Diablo II Resurrected - close-up on the Lacuni Pantherwom...
4 years ago
Someone managed to datamine the D2 Resurrected alpha build and posted neat close-ups of the monster animations!

The good news is, the Pantherwomen look far more anthro than before, with faces that are less human-like and more like a sphinx cat mixed with a cheetah. They also have more lean, long limbs with nice digitigrade feet and a long tail. The quad-boobs also remain and yes, they have visible nipples, like the old models!
Bad news is, their boobs shrunk in the wash a lot - they are far smaller and less bouncy. Not as bad as the barely existing ones on the Diablo III models, but still far smaller than what I like. Wonder if the mesh can be edited, hmmm... Their skin is also wrinkly here and there, like real sphinx cats. They seem to have no fur - but then again that was kinda hard to tell with the old model as well, as they had a smooth CGI model that the sprites were based on - no CGI fur like on the werewolf model. I also like that they have those "puncture-skin decoration" on their arms and legs that some african tribes practice. We only see one type of outfit here - the base model without armor, my guess is - where she is only wearing a loincloth that's also attached to her neck collar. But I seen enough alpha gameplay vids to know the various corset-armor types will be present too, as well as their cool egyptian, greek, and horned helmets. Really looking forward to playing this game, and then, of course, drawing R34 of the kitties.

In any case, my current laptop probably won't be able to run it, so I'll decided if it's worth getting or not after watching some Twitch streams of it :D
I preordered right away, I mean I am sure I will play it more than Diablo III.
And hopefully we can mod the game to be able to play AS Lacuni.
Btw always wanted to see these gals in your style... you ever thought about drawing them?
Certainly more interested in it than I was in D3, which frankly, had a far less interesting skill system (though I did enjoy it for the story and art style)
Had a few characters in it too, but I do think that the barbarian was the one I played the most and got the furthest in. Though I can't really tell if I ever did beat the game on all difficulties or did I only stuck with one...
I too played Barbarian first. And honestly, was not a fan of the game in vanilla D2, I only started liking it more after the expansion fixed a lot of issues. I definitely never beat the game on Hell. Mostly did Bhaal and Mephisto runs on Nightmare. Had two Druids, one a Frenzy/Feral Rage werewolf, the other more of a summoner build with some werewolf skills. I don't think I ever played the Amazon or Paladin for long, ironic since the same is true for Grim Dawn - still have yet to play Oathkeeper.

And yeah, I already created an Oathkeeper, I think I want to use that "Captain America throws his mighty shield" skill. I almost completed the Virtue set, I think that's good for that?
Yeah, Virtue is the optimal set for elemental/fire based Aegis build, just need to pair it up with either Demolitionist or Arcanist mastery, depending what kind of skills you want as support.
And definitely gonna be drawing lot of Lacuni art once D2R is out.
