Hello Diablo my old friend.
They recently announced the latest class, the rogue, with a bizarre trailer and an even more bizarre costume as the iconic look which seems to try to hedge in a few ideas in bizarre contradiction.
- An Assassin’s Creed style hood without any cape attached
- Two part thigh highs that are cloth from the top of the calf up
But of course, they have most of the classics as well.
- A Xena style combat corset with pauldrons and bracers, but no pants or helmet
- Extremely high profile, attention grabbing outfit for someone who supposedly pick pockets and moves unseen
- Combat style is sexy dancing with knives
Also, while she does look ambiguously brown in the final videos and character model… it seems pretty clearly this was a last minute decision based off the concept art.
Because brown women apparently need more media depicting them as morally bankrupt sexy thieves… according to Blizzard.
So I would like to take this opportunity to draw attention to this quote from November 2014, regarding Blizzard’s intentions with another game.
They really need to stop getting celebrated for talking the talk while they do the opposite of walking the walk.
