I enjoy being surprised by the reveal of classes when they die. Sometimes I’m 99% sure a player was one class even after reading the journal only to be completely shocked when the text pops up “Player bob was a Reaper.” This feeling is lost when you know the class when looking at the room the body is lying in.
The build-up to the reveal adds a lot of tension and drama for me, but if I recognize the room immediately I lose that feeling of anticipation.
My proposal is this – allow an option to show a pitch black background and then quickly fade to the room once the text reveals the player’s class.
