NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If you just wanted to play the damn game, then why does the story matter, OP?
If you did want the story, you should've actually paid attention instead of mashing through.
I'm sure there's a all cutscenes video on youtube somewhere, or a lore breakdown.
gottem, op is too poor to afford d4
>he missed the part where you get raped by lilith
Does any Diablo aside from 1 have story worth paying attention to at all? 2 just devolved into power level wank and 3 is a bad YA novel.
I never advocate to skip the story, but in this case you might as well, since it's complete trash. Ultimately, Mephisto convinces you to kill Lilith, Diablo never appears, all the "supporting cast" are irredeemable garbage, and the plot points like Astaroth's are insultingly boring.
No, everything after Diablo 1 story-wise is just worse and worse.
>But then nothing really makes fricking sense does it?
It's been the standard ever since 2004. WoW rapes the lore over and over, including its own; S2 character-assassinated literally everyone from earlier; Overwatch is just complete shit.
>and the plot points like Astaroth's are insultingly boring
Andariel deserved to be better than be overhyped to hell and then die like a random mob with unique skin.
at least andariel had some fanfare and leadup and a somewhat cool summoning. duriel was just stuck in some room and jobbed to your char who wasn't even sure if he/she actually killed a lesser evil.
I hate most is they have shitty cutscenes for moments that could be done via dialog as you're running.
I've gotten used to that, but there's this part in Act 5 where you have to run around in a swamp with Lorath and Neyrelle, and they keep stopping (and I'm on a horse, so WAY behind me) so I can go back and talk to them.
4 is miles better than 3
So it's still dogshit?
What kind of potato are you running? I get 150-165fps solid at 4k native ultra settings.
Not him I run it at max with HD textures at 60 but at launch I had to use DLSS to hit 60 all the time. Now I hit 60 without DLSS and the game looks much better. Until about yesterday I had an issue that whenever I closed the map I would get fps drop for a second but they fixed that as well.
game runs fine but there appears to be a memory leak so the longer you play, the more likely you are to run into it. once you fps get's all fricky just close the game and re open it.
Lilith, creator of Sanctuary, wants to eat her father, Mephisto, prime evil of hatred, to absorb his power. She wants to further sever Sanctuary from the eternal conflict between heaven and hell, which is the entire reason she created Sanctuary to begin with. The angel dude wants to stop her because he's obsessed with some prophecy he heard once, and he desperately wants to earn his way back to heaven.
Most of the story follows Lilith's exploits to gain entrance to hell and to Mephisto's domain within it. Mephisto is weak for some reason and asks the player character to help him defeat Lilith since you both share the same goal. When everyone finally gets to hell, the angel tries to complete the prohpecy by killing Lilith, but he dies like a little b***h. Then your plan is to imprison Lilith inside of a pokeball because she's too powerful to kill. But when you get to Mephisto's temple you let the asian self-insert chick convince you that it would be better to imprison Mephisto instead. Then Lilith shows up and you outright kill her, because aparently the player character is stronger than an angel, and killing her was an option all along. Then the asian chick runs away to the other side of the world, alone, carrying one of the most powerful and evil beings in existence. The player character decides it isn't important enough to chase after her and the game ends. Until something inevitably goes wrong in an upcoming expansion/DLC.
Mephisto planned it, she's the new wanderer
It's honestly a terrible setup to the next wanderer.
D1: Corruption and insanity compel the warrior to slam the soulstone into his head. There is no setup, nobody knows what soulstones are, it's an impulse reflex and a lasting regret.
D2: They're smashed, we're done, right? Right?
D3: Nope there is a black one that can hold a whole orgy, let's smash that one too.
D4: Here we go again.
But then nothing really makes fricking sense does it?
>But then nothing really makes fricking sense does it?
Thats usual Blizzard fare. Their lore is moronic and they never thought anything through. Every game they ever made is like this. It's just random ideas some moron thought sounded cool with no thought put into anything. Much like their actual games and why they're all shit.
I don't know how you fricks ever ate up their trash.
I thought people play Blizzard games for how tight the gameplay feels and it arguably does feel good to control things in their games.
I LOVE getting on a horse just to rubberband the entire time, get stuck on pebbles, move spastically because speed is tied to where the mouse is on screen (lol) and have to get off every 30s because of a barricade you can’t get through. It’s to POGGERS
>Corruption and insanity compel the warrior to slam the soulstone into his head. There is no setup, nobody knows what soulstones are, it's an impulse reflex and a lasting regret.
Where was this said? I was under the impression the warrior did what he did because he thought he was the only way to contain Diablo, then in D2 you see that the Haradrim pulled that shit with Baal and Tal'Rasha.
Tal’rasha was mentioned in the D1 manual, back when Blizzard manuals were awesome ass lore dumps. It explains why your character jams the soul stone in to their head.
>D1: Corruption and insanity compel the warrior to slam the soulstone into his head. There is no setup, nobody knows what soulstones are, it's an impulse reflex and a lasting regret.
How to spot underage diablo 2gay
d1 literally explained most of backstory in manual and had voiced in game "achieve" with all background lore(including creation of human world and mage wars) in title menu
Bro who the frick reads the manual? You went down a church to stop Lazarus, who you discover had Diablo possess King Leoric's son. When you fight Diablo in hell as soon as you kill him you get a cutscene with no words of holding the soulstone in your hand looking at it, then jamming it in your head.
The player didn't think about or choose anything it just happened. There was no planning to be a hero, or anything, you saw the crystal, whispers compelled you to slam it in your skull, you did. The end.
That's how you create good lore, you don't over explain shit. Sometimes things just happen due to rash impulse decisions.
>Bro who the frick reads the manual?
Dunno, I played first diablo so much back in the game, I read all that shit(don't actually remember were they voiced or just text) and actually had fun with it, diablo 2 was pretty disappointing by not having lore and just going with marvel style narration with characters acting just because, without inner logic at all behind their actions
Zoomer detected. Literally everyone read up to the last piece of paper that came with a game back then when you ADHD morons weren't around to ruin everything for the rest of us.
Maybe you nerds did lol
I stopped reading manuals when I was 8. The only reason to read them was to have something to do on the way home before you could actually play the game.
But here we are arguing about manual autism when the game's ending is clear as day to anyone. You can believe whatever headcanon you'd like.
Yes but you were 8 in 2015 when manuals were a single page cheap paper day one DLC shillings.
I laughed while reading this, thanks.
The idiot has nothing further to debate, he's lost, so he falls back on the best insults his poor brain can come up with.
Unfortunately, I'm bald now and I'd totally want to be 8 in 2015. Shit sucks when you're old.
Cope and seethe manual nerd.
>Literally everyone read up to the last piece of paper that came with a game back then
No, most people didn't.
>But then nothing really makes fricking sense does it?
it's funny that the nephalem are never mentioned in the story. it's been 50 years since d3 there should be a frickton of superpowered murderhobos running around by now.
So every other Diablo game?
>oh noes ultra satan is running loose
>literally no one can do anything about it, ever, at all
>until some murderhobo comes along who is only there to kill shit for better shoes who also is strong enough somehow to clap ultra satan's cheeks
>except oh noes ultra satan's 5d chess plan actually was just to die to some random hobo and then possess them because...because
>insert next Diabler game where all of this repeats itself
Maybe you're refering to Diablo 3, but none of that shit happens in 1 or 2.
NTA, but that is literally the plot to 1 and 2 at the very least. Half the series. Probably going to end up being the final plot to 4, too, given the ending.
Its not that they wanted to trap Lilith because she´s too powerful, its because she´s a demon. So she will just respawn after death. (which is exacly what will happen now). Mephisto was still weak because he´s probably still reforming from his killing and breaking free from Malthaels soulstone at the end of reaper of souls
Demon inmortality doesnt make any sense in shitablo after diablo 2 ending if you soul trap it and destroy the gem they r dead its over not evem god lf war gonna resurrect odin after doing the same shit
retconning shit is a blizzard special
it's always been the rule of cool at blizz, whatever goes, from ressurecting illidan to changing 20 year old lore from tft.
Mephisto’s weak bc he is reforming after being liberated from the mega soulstone on d3:ros (see malth consuming the ss and then dying)
Trying to kill Lilith was a gamble but yeah it was weirdly implemented.
For me the final part and cinematic was kinda kino, the letter, lorath, the implications that prava is chasing the soulstone, and the new wanderer/d2 likeness was cool imo, lazy maybe but cool.
>implications that prava is chasing the soulstone
I thought she got gang raped to death in hell.
The player and Lorath overcome hatred and let her escapento safety, in the epilogue her minions shows looking for asian chick (they drop a letter from Prava seeking the chick and the ss asap bc blasfemy)
>pre-D4
Inarius and Lilith created Sanctuary, a pocket dimension between heaven and hell where the nephalem, humanity’s super-saiyan ancestors, inhabited. Nephalem were the offspring of renegade angels and demons and were growing in power exponentially, causing fear in said angels and demons. Inarius wanted to be cautious and wait, but the other renegades were generally in agreement that the nephalem should be killed off. Lilith in a protective rage killed all those who wanted the nephalem dead (whether out of motherly protection gone violent or to protect her own private militia that could end or stand against the eternal war.). Inarius puts Lilith in the void for 3000 years, tries to get back into heaven but he’s not allowed, starts a cult with the sole purpose of getting him into heaven eventually, and neuters the nephalem so that they become humans over time, with much less power. One of Lilith’s and Inarius’s children, Rathma (the first necromancer) creates a prophecy that Inarius becomes obsessed with, believing that killing Lilith would get him into heaven.
>D4
A former Horadrim (humanity’s secret agents) named Elias comes to the realization that Inarius and Lilith is the only being that wanted an escape from the Eternal War, but Inarius has turned his back on humanity, leaving only the Daughter of Hatred as the sole being who wanted to protect sanctuary. He releases her from the void and she begins a plot to overthrow her father Mephisto, one of the Prime Evils and antagonist of D2. The player, (You), are simply a wanderer who is on the brink of death but is saved by none other than Mephisto, for reasons explained later. This begins a whole convoluted path where, after eating some of Lilith’s blood, we are determined to stop Lilith (on the advice of another Horadrim, Elias’s former teacher). We meet up with a fat black Druid (son dies to Astaroth in A2), an Asian teen (mom dies in A1), and a witch doctor (A4).
>D4 (Cont)
We eventually find a mcguffin artifact that lets us find and eventually kill Elias. We follow Lilith into hell (she found a key to hell on the corpse of her son Rathma, who was killed by Inarius out of anger, and was granted further access from Astaroth), watch retrospectively as she kills Inarius (after being attacked first, she never went after Inarius in the entire game and only acted in self defense after being impaled by the angel), and then use the mcguffin to find Lilith in Hell. We see her make her way to Mephisto’s castle, but she uses her mind powers (?) to trap us in our own mind after she caught us spying on her through the mcguffin. It is then revealed that she plans to simply usurp Mephisto’s power and let humanity govern themselves, that she harbors no ill will against the player character, and that she plans to take a passive position in keeping Sanctuary out of the Eternal Conflict. The player, egged on throughout the story by the horadrim and Mephisto, refuses her offer and vows to stop her. She then traps us in our mind, we get help from Mephisto and the Asian teen to escape, and we beat her to the castle thanks to a portal. Then, instead of trapping Lilith in the mcguffin soulstone (plan since Act 4), the Asian teen at the last minute decides to trap Mephisto instead. She leaves with Mephisto, we stay behind and kill Lilith (she can’t die she’ll just regenerate in a couple hours just like Astaroth (died in act 2, seen again in act 6)), and it turns out Asian teen decided to go somewhere (?) with Mephisto and warns us of more trouble to come (future expansion). Black Druid died in hell, church now hates us, hell hates us still, and essentially we are back to the very beginning (except now Inarius is dead (but also not really because angels and demons can’t permanently die)).
>future D4
Asian chick fricks up, Mephisto is now big bad and it turned out he played 5D chess all along.
Elias planned to use Lilith to become a gigachad himself. He wanted to kill her eventually. And the bit about angels, angels do actually die. Only demons keep respawning. When an angel dies a new one is created, it's not the same angel.
>Elias planned to use Lilith to become a gigachad himself
where was this mentioned? all the logs and convos ingame flat out stated that he legitimately believes in preparing for the war against hell with lilith.
I don't remember where exactly, might've been his room. First he planned to summon Andariel to absorb her and become strong enough to absorb Lilith. He thought both angels and demons are c**ts that need to die and the nephelim don't carry convictions necessary to free humans from slavery.
>When an angel dies a new one is created, it's not the same angel.
Top angels reform, same as prime evils
Fricking tyrael reformed after being killed by stone explosion, took 20 years though
Why is the game named Diablo if the character is not even mentioned the whole game?
He is mentioned.
>speak his true name.. al diabolos
Fricking hell.
Old Al is mentioned multiple times. Just doesn't make an actual appearance.
>fat black Druid
Donan is a former Horadrim, not a druid. They make a point of saying this several times.
fricking hell it was all great up until the asian self insert chick comes in you cant make this shit up
>But when you get to Mephisto's temple you let the asian self-insert chick convince you that it would be better to imprison Mephisto instead. Then Lilith shows up and you outright kill her, because aparently the player character is stronger than an angel, and killing her was an option all along.
Anon your party was debating on trapping Mephisto over Lillith for quite a while.
It really wasnt out of nowhere.
Hell the prophecy is literally about you freeing mephisto amusingly enough
>Then came a spear of light, piercing Hatred's Heart,
>And he who was bound in chains was set free.
i have a question since i don't play diablo, since Lilith made sanctuary to separate mankind from the war between heaven and hell isnt she a anti hero and the angel dude the evil one?
Because Lilith spends the entire fricking game torturing humans and being a giant homicidal c**t.
Shes no better than the rest of the demons and angels
so sanctuary is a place for her to frick with humans like pets?
didnt he frick Lilith?
Yes he did frick Lilith. In D3 there are journal entries from Lilith that basically state she did seduce Inarius to trick him and create her own world. Even giving him children was part of her plan to show that they could win the eternal conflict.
damn that pussy must of been good
>Because Lilith spends the entire fricking game torturing humans and being a giant homicidal c**t.
like elias said who are humans to judge the morality of a higher being nothing is black and white. heaven outright planned to genocide mankind and the hells weren't any better. with lilith you'd get some deaths but mankind would have eventually survived as a 3rd power.
Arguably the angel dude was imprisoned in hell and is seething because of it. He is a moron but for a reason.
>But when you get to Mephisto's temple you let the asian self-insert chick convince you that it would be better to imprison Mephisto instead. Then Lilith shows up and you outright kill her, because aparently the player character is stronger than an angel, and killing her was an option all along.
This bugged me so fricking much. When I fought Lilith, I couldn't believe it was really the final boss of the story. It was such a huge joke, and the lead up to the fight was an even bigger joke.
it's really weird how you bugged so much by player character killing low tier demon, but okay with player character killing diablo (strongest demon fighter) in hell in diablo 2
So where's Diablo?
Either some random shitheap in hell or reforming. Mathael the Incel got slapped so now they're all free.
Diablo doesn't show up
i need to stop playing blizzard games
they all want me to sleep
It's a modern blizzard game
So I guess Lilith was set-up to be a villain, but actually she is nice and tricked by an other villain (mephisto or diablo) and in the expansion she'll scream "enough!" before saving us and the universe because she's a strong woman who needs no man
One million percent, this is going to be the case for the expansion.
So fricking predictable
>game is called Diablo
>Diablo doesn't get mentioned
>you don't fight Diablo at all
>the story is centered around a D2 midboss that people farm quickly
>also no Tyrael
>also the guy who gets wanked the most in Diablo lore gets killed fast and didn't even bother fighting
>game is called metal gear solid
>metal gear never appears
>game is called assassin's creed
>assassin's creed is not in the game
>studio is called blizzard
>makes games about burning hells
>>game is called metal gear solid

>>game is called assassin's creed
's creed is not in the game
both of these are untrue thougheverbeit
MGSV has no Metal Gear. AC4: Black Flag has no creed.
youre forgetting that we learn the very important lore detail that Diablos real name is Al
I want to frick every single shortstack redhead on Earth.
>playing Diablo for the story
The cutscenes always had good direction and 4 is even better but goddamn the story is one giant wienertease that goes nowhere
It's all it still has over the competition.
ywnbaw
>AAAAAAAAAHHHH HELP ME IMPERIUS!!!
Tyrone sold him out
>we trained him wrong as a joke
so how was this moron able to just give out "miracles" like candy to an entire religion/cult?
Same way lesser evils could
Even basic 3 tried to focus on basic gameplay and cut everything they considered unneccery
Diablo 4 has too many pointless mechanics that serve no purpose except for bloat, just to pander diablo2 gays. For example lilith statues alone is pure cancer because they are necessary for paragon points
Scaling wasn't designed well too
>Obsessed self righteous Black person dies
>Ganker is baffled
The funny part is he might have been let back into Heaven, but, if you noticed, he didn't actually kill Lilith. He started screeching like an autist before the chips were even down.
It's basically like DmC and Darksiders. There's Nepehlim, Lilith made them. With an archangel dude. But she got locked. b***h went crazy. Now you, a Nepehlim gotta kill this stupid b***h and fulfill the prophecy.
It's worse. You are not even genetically enhanced magical superhuman nephilim. You are just some random dude who was given the blood of Lilith like everyone else but you are actually special for no reason.
>special for no reason
Black person you get blessed by Mephisto literally at the start of the game.
You are super charged on Mephistos powers
The entire games plot was Mephisto tricking you into freeing him, they flat out spell this out for you before you go to hell with all of his cultists running around pretending to be Lilliths followers
So you are telling me a dude who is weak and regenerating in hell can bless a regular human to be more powerful than a literal lesser evil, one of the primordial children?
Diablo 2 MC with no blessings killed 3 primes anon.
Why does this shock you
What's the point of the blessing then?
supposedly so your char can give the excuse of giving neyrelle the soulstone since mephisto might be "influencing" you.
activision-blizzard is the end boss, blizzdrones are the hordes, big homosexuals are the mii bosses
They should have never killed Leah
The new Chink is a Mary Sue
they shouldn't kill anyone because they can't make new likeable characters
Leah was a cutie at least
I fricking hated that b***h. it's pretty obvious what they're planning to do with her.
Speaking of, I wonder what the lead writer is. Gonna laugh if she's not white.
Too many cooks in the kitchen. If a project has more than 2 writers, rarely 3, it always suffers.
I'm not a big lore guy so someone can explain why Mephisto is a wolf all of a sudden? I killed him in D2 and smashed his soulstone.
All demons just respawn when you kill them.
Thats the whole point of soulstones is to keep them from respawning
wait for the retcon like blizzard and their shitty retcons in wow making old gods allowed to die or demons
Ok why did we destroy the soulstone in D2 then? Why don't we bury the soulstone or something?
>Why don't we bury the soulstone
Thats literally what they did to Mephistos soulstone and he just corrupted everything into worshipping and freeing him in diablo 2
Why not just throw it in the ocean then?
You really wanna deal with a devil whale?
Just call Elonus Muskus and use his horadrim magic to send it to space. Not my problem anymore. The buttmad demon in the stone can rage for all eternity and he won't hit anything. Corrupt vacuum lmao dumb b***h fukken pwnt.
>now you get lovecraft stuff
great idea
Don't think space works like that in diabloverse. Tyreal got kicked out of heaven and literally fell down to earth like an asteroid.
are we gonna get 36 Mephistos just like Kars
The soulstone is like the ring of power, it will find someone to corrupt eventually.
See Diablo's soulstone buried beneath Tristram.
Diablo gave the future generation Horadrim nightmares until they all fricked off and humans inhabited the town and were constantly given nightmares.
Mephisto slowly corrupted the Zakarum priests and had all of them seething in hate against one another.
Baal was keked until Diablo found his tomb.
How far away from D3 is this set in? What happened to the people from D3? Do they show up like some of those from D2 did?
Baal was corrupting everything in the desert though.
Tyrael is gone. he's nowhere to be found. the only returning character is a masked dude from D3 who's irrelevant if I'm being honest
>Tyrael is gone
Good
Meshif.
In Backwater, on the lower right of the map, there’s someone good from D3 if you do the quests.
I think they made him gay, as you’d expect, but that’s okay because all rogues are kind of gay by default.
Lyndon isn't gay, he was secretly cucking his brother for years in D3, to the point where his niece and nephew were probably his kids
50 years
>50 years is enough time for people to forget about Diablo aka Hitler
doesn't seem right
50 years. some characters return from d2 and d3. Meshif gets shanked off screen. Lorath is back. Johanna the crusader from d3 jobs to random bandits,gets stripped of her armor and her corpse is unceremoniously dumped in a swamp and you have to get her armor back for her apprentice.
damn they really didn't like D3 huh
>randomly dies to bandits
probably the level scaling
>Even got raped before dying
Damn
More like the HotS nerfs carried over to Diablo
because the soulstones can be corrupted, nobody knew but for some reason Izual did, and he told the prime evils which led to them wanting to get kicked out of hell to frick shit up on sanctuary, and get themselves in some soulstones
Most people forgot this, and no characters in the game know it either. The prime evils wanted to be tied to the soulstone in order to link with the worldstone, and D4's story is just making the exact same mistake again because Tyrael is conveniently missing so he can't tell people to stop doing it.
It's not really a terrible story idea, but it seems jarringly unfinished and basically everything in the game is wasted potential. What actually gets accomplished in the game by anyone is barely enough to fill what would have been just a opening cut-scene setting up the story for a real game.
He didn’t die, demons can’t die, soulstones only contain them. When you crushed stone in 2 (and stone in 3) he simply went back to hell to regenerate (floating placenta in his castle you stone in 4). Wolf is just his familiar (fursona).
He's a furry.
any lore past Diablo 1 is fake and gay
A group of Scooby Doo rogues band together to kill Lilith because she is le bad. Lilith kills her sex daddy, then tries to kill her literal daddy but we put her daddy in a pokeball and kill her because we are just that good. Jk you cannot kill the evils she will return. Mutt chink steals the daddy pokeball for herself wait for expansion that will change nothing guys. Something something ayahuasca ritual helps one guys from the Scooby Doo gang find forgiveness for killing his own son before he dies to a garniture.
>Game called Diablo
>No Diablo
>Diablo isn't even the big bad in the lore he's the little brother
I see what they're doing, the main story was just some Lilith fan fiction
Meph will be the big bad for first expansion and release Baal. We'll beat them both and have their soulstones *again*.
Second expansion DIABLO RETURNS and our buddy will give him his brother's soulstones, then we'll get to fight all three at once in a mega showdown. Only this time Diablo is the rockstar. The angels will try to steal our kill because they're petty like that, but in doing so they'll give Diablo the opportunity he's been waiting for, and he'll jam all three soulstones into our player character. Instead of the game ending, we get a new upgrade tree with 3 routes, Red for Diablo's soulstone, Blue for Meph's and Yellow for Baal's.
As we continue to play the game we'll hear their whispers and suggestions time to time. Sometimes bounty quests will be replaced with evil tasks like murdering a caravan or attacking a good stronghold causing it to fall to demons. The angels are aware of our possession and regularly send angelic assassins to take us out, this leads to the player character fighting both demons and angels in expansion #3.
>boss spawns 50 adds
>can't kill shit because my minions do shit damange and have shit hp
It doesn't matter what the story is. The game sucks and it's trash and I hate it. I detest it
who the frick was mesphisft? why he sounds familiar?
Diablo's master and act 3 boss in diablo 2
Inarius was so fricking cool in the introduction
what went wrong?
Unironically he is a white man and has to bow to a strong woman in nublizz' cuckossel
He's voiced by a black though
The only angel we ever see is a Black person. Why would you assume Inarius is not a Black person? He behaves like one.
>The only angel we ever see is a Black person.
Black people are cool, and the Paladin was cool. Tyrael was cool.
Wrong. Paladins were semitic in D2. D3's wasn't.
Paladin looks black in D2. To say he's semitic is just wrong.
Anyway, I'm loading it up again. I'm gonna try to have fun with it. I'm gonna make a Barbarian and go for levels and shit. I'll probably quit again after 30 minutes or so or a couple dungeons because it's just boring and stupid and pointless
There was someone saying they ripped the faces from real people and that the pally was young Keith David.
>Paladin looks black in D2
We're talking about the real D2 not that "remastered" abomination. Nobody who has actually seen a black person (i.e. south saharan phenotype) would think the D2 paladin is black. Unless, you know, you're moronded.
Yeah, I guess you're sort of right. His voice actor was black though, so the impression given was different
Yeah, he looks sort of Caucasian but with dark skin. Like Egyptian or some such
He looks like a shitty 90s 3d render of a black man.
Paladin sprite is whatever your mind wants it to be baby
I always liked the idea of a black paladin, though. It's like a black astronaut. It's just such a bizarre contrast.
How come black people are sprinkled into the game's arab/south american areas but never white people?
D4 is pretty good about isolating by region. The starting area is all white people with slavic accents.
Main church girl is black
You mean Prava? That's not the starting area. I'm talking about murdertown near the cave Mephisto protects you at.
she's obviously not from shattered peaks dumbo
The niggress is not from Kyovashad. She was dying and Incelrius uplifted her to be his blind fanatic slave.
Its been 50 years since D3 moronic angels genocided half of humans and they are sort of getting their bearings back.
The prime evils are set to respawn eventually so a mage dude wanting to save humanity breaks Lillith the demon mother of humanity out of jail.
Her plan is to eat her father Mephisto to get super powerful and then murder the other primes and angels.
(You) are a wanderer who gets randomly saved by a wolf (Mephisto) whose heavily implied to bless you into making you super powerful thus explaining your bullshit over the course of the game. You see flashes of the shit Lilith does because you are forced into eating her blood by her cultists or because Mephistos bullshit
First 3 acts are you gathering allies and following Lillith.
Party decides to soulstone Lilith to keep her from fricking everything up, she breaks into hell to go eat her dad. Her ex-bf angel chases after her trying to kill her for redemption, failing and dying.
The moron of your party argues you should stone Mephisto and run rather than Lilith because it would solve the same issue of her eating him and would keep Mephisto from reviving and fricking up the humans.
Because (you) are heavily influenced and under Mephistos thrall you let her make the decision on who to stone and she decides on Mephisto.
She flees from hell with the stone, you stay behind to fight and temporary kill Lilith,
When you get out of hell rather than wait for the party the moron has ran off into the hills alone with Mephistos herald for reasons unknown.
Also the dead angels followers (probably led by a demon because his Black person pope 100% died in a cutscene and is perfectly fine now) have branded you as a heretic and want to murder you.
>When you get out of hell rather than wait for the party the moron has ran off into the hills alone with Mephistos herald for reasons unknow
You reminded me, if you actually pay attention then her route was something like that in final cinematic
Which bothers shit out of my autism
It could be shes just wandering around not wanting to take root anywhere to minimize the stones corruption.
But it will probably be something moronic instead
No, narration wise it's obvious that after leaving letter in achieves(I also forgot to mark her road from Caldeum to the meeting point) she wanted to frick of over sea, but her route to the port doesn't make any sense
Yeah why didn't she just teleport like a normal person? Mephisto's soulstone gets to the hands of a teenage girl on a roadtrip of self discovery. Could be worse.
2 expansions huh blizzard?
Can't even trust them to finish them after Overwatch 2's cancelled campaign
diablo 3 also had 2 planned expansions
any future content is contingent on d4 making money
The game is over once the campaign is completed. There is zero reason to get a character to level 70 let alone 100
Awful, awful game
I fricked up making my first character barbarian, that shit is boring. Having a way better time as a rogue now.
So the game is just ackshually unironically
>Demon momma is ... LE GOOD
>church is .... LE BAD
>cis white male angel .... LE WEAK b***hboy
>Father figure is ... LE MEGA EVIL
?
Yes
no? are you dumb? lilith is the antagonist, evil, and we kill her
No.
Lilith scape because some survivor traitor horadrim besides cairn being the sole survivor and its searching her daddy powers meanwhile it kills some ex horadrim along the way , inarius dies by hardcore pegging, mephisto its the woñf that guides and tricks you into free it for expansion bait
Bunch of morons start simping for Lilith. They summon that b***h and she uses her femoid charms on them. Your character is also moronic but gets manipulated by mephisto instead. You put that mofo in a soulstone to hide him from Lilith. You kill Lilith but then one if your dumbass party members """must do something"""" about mephisto and she runs away with the soul stone, so basically mephisto is going to the BBEG in the next expansion.
We need demon mommy to come back.
>Bunch of morons start simping for Lilith. They summon that b***h and she uses her femoid charms on them.
Elias literally summoned Lilith to absorb her powers and kill her. He is merely pretending to be a simp.
i'm really tempted to buy this slop.
YMMV, but I've gotten well over $100 in gameplay out of it.
I'm telling you you'll be disappointed once you've beat the campaign
The opposite. The campaign is absolute shit and the game gets much better afterwards when you are doing WT3 and WT4 nightmare dungeons.
>game gets much better afterwards when you are doing WT3 and WT4 nightmare dungeons.
you pip
It's true. The story is poorly written and the gameplay is tuned to be way too easy to have fun.
>the gameplay is tuned to be way too easy to have fun.
>twitterfrog
>discordtext
the gameplay is tuned to be too easy so that any 50 year old boomer can kill lilith in his 1 hour allotted weekly gaming time
You mean the game is tuned so you can't have any fun builds because of PVP so PVE suffers a ton
I played 2 betas and the campaign and exploration seemed fun, i liked those events where you liberate towns. On the bad side enemy variety seems shit, i've seen people at level 80 fighting the same spiders and ghosts you fight in the beginning, and all those words on items when you just equip it if you see big green numbers.
I would buy it with no doubts if it was 40/50 bucks.
you should wait; the price will drop fast because they want to sell mtx and the game is basically at its worse right now.
2 more weeks.
yeah i could definitely see a 10% price cut for season 1
Because you're batshit insane. It's selling like your mom's pussy at a truck stop.
diablo 4 is actively loosing money by not having players in their game buying mtx, a 10% price cut means more mtx sales.
there's a reason most mtx based games are f2p, and that's because mtx sell like fricking hot cakes.
I bought MTX. I'm part of the solution.
Play path of exile instead its way better and free
The campaign is the most polished of every Diablo game and is enjoyable enough. The actual endgame is complete dogshit and anyone who defends it doesnt know what theyre talking about. The game only gets worse 75+ due to how player power works and how shitty scaling is implemented. I dont think ive ever felt weaker with nearly full bis gear at level 78.
What class are you playing?
>never bought d3
>never bought d4
feels good. join me anon
Crusader/Pally doko?
I am not playing until either is in.
Same here, but I may not even buy the expansion for them. The base game is bad and everyone else is delusional
>The guys in the white coats are the crazy ones! I have to eat my own shit to fight off the Romulans!
It's bad. What's the point? What's the point of getting to level 100? What changes? Is there a leaderboard? Are the items good and worth the time? Is there a trading scene? If the answers are no, then frick off I'm right, you're wrong
why does D4 Mephisto look like keto-diet Diablo? in D2 he looks like the in-game sculptures of Baal in D4. Which intern fricked this up?
?
both my screen and yours are from D2
pic rel is Mephisto from D4
feminist power trip
there
*steals your soulstone*
Then why do you even care?
Watch the cutscenes, then.
Do you at least get ptsd from being fricked with by Mephisto?
mephisto is basically your buddy. you end up doing everything he wants.
how long until unironic demon friends / frick heaven in particular / I AM DIABLO ?
why are skeletons with crossbows erecting barricades on the roads
to rob you of calcium
It's not a barricade, it's a bone prison. Presumably to make more skeleton friends.
death and taxes
they have a bone to pick with you
I'm going to get my scare done! I'll be fright back!
Yep, I think it's come to the point where I'm officially too old to enjoy modern slop. Diablo 2 was better and I grew up on Runescape. I love these games. This new shit is garbage. It's dumbed down boring slop. Frick it. It actually pisses me off that some of you defend this slop that was released at a $70+ price tag. Some of you are so delusional that you call this shit good so the real people get fricking blown out of their minds and go crazy with anger
>likes runescape
>only mentions the inferior $70 version of D4
>slop
Thirdie detected.
Nope. American israelite. I bougtht the $100 version but why did I do that?
I'm embarrassed for myself! XD it suckssss
Why did the protag and Lorath let the chink kid do whatever she wants with the soulstone? Why would her opinion even matter? Frick you Blizzard.
Because you never played game?
lorath wasn't around, and you literally was mindraped by Mephisto through entire game, so needing opinion of someone else was important.
Game, and especially writing has many problems, but it's literally one of few times in all 4 diablo games someone actually acted logically.
The second b***h broke the deal and decided to frick off with stone, you both were ready to pursue her, but church guy who saved you in prologue arrived and lorath ordered you to kill him giving her time to escape from continent
The entire point of mary she asian girl putting Mephisto in the soulstone and not Lilith is Mephisto was the overall bigger threat and the player couldnt trust himself to make the decision so they let the little asian girl who had knowledge of Mephistos trickery decide on who to seal.
Fighting Lilith was also very much a choice of suicide but she was gravely injured in the fight against Inarius. The player had notable victories in the story against high tier demons so you can kind of chalk their victory against Lilith as luck thanks to the cuck Inarius.
Anyone else feel like 3 was more satisfying to play? The ragdoll physics, enemy variety, destructible environments, and gore is way better.
Lilith is the wife of Inarius' sons and heaven abaddoned sanctuary and then our dads wifes sons kill dads wife and Mephisto is coming back to tristram to find diablo essence to be reborn as the prime aspect of hate instead of terror
You are chasing a demon called Lilith. She is haunting you, making very suggestive gestures during these 'hallucinations'. Eventually, you end up chained to a chair, and you end up in some kind of psychic fight with another guy, while being heavily "implied" that Lilith is raping the shit out of you. The ending scene suggests that she will soon be birthing the anti-christ, and her maternal pains are causing nuclear bomb tier destruction to the land.
Or I could be thinking of the plot for Fear 2, better play the game again to check for yourself
you become lilith's slave, she leashes & collar you and drags you around. endgame is eating her pussy and giving her rimjobs till she cums.
Why did Lilith need to be summoned and what did she need from Sanctuary to do anything?
She was locked up in gay baby jail for eternity
She needed the ability to get into hell, did you skip the entire story?
>theres some place i need to get back to , where i'm not allowed
thats all i remember and nta
Why was Lilith the bad guy again?
She was also going to mass genocide 99% of humans until only the super strong nephilim blooded ones remained
Says who?
Her to Elias when the two of them are talking about the weak humans deserve to die?
It's Blizzard, they arent known for making good stories. Just "play" the game like the good paypig you are.
i want lilth to peg me
Me too except Neyrelle.
I want to play through the game once more with a different character on hardcore before I drop the game until they fix everything
I already played druid softcore, what should I pick?
spin boy
Only played act 1 in the beta, is there anything as good as Vigo's plot?
Is't D4 a prequel?
no
Does nobody in this universe remember the events of Diablo 2? I don't know why they make such a big deal out of the prime evils when a handful of adventurers already beat them a few years ago.
It never made sense in the first place. Diablo 2 is a troony story and the gameplay is equally garbage let me teleport through the entire map so I can gib this glorified mob in seconds hundreds of times to get loot that allows me to gib the boss in one second less. The game is held up by art direction, namely visuals and music.
Do we agree?
17 damag xD
