idbeholdME: The Putin looking guy (if you mean the pale one) is Rathma, one of the first Nephalem, the creator of Necromancy and a direct descendant of Inarius and Lilith.
Cinematics unfortunately don't mean much. One thing Blizzard has always been the best at are cinematics. So the fact that this one looks good too is not surprising.
Regarding the game, I hope that the story is decent (meaning no legendary character dying to butterflies for example) and that the single player is good and multiplayer is not overemphasized.
I also noticed that enemies still flash white whenever they are hit. I hated that in D3 and it is unfortunately still there.
1st bit: Wait, the magic of necromancy didn't exist before the nephalim? That seems odd/contradictory to prior lore. Or do you mean non-demon/angel necromancy?
2nd bit: True enough
3rd bit: This for the most part.
4th bit: I liked that.....they have to show that the player is making damage to the enemies somehow, right? Though if they make it toggleable that might make everyone happy.
