What are you guys talking about???
Seriously though. What were you guys reading???
I, that is to say, for myself, I was talking about an affix system. And the thematic of that affix system. The system proposed by the StarCraft kid, has various affixes attached to items. The three affix categories are “Ancestral”, “Demonic” and “Angelic.” My point, which I am clearly focused on since I’ve been repeating it quite frequently, is that those three affixes don’t quite fit thematically into the current (you know what the word “current” means?) Diablo universe.
And the question is; Who crafted the items, when and why?
The question is NOT: Who is using the item? D4 nephalim. D3 Nephalim. Who cares??? the question is NOT: “Who is using them?” The question is: Who crafted them, when and why?
Based on the affixes themselves, Ancestral, Demonic, Angelic, it means that these items, weapons, armors, jewelry, etc. have been imbued with the essence of these several different types of beings.
the question is: Who Crafted these items, when and why?
The Crafter … (Not the user(s)) … the CRAFTER had to be sufficiently powerful enough to obtain and use the various essences. The CRAFTER had to be powerful enough to imbue the items with the powers, essence, aspects of those various types of beings.
The question is: Who crafted the items, when and why?
Now, based on the AFFIXES themselves with the focus on our question; “Who crafted the items, when and why?” we can make various conclusions about the crafter. (NOT THE USER… the crafter.) the Crafter … or CRAFTERS (plural) had to be a Nephalim of sufficient power to obtain the various essences, powers and aspects of the various beings and imbue them into various items.
Why must it have been a Nephalim? Why must the CRAFTER have been a Nephalim? Because one of the powers is a Nephalim power; i.e. ANCESTRAL power. The crafter or crafters of these items had to have access to ANCESTRAL power and therefore he (or they) must have been NEPHALIM.
But wait! Let’s not rush! Let’s consider the thematic possibility that the crafter or crafters were either Demons or Angels. This possibility must be ruled out completely. Why? for the very same reason that the crafter … or crafters … had to be Nephalim. Because the crafter has access to ANCESTRAL power. And if the Demons or Angels had access to ANCESTRAL power and could imbue their items, weapons, armor, etc with it then they would have wiped out the humans and nephalim and restored the Eternal Conflict to the status quo.
Remember. I am talking about the Affix system proposed by the StarCraft kid! I am talking about the Affixes on items. ITEMS!
And the question is: Who crafted these items, when and why?
Having concluded that only a Nephalim could have crafted such items, the question becomes “WHY?”
At this point, all sense is completely gone. It makes no sense for a more powerful being to begin using lesser powers. It simply makes no sense at all.
Why would someone with access to electricity use a creek or windmill for energy? Why would someone with access to more sophisticated instruments use less sophisticated instruments???
However, assuming that the items, with these affixes, exist in the game world, one of the immediate consequences is that Zolton Kulle’s radical, revolutionary idea to harness the power of demons and angels using an item, isn’t radical or revolutionary at all. And, these items, with the affixes, Angelic, Demonic, Ancestral, could NOT have been created after Zolton Kulle, again, because of the designation “ANCESTRAL.”
So, thematically, its all quite a bit of gibberish. And let’s not forget or overlook the fact that “All beneficial affixes are Angelic”, “All Negative affixes are Demonic” is infantile. It doesn’t get more infantile than that.
