I don't get it. What does Diablo have to do with women? It's a male-centric story and franchise traditionally.
There is nothing feminine about it. What perspectives on story, graphics, and gameplay could a woman offer the Diablo franchise?

I wasn't being obtuse, but the last thing I think of in an AARPG is atmosphere, it's a loot mill.

My biggest issue with PoE is that you need to plan out your build from the start since you can't really respec. In that way, I find the experience more dynamic in D3 as you can adjust your build as you find cool items.
That said, D3 does lack some depth, while PoE is probably too complex now as it expanded over the years.
The 2 games have different audience though as mentioned. D3 is more casual and PoE more hardcore, that's good that both playerbase have a game for them.
I don't have much faith left in Blizzard though, I think most of the talent left years ago. Maybe they'll surprise me, but Diablo IV isn't something I have huge interest in, maybe closer to release in 10 years.
Blizzard also needs to up their development rate, and especially making content updates. Their glacial pace isn't working today with so much competition in all genres.

PoE has two things I hate:
1) 200 currencies. They need a small number of currencies and crafters to use them with, like have one currency that takes no inventory space for sockets/links/colours and you take it to a blacksmith to buy rerolls instead of doing it yourself from inventory. Maybe even have the same currency do other things.
2) Boring gems. Linking the aoe or multistrike gem to a single target single hit melee is fun. Linking it to the increased fire damage, added fire damage, imcressed elemental damage, increase melee damage gems is fuckinh stupid. Abilities have too many features baked in which makes the need for gems less important.
What they do have is good world building and good systems if you ignore the bloat. Diablo only has good combat feel.

Probably looking forward to this than most, but I hope they do better w/ the lighting. The shadows come and go in that first clip as he's running through narrow areas, but it's clear it's some artificial global thing they have going on or the shadows cast would be very different in spots like this... not a deal breaker or anything as it won't always be very obvious if you're not looking for it, but this bugs me a little. Just before the bridge the shadow does move apparently with lighting, but I wonder if that's actually a transition to a new area which has a different global point of light and it just fades in/out as you walk near some other sources.
