The "balance out" comment made me cringe. This is the sort of thing that really gets under my skin. It should not be about balancing out or whatever. Create a character that makes sense and is well developed, period. Does not matter what race or gender the character ends up being; what matters is whether or not it is done well. The fact that this article exists and that there is so much focus on "balance" bothers me. Just hope to get more information on everything else that matters (since very little was even touched upon at E3).

@jkittleson: This is a matter of personal opinion, not objectivity. For example, you disagree with the addition of an art book when I myself really enjoy them. They are remnants of an era where we would get concept art and really nice drawings of characters from back in the day. I still have my Warcraft 2 manual which has some amazing illustrations from Metzen.

The toy/figuring would be nice but they typically end up costing a lot more if they go that route. If willing to spend the money, that is fine. But not everyone would be wanting to do that. A poster is not nearly as nice, but that is just my opinion. They used to be much more common back in the day but now they have sort of died off. They will occur but with less frequency. They are just simply not nearly as much in demand.

There is clearly still a demand for what is being given. If not, Blizzard would be doing something else. I personally chose not to get them since I am not a big of a fan for Sc2 as I am with others. I have the CE for D3, Warcraft 3, and WoW vanilla. Like I said, would be nice if more but these are also expansions, not full game releases.
