The way the lore of Diablo is written now... this entry will be the final one in the chronological order. And an eventual write-off of the franchise as a whole. The world of Sanctuary has literally been made into a dying/dead world with no hope of saving it. The universe of Diablo will eventually... disappear. And in its wake, an unknowable corruption that inevitably seeps into all reality.
This article isn't an explanation, just a summation
Here's the explanation:Akarat-phisto is going to be the big bad in the next expansion. It'll likely have dark paladins, maybe even a a playable class since they all revere akarat or it might just create a lore reason to reinstate paladins in the game as they work to undue the damage of Akarat-phisto.
Felt to me like the expansion just stopped rather than had a true ending. The storyline was disappointing. The new game modes are fun though.
Vessel of hatred was the worst expansion for lore in the history of Diablo. I still can’t believe they used the “power of friendship” to solve some problems. Felt like a giant filler episode and I can’t recommend it to anyone. First time I’ve actively avoided Diablo since D2, that expac has made me not want to play, regardless of how fun the gameplay is. The cliffhanger at the end was the only interesting part and of course it had to be the end of the story, which means you’ve got to shill another $100 to see the fight against Mephisto. And there’s not even another uber-Lilith type fight, just so so so bad this time around. The base game had a more interesting story.
The campaign of the expansion was the worst story I've ever seen, not a single good cinematic and no new boss fights and it did absolutely nothing to move diablo forward or add anything to the diablo lore. I really like the new class, the new zone and the new game modes so overall the expansion was pretty good but the story was a massive disappointment to me and not worth the price.
Was that a cruxification reference? Pog
The Anti-Christ has risen!
People still play this game? It's boring af, story was written by a bunch of 3rd graders. Wish I could get a refund....
