Why was the story garbage to you?

I feel like story is over complicated and does not fit diablo world. New characters are generic and uninspiring. Here are some points:

1. No expand on previous, even diablo 3 "story". I don't like d3 story either, but where are monks, witch doctors, nephalems (no idea why they added that, but still), new zones they added just don't correlate with previous iterations of franchise.
Look at dungeons, for example, lore wise it just pure generic stuff. And bosses - who are "blood bishop", "tomb lord", etc? LOL, looks like they just came in and draw bunch of random monsters and put them as dungeon bosses in game.

2. Direct course to make angels "bad guys", what is the reason for that? (except Tyrael, but who knows)

3. Constant flow of "corrupted knights" from corrupted orders, I think even expansion will have another one.
Diablo franchise is famous for killing demons, and suddenly you find yourself constantly fighting "knights".
Yes, Inarius did mistakes, but how knights became evil? Do they serve diablo? Probably not, because they were fighting againts demons. So if no, again, how does this make any sense?

4. Main villain of original game - Lilith is evil they tell us, but suddenly it is mother of mankind. As a result, you doesn't really feel she is antagonist, it is always like 50/50 situation. And they constantly make you feel she is not really evil.
And again - if they want player feel positive about Lilith, fine, but why make her main boss and force player to kill her? She could be demon renegade like Tyrael is a fallen angel, and npc who is helping player to fight prime evils.

5. Lilith vs Inarius moment - you see some strange monologue that she is not happy, and then she just kills Inarius. Lol, how is that even possible?
The situation itself is just dumb, it is not like his army is defeated, and there is nowhere to run, etc. Big angel guy just die miserably in some random cave, lol.

Forgot to mention, Lilith design is pretty mediocre for such big of a role. Look, for example, at diablo, mephisto, etc, from previous games, or look at angels.

She is not really sexy, not really scary, not really anything.

She is wearing like regular clothes - even some crazy anime style armor with crazy weapons like d3 expansion guy had would be much better.

i am excited cuz easy fg lolz

1. There are characters whether it’s npc or player made that fit all of those. It’s pretty much implied since d2 about nephalem. Rathma was in this game. He is a Nephalem and has kind of a major role honestly without giving off spoilers for people. Technically all of humanity are nephalem.
Generic bosses. I can’t argue with but tbh every Diablo game has generic bosses “The Skeleton King”?

2. Angels have been corrupt for decades in the series. Remember when all but Tyrael refused to help in D2? It’s even mentioned.

3. The same way every religious or government becomes corrupt. Humans are naturally corrupt.

4. I never felt positive about Lilith. She is a demon and thus manipulative. They call her Mother because she and her Angel lover rebelled against the powers that be and helped create things but remember what they created… a corrupt world full of evil and murder and crimes ripe for demonic picking.

5. “Fallen Angel”. Let’s clarify that. He was not good and he was banished from heaven same as Izual. He just never fully took Hell’s side. He was corrupted and weakened from that and in a way mortal from it. I do think we might see him again in a more “possessed” state. The biggest difference is Izual became corrupted and wanted to stay in hell and he wants back in heaven and is so arrogant he thinks he is still righteous.

Can you elaborate a bit, or is it a secret?

every season is the same. Farm, sell services or items. Never smth else.

I uh won't focus on drinking for a day or two

Cinematics are good? Bro tf you're talking about, cinematics are getting worse and worse, they're shorter than before, way cheaper, more cutscenes than actual cinematics.. Also add some TikTok music on top, instead of blizzard's old-school sound effect team.. If you'd compare immortal and 'this' diablo, you'd get more sense what's actually up with the game 😂 anyway 40$ down the drain, for a single immortal update-like patch 😂 gl little horses, carry blizzard forward

I'm a little excited. Feel like the game is finally at the point it should have been day 1 launch.

I've been a big anti d4 person so far since the game was a huge let down scam bs trash for many seasons until like last season at least.

But they made some great changes and have been slowly improving and that's good. It still borrows too much from d3 and i dislike that, but this is 2024 blizzard, having any sort of diablo 2 expectation is a brain damage take.

I just hope the new classs isnt op broken just because its new.
