Yo what the hell? No Crusader?

[dontstopme]

Like, the iconic guy? Literally your first character ever in DD1? What were they thinking??

[Arhat]

they were not thinking straight

[Frostea]

Don’t care, never liked the crusader’s move set anyway.

It is a bit weird that there’s not even an explanation though.

Apocalypse happened, Crusaders lost their faith and purpose

gg wp
would be nice to encounter them as a mad boss of some sort

not a big deal

[Calum the Lustful Husk]

crusader has nasty connotations and we just cant have that in modern video games sorry hun x

There might be later. There are explanations why there is no Antiquarian for example. Personlly I like the mystery. They wouldn't ignore him just for the heck of it.

Perhaps they are saving him for post launch hype. Or maybe even a twisted secret roaming boss. But we all know the Flagellant was the real fan favorite anyways, and he'll be added in 1.0. HYPE!.

he sacrificed himself at the end of the first game sadly.....

lets see if we get a crusader type character in dlc or something

Something is planned. Every other character that isn't in the game at least as some kind of Easter egg explaing thier whereabouts. Crusader lore/info is nonexistent.

[Tzardok]

ah, I knew there would be someone else that already posted on this.

Thanks, I will keep it on my wishlist until the Crusader DLC comes out. The game will likely expand by then anyway which will likely be more interesting.

"It's not enough to have the skills, you got to look cool too." = Full plate / no face = awesomeness. This is the way.

Thank you all!

I hope they bring him back via a 10 bucks dlc.

[Orzeker]

I honestly can't handle the fact that 1.0 doesn't come with all of DD1 classes.
They're just gonna resell us some of them later on it looks like ... and that would be disgusting.

[HighLanderPony]

He ded af bois.

[Mister Sir]

I do think that they considered characters based not only on popularity but also move sets.
Every char in dd2 have more moves and crusaders entire move set from dd1 can be done by other chars, so it's quite possible they did not wanna have a character with moves that 3 other chars can do already.

[Tzardok]

yeah, those are good arguments, they just don't work for me.

Give me a helmet to hide a face behind and look awesome and I will be happy. They can apply cosmetics to existing classes or come up with someone else from the order, or just make up something new which is a heavy plate armor user - with helmet.

You get the idea. It was the sole character /class I kept around in the original and made the whole experience fun for me, I wouldn't have played the original without it, the gameplay won me over later, crusader didn't have the best of skills, but I don't really care much for it.

I also won't mind skipping this one, the first is a lot of fun, but I do want the second game to succeed, with or without me. its all good. Not every game needs to have knights, but I usually won't gravitate to those, there plenty of people who will however, no harm there.

You might get the crusader in a future paid DLC xD
