In an interview with AusGamers, lead level designer Kevin Martens talked about the development origins of the new Crusader Class for Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls and revealed that designing a new class is not only expensive, but very heavy on resources.
"Once you dial into the fantasy, figuring out how he tactically sits differently from everybody else so that he doesn’t just feel like another look and variety of visuals on the powers that ultimately all do the same thing… there’s nothing more expensive than a character class for us; nothing takes more time, nothing takes more people -- it’s an enormously expensive thing because everything needs to feel so different.”
The full interview talks more about Adventure Mode, Lighting, Nephalem Rifts and more.
