The Barbarian is back, and he (or she) is bigger and better. There's a great emphasis on power and destruction; on wanting every movement to look massive and devastating. The D3 Team spoke about the character concept during the WWI 2008 [[WWI_2008:_Denizens_of_Diablo_Panel|Denizens of Diablo]] panel.
::''This is actually the same individual from Diablo 2. He's aged twenty years, and he's got a personality in this game. Look at his gear; his [[armor]] has points on which he could impale himself. It's extra protection for the harsh environment, but it's also dangerous to him. The day to day life characters lead in this world is very hard.''
::''With the Barbarian, we had to updating a classic. The Barbarian was exciting for us to work on -- to take a classic char we all love to play and bring him back to life. What's this guy been doing for the past 20 years? This guy's 8 feet tall and 300 lbs of pure muscle. He saw things during the events of Diablo II that would have killed most people, but he's still around. In D3 we aged him, grayed his hair, gave him some scars. We think those elements help sell the story visually. Signs of age, how he wears his armor. All that helps us tell the story visually. ''
