Some juicy Gheed dialogue selected for ya:

"You're a brave soul! I'd sooner thrust my sacred scepter into the foulest, carbuncular trull than set one boot into that cave."

"Ah, Cain is here... another customer. I haven't been this pleased since a love-starved maiden let down a bit more than her hair."

"Guess what! I've named a boil on my ass after you. It, too, bothers me every time I sit down."

"I guess it's too late to take back some of the names I called you."

"When - or if - I get to Lut Gholein, I'm going to find the largest bowl of Narlant weed and smoke 'til all earthly sense has left my body."

"That old coot, Cain, is as crazy as a wet Quill Rat. I hear he survived whatever happened in Tristram. Personally, I wouldn't trust a thing he has to say."


There, I've proven my point now now it's up to you to come up with counter argument good luck I'll wait ;)

So toning dialogue for a wider audience is "woke"?

Because you aren't giving me any examples from Diablo 3 so I can't see any other interpretation

You're the one going to check D3, I'm not touching that shit game and apparently nobody cared to write down the dialogue lines in that wiki which tells you something ;)

So are you calling d3 woke for turning down the dialogue, and that's why it wasn't well received?

I'm going out of my way to not misrepresent your claim so please tell me if I'm wrong

I haven't purchased a blizzard game since Diablo 3. Not going to purchase Diablo 4 unless it gets rave reviews from trusted sources and the streaming looks good.

Already stated they messed up on all fronts we're not talking about all that, I explained that politically correct BS started seeping into games around that time (2012 release).

Don't know why I have to repeat that for ya but ok maybe you're not that sharp. Anyway you went from:

To:

You're literally contradicting yourself, lol. First you state you were so disappointed in D3 that you're never going to purchase another Blizzard game, next thing you sound like you're ok with toning down the game to appeal to a wider audience.

The core of this debate is that an ARPG game should me made for ARPG players, a magical world / dungeon crawler, an evil overrun world. Woke political correctness BS has no place in this it will completely ruin immersion.

Now come at me ;)

he stated above its one of many reasons why D3 failed, but that wokeness is endemic in blizz's recent works, and that the dialogue in D3 is an example of this.

he's right of course, blizzard's new dev team is shamefully vanilla and woke for a company that used to give kids nightmares and shamelessly made the act 1 boss have pierced titties on full display.

Gotta make sure its cartoon so parents buy the games then slap kids with constant smashes of dopamine via loot boxes to gain reoccurring transactions.
