too late to post this, I hope. I had an interesting exchange of emails with Tobold on the subject, which I’ve posted here: http://humanchild.net/?p=88

Read what I said again. I do not beleive that race should be the driving force behind character design…..period. Blizzard could make the DH look middle eastern, they could make it look like a zergling from starcraft if they wanted to. I wouldn’t advise it, but they could do it. They have a character, and they have to decide what to make it look like. The driving force behind their decision is how it fits with the style of the character within the D3 franchise. They felt that a DH in Diablo 3 fits best as an olive skinned fellow. That was their artistic image.

Do you think they have 5 characters and say….”well we have 5 characters, and we will put all their names in a hat. The first one I pull out will be white, the second one I pull out will be middle eastern, the third will be asian….”? Putting some sort of “affirmative action” style rules on character design would stifle their ability to design because they would be forced to change their designs based on things unrelated to the game itself.

Nu. Mesmer looks more uhh… Nikita! Lol. They are more flouncy … I mean courtly… somehow. With just the right combo of dye and armor though, sin can pull it off!

…now, if only there were more games with that look as an option.
