Me on BNet
Btw, if you want to find me playing D3 on Battle.net (which I will be doing feverishly for some time) I am Redcape#1348. Hopefully I can make posts on D3 this week instead of just playing more... we will see how my willpower holds up.
I got up at 7 AM this morning to play through the skeleton king before work. I played it so many times in beta that it's a little mechanical now. I think there might have been a slight balance tweak between the last time I played and now (monsters didn't die as regularly as I recalled to one arcane orb, but maybe I had a worse weapon than I recall), but for the most part it was just a quick walk through familiar territory.
The instant I walked out into a new zone I hadn't seen I was having the time of my life. Seriously Wood Wraiths made me giddy, and needing three orbs to kill beastmen was awesome. I'm not going to say that it's been hard, because it hasn't, but the fact that it isn't trivially easy is pretty incredible for normal difficulty.
Plus I read that someone managed to beat normal in 12.5 hours... That seems like a damn long time for normal difficulty to last.
