If anything, play the first one and pay attention to the lore. The story is the absolute best out of the 4 main games. It was released in the 90s so it has almost no hardware requirements. You can even emulate it on your phone with a playstation 1 emulator.

Donan. Speaking of, am I the only one who thought his death was fairly contrived? Like "woops, accidentally backed into a death tree; how about I just bleed out here while the hero is standing right next to me hold a bunch of potions that can full heal me." Same with Neyrelle losing her hand. And as far as she's concerned how could she possibly think running off, whereabouts unknown and already weak before losing her hand to a Drowned of all things with a Prime Evil was a smart idea? Just feel like thats going need some 4D chess, galaxy-brain justification for that one

What's weird to me is that they made such a big deal when Elias was trying summon that one lesser evil that starts with an "A". Andarial? Whatever it's called. That was supposed to be such a big threat. Then all of a sudden in act 5 Durial, another lesser evil comes out of no where. You beat him, and nothing more is said about it. Just seems lazy.

I think that dilemma is one of the strongest points of the story. She is an excellent seductress and manipulator. Such a well written character. Worthy of the name Lillith, which has an association with succubi in traditional mythology if I'm not mistaken. Didn't double-check so that could be wrong.

@jackmuaddib3745 Жыл бұрын

I think I'm missing something, because to me it seems like Lilith trying to help us by giving Humanity the power to fight the forces of hell without Heaven? She created Statuary to escape the endless war between Angels and demons, then was betrayed by her Angel Husband/Baby dad( who killed their son btw) Imprisoned then freed only to be betrayed by the very humans she was trying to help?? I get that she's a demon and was making us worship sin, and that's bad (I guess), but she wanted more than anything to free us from the need of heaven to protect us from the prime Evils, and none of that mattered! We still thought of her as the enemy, the mother of all Mankind! Besides from the murderous intent that comes with following her Lilith had our best intentions in mind when she was freeing us from the trapping morality and returning us to the path of sin, and we had a obligation to follow her, I mean, she is Mother after all!!

@marta-y3h 2 ай бұрын

Nope. She and inarius are in conflict, becsuse she wanted to use her children (nephalems) for her on purpose (rule over sanct+hell) and inarius disagreed. Then the story really begun and inarius locked her, because heaven and hell didnt know about sanctuary and if she couldnt be stopped, then they will know and eternal conflict will continue event there, with humanity. She escaped. She doesnt care about humanity, nephalems, she just wants power and that is all (the sin war trilogy by Richard knaak - the best books about diablo). Then heaven and hell learn about sanct and here we are. Its all her fault

@@kpatelv607 at no point do we really side with Mephisto. He kind of simply pulls our bacon out of the fire for his own purposes and gets in our head until stabbitied in his own head with the soul stone. The church is pretty much the reigning government of the land. We side with them because we are on the side of the people - there's no mysterious "for some reason" about it. Even if they are assholes, you don't work to dismantle the military and government when there's literal demons and murderous cannibals roaming the countryside and the very wilds are going insane. And who is enabling and empowering these lurking evils? Lilith.
