Diablo 4 is crossing the streams with Starcraft cosmetics, and honestly? A Terran marine makes a better Barbarian than I'd have expected

Starcraft cosmetics in Diablo 4.

Back in May, lead Diablo artists told PC Gamer that the best way to design Diablo art was to look at anything that wasn't Diablo.
