Diablo<\/em> 4<\/em> does character creation and customization better than any Diablo game to date, letting players design their class with beautiful details. A variety of hair styles, skin tones, colors, jewelry, and markings will let players create their own personal Barbarian, Necromancer, or Rogue \u2014 but only to a point.<\/p>\n the art direction of Diablo 4<\/em>, which leans heavily on inspiration from medieval and Old Masters paintings, applies to character creation as well. While there are options for green-hued hairstyles and colorful body paint, custom characters in Diablo 4<\/em> look grounded and realistic \u2014 not like they’ve spawned from an episode of Monster Factory, or out of a Saints Row cutscene.<\/p>\n There are dozens of hair colors and skin tones, and in the preview build we played this weekend, four feminine and four masculine faces per class. (The game does not appear to actually use male\/female descriptors for its characters, for what it’s worth.) That build also featured 10 unisex hair styles, including close-cropped pixie cuts, long flowing ponytails, tied-up dreadlocks, and tight , natural curls. Beyond that, there’s a lot of jewelry. a lot<\/em>.<\/p>\n Makeup and body paint are thematically appropriate, and again, unisex. If you want a dark eyeshadow for your Barbarian dude, go for it. It looks good. If you want some smeary corpse paint for your Necro, that’s there too.<\/p>\n
