Well D2 establishes that pallys are not male only fara is a former paladin, the church of Zakarum (you know the one meph coruppted) is the church the Pallys come from and she is a former Zakarum, anyway I like the idea of gender choices and simple graphical changes like hair and face just a few varieties of each would still make a great deal of diversity in character stylings. And perhaps minor changes to skills and stats dependent on gender such as males are more geared toward str and vitality wheras the woman are more agile and have higher dex and energy (proof women are more agile - female strippers) no alternate races its established diablo continuity that humans are the only humanoid good race, the cat people used to be good and i think the goat people too, so without the influence of the prime evils perhaps they could be included in as good guys but not playable characters. wouldnt have the right feel,
