Diablo 3 introduced five different character classes, from the Barbarian, to the Demon Hunter, Wizard, Witch Doctor, or Monk, each with different backgrounds, abilities, and specializations.

Even so, however, the story of the game had very few moments where it made direct references to a player's chosen character, essentially treating them in the same way no matter what.

This will change, however, with the release of Reaper of Souls, the first full-fledged expansion for Diablo 3.

According to Blizzard, which talked through the voice of Leonard Boyarsky with Diablo3.pl, way more references to a player's class and to its backstory are included in the new story act that's a part of the add-on.

"We wanted to show some more of the history of your character but also to give your character a little bit more personal stake in the battle. Turns out that Malthael has these spirits from your past whether they are from your long-distance past like barbarian or they are relatively new like wizard's or the demon hunter's," he said.
