Diablo III Ideas

[Minionman]

I would like a few types of character classes, with different races in each class, such as an Orc Warrior, a Demonic (not sure which type would work, some sort of Imp perhaps?) Spy, an Elven Mage, or perhaps Human 'Diplomat' (by which I mean one who attempts to subjugate the foes without ever fighting them, by turning them on themselves [AI altering things would be this guy's specialty
And most importantly, have Reziarfg in the Secret Chicken Level beating Cain with the candlestick.

PLEASE no elves, orcs, etc. Sorry but there are already plenty of games with those things in them. One nice thing about D2 is that it uses a different bunch of creatures. Look at it this way, you have humans, saber cats, yeti/wendigo, possibly others on earth, and humans are incredibly costumizable, in hell there are tons of demons, you have succubi, enslaved, venom lords, oblivion nights, etc. to pick from. Heaven doesn't have many choices, maybe different types of angels could be used, or other creatures could be made up. The rest of your ideas are pretty good.

It does make sense for the skills to be based in the species. Humans could use pretty much any skill, are slightly weaker at close combat and stronger at ranged and magic, saber cats get good ranged skills, Succubi can only use demonic and neutral skills and are good at ranged attacks, Angels get lightning and heavenly skills and are good at close combat and magic but not ranged, Oblivion knights are mainly magic and use any such skills except heavenly ones, the list could go on and on.
