Can you skip normal and start out at nightmare?

No :(

But if you started on Nightmare with a L1 character with no skills you would die on the first zombie pack into Tristram

I wonder, what are the perks for playing at higher difficulties aside from added challenge? Titan Quest handled this nicely in regards to drops and bosses. Once you reach the last difficulty you start getting relic recipe drops that allow you to make relics from the Gods and you also seeing the absolute best dropped gears.

Different enemy suffixes (so they do different shitty shits to you).
Randomised events that you didnt see in your first playthrough.
New armor tiers.
New recipes and gems I guess.

Watch this vid, the first bit is about this.

Id like to do this too, but alas.

I played through the demo a 2nd time with my barbarian last night, because I got a yellow sickle for her and now was able to dual wield awesome sickles and also it never really gets old hitting a zombie and then watching them fly off into a chasm or whatever.  She was so kitted out that it was basically like I was some sort of God that beamed down to laugh at a bunch of pitiful zombies n' crap, which makes me excited to try out higher difficulties.

Of course, I'm also excited to open Crazy Uncle Triumph's House of Item Farmin'

The weight of the combat is just perfect yeah. Hitting a zombie with the barb is like unfffffff

I think I'll try to beat Dungeon Siege 3 before this comes out.

Yeah this ain't gonna happen. After playing for about 30 minutes, I think its absolutely terrible. Nice job Obsidian.

Yeah, I only had a chance to play as the Witch Doctor, and when I beat Leoric for the first time he dropped a godly rare dagger. +8 to life after every kill, 15 dps, unkillable after that. Also, thanks for the info., Himuro, didn't know you could die in the Beta.

Grindan my way to Lv. 13 with my Wizard. Equipped enough items so that I got +24 XP for every kill, and it still took nearly 3 complete runs to get from 10 to 13.

I think you also died when you joined my game as a level 1 and we then did the Jar of Souls event where a google amount of skeletons come out.  Though to be fair, you were level one but yeah.

I encountered a new Monster Type after 6 months of beta.

The suffix "Waller" gives mobs the ability to build walls that you cannot shoot or move through. Shit like this will get one killed later on.

I loved the first game when I was growing up, and for this one, I think i'm going to jump straight into it Hardcore mode. I've been playing a lot of nethack type stuff lately, and the feeling of perma-death really adds something.

Watching the TV spot I totally forgot about Blizzard being kinda known about their CG stuff. Another aspect to look forward and its going to be a blast to see some of the major players in the past with modern CG.

I strongly recommend you complete the game on Normal at least once before trying this

You have to play through normal first I'm afraid.

A buddy gifted me Torchlight on Steam, and while it's a fun diversion it just lacks some weird intangible element that makes the Diablo games what they are.  Should tide me over for a couple of weeks I guess.

agreed, but Torchlight II should hopefully up the ante and be a real competitor

There isn't much the world in Torchlight.  Torchlight 2 is supposed to add a lot more, but it's coming out after Diablo 3 and well...

At least I'll miss having a pet in Diablo 3.

What are your experiences finding legendary items?  I only ask because of the 'randomness of drops' the devs talk about.

What character are you guys going with first? Monk and barbarian really wet my whistle, but I think I'll roll with a monk at first.

Torchlight sucks. That game is incredibly boring beyond belief.

Here's hoping Torchlight 2 is a better product, but I'd rather play a new Diablo clone from the ex Titan Quest guys.

Same here, likely a Barbarian because I like seeing enemies fly all over the screen when I whomp on them.  I'm a simple man.

Himu- I wouldn't say it "sucks" but it definitely suffers from a case of "not Diablo-itis"

I have to say that the production values of this game, so far, are second to none. When is the last time you have seen a commercial for a PC game?

SC2 is quality... obviously it comes down to preference and since I don't like RTS games so much (and don't even see mmorpgs as actual games) I'd prefer it if they did nothing but Diablo games but what can ya do.

oops i always forget about sc2.  if a company's gonna put out a non-pirateable $60 game and expect me to bite then it's gonna have to be in a genre i really love, and i don't love rts

sc1 was tons of fun back in the day, til the multiplayer scene got too crazy for normal-thinking people to keep up with

I really like WC3 though I admit it's not for everyone. I love the story and the rpg elements. I wish Blizz would make a new Warcraft. :(

Is WC2 still worth playing?
