Players can choose High-Definition or Standard-Definition character models. Restored Classic animations are available on HD models, alongside modern and Classic visual presets.

Details

Blizzard text: 'High-Definition (HD) and Standard-Definition (SD) character-model options', 'restored Classic animations for HD character models', 'modern and Classic visual presets' Clay Stone, as quoted by Output Lag: 'Your character, the NPCs, other player characters, together, unified in either HD or SD.' The toggle applies game-wide, not per character Clay Stone, as quoted by Output Lag: 'No bouncy dwarves in this game' Unclear whether model choice and animation choice are separate settings (see conflicts)
