From WWI 2008 :
"This is actually the same individual from Diablo 2. He's aged twenty years,
and he's got a personality in this game.. Look at his gear; his armor has
points on which he could impale himself. It's extra protection for the harsh
environment, but it's also dangerous to him. The day to day life characters
lead in this world is very hard. With the Barbarian, we had to updating a classic.
The Barbarian was exciting for us to work on -- to take a classic char we all
love to play and bring him back to life. What's this guy been doing for the past
20 years? This guy's 8 feet tall and 300 lbs of pure muscle. He saw things during
the events of Diablo II that would have killed most people, but he's still around.
In D3 we aged him, grayed his hair, gave him some scars. We think those elements help
sell the story visually. Signs of age, how he wears his armor. All that helps us tell
the story visually.
