If you look at this new screenshot, you can see a dead NPC and some beasts. But where is the players charakter? A Diablo 3 fan noticed that too, and asked Blizzard about this interesting issue. Surprisingly, he got an answer. Bashiok denies nothing, in the same breath he clarifies nothing too.

This isn’t the first screenshot to be released where the player character isn’t shown.

It’s an option in our editor to hide various elements, and in the case of these shots the player was hidden to show off the environments and monsters.

And yes those are lootable corpses.

Diablo-3.biz thinks: An interesting rumor, but nothing more. Blizzard can remove this feature instantly, if they don’t like it.
