I'm a lifelong Diablo fan, so I'll probably pick this up next week. One thing that bugs me is that folks keeps saying "it's just cosmetics". To me, this ignores the fact that, since Diablo 3, your character's look is part of the fun. That cool armor you just found looks cool too. Now I worry that the gear is going to look boring so that you're subtly nudged in the direction of buying cosmetics.
Basically, I still want to be able to play dress-up.
I can say that the armor available in Diablo IV is pretty solid. You can make your character look pretty badass without cosmetics. But it's still ridiculous both that they exist at all and the cost is ridiculous.
Is it only cosmetic or are their buffs associated, too?
Just cosmetic. D4 has a transmog system where you can apply any appearance you've unlocked to your equipment. The store cosmetics just add those appearances to the list.
Thank you!
But they still won't let me run around looking and sounding like Deckard Cain, so what's the point in buying any cosmetics?
