You all have a point about the first post. If you keep all the stuff from the old game, or even most or just a lot of it, it results in a very similar and almost boringly same game. I agree with Pale Horse on the fact that it looks like Tall N White just wants a new patch. Based on what you asked for, Tall N White, that is just a new patch. You didn't ask for anything insanely "new".

You said no to customization. True, it's going to be covered by armor, but if you remember your armor doesn't always cover all your body. It truly depends on what you're wearing, plus circlets let you see your head and stuff. So if customization was added, you would be able to see it, if you wanted to show it off. Male/Female choices is just another aspect to customization, Tall N White. Obviously you don't seem to mind too much if you don't have a choice, but some people like playing female characters, whereas some like playing males. It might help also with a bit of the gender mistakes, as I know I've been refferred to as a female quite a few times when playing a sorceress, amazon, or assasin. Some people don't like that, and would like to have a male version of those characters (and the converse, female versions of the males).

Overall though I must side with the others on this, your description of what you want in D3 is easily attainable through a patch to D2. It's good that you shared though.
