I see everything I would expect from The Pits or any other interior design in Diablo 2. I’m going strictly on what I see in the videos. W ithout showing combat and monster density it is really hard to gauge the areas for what they are. I’m going to give my thoughts on the different areas and some of the art style depending on the area. What I saw was the insistence of moving 110% away from Diablo 3’s color palette. I envision a few towns looking like Tar Valon from The Wheel of Time series.Īfter viewing the videos, I did not see that from the developers. I would be happy with a couple central hubs that are still going strong. Westmarch is a bustling hub of trade and although Diablo 3’s vision is not what I’d like to see reproduced. That little snippet of what we get shows beauty. Look at the Pandemonium fortress for example in Diablo 2. One key sentence that I felt directed the entire art direction was: “Even the wealthiest areas in Sanctuary are challenging to exist in.” Challenging does not mean lacks beauty. After reading all the books and playing all the games I envision Sanctuary as: A sprawling and bustling world with different religions, building methods, and bustling towns/cities about with the smaller villages scattered throughout. Like Tristram, but without the giant Cathedral in Diablo 1. In that small town or village traders such as Warriv come to hawk wares and shelter for the night at the small tavern or inn. Imagine the Rogue Camp being on the outskirts of a small town where the rogues come to train. There will always be little bright villages and towns where people go about their daily lives and thrive. It wasn’t totally cut off from the outside darker world, but set the tone of Sanctuary. In that the main character, Uldyssian, lived in a small village that was in a forest surrounded by life. I read the Sin War back around 2008 give or take a year. Yes, Sanctuary is very dark and the best other fictional world I would compare it to is: Hyborian Age in Conan the Barbarian. The PR team used focused keywords to get you enticed into the dark and medieval look strung about the article. The second time through I watched the videos as intended in the March 2022 Diablo 4 quarterly update. I went through the quarterly update without watching any videos on my initial pass.
