Starting with D3, the hacks that write for Blizzard have concocted some story where 2 major religions are created by a Demon and Angel, respectively, the two religions are against each other. And, Lilith participates in a plot to destroy both of those religions.
Also, D3 is anything but âPolitically Correct.â the Prime Evil turns to Adria and says: âNow go, wait in the kitchen until I need you again.â
Apparently, Diablo thought he was going to have a sandwich after taking over Heaven.
Diablo 1 was arguably darker than all 3. Could you imagine right now if Blizzard released a game where you go down to the depths of hell from a cathedral to kill the devil only to find out you accidentally killed a small child instead? Followed by tomes saying âGlory and approbation to Diabloâ or âHail and Sacrifice to Diablo, lord of terror and destroyer of soulsâ with pentagrams littered everywhere?
Some snowflake is bound to get offended, and say âBlizzard approves of worshiping the devilâ when theyâre too dense to realize what game theyâre even playing.
Have to admit, Iâm now a bit confused. Are you asking for Political Correctness? and thus, denouncing the âsocialist ideology.â And Faith and Trust in Religion be restored!
Or, are you asking that Political Correctness be done away with?
Or, are you saying that Political correctness is a âsocialist ideologyâ?
From the Internet:
Definition of politically correct. : conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated.
For your title, yes; but for D3, I donât feel so. A game doesnât need to be as political incorrect as possible everywhere to be good - actully if they do so it will be bad.
Blz is quite political correct these years though, and it will have an impact on D4.
Well, like I was saying, I donât see how anyone could interpret D3 or any of the supporting literature as âPolitical Correct.â And, I canât think of any game that is striving to be âPolitically Correct.â
Diablo doesnât suffer a case of being overly politically correct.
As for the whole âReligious good vs evil confrontationâ the only thing Diablo has dared to do is pull the whole âmaybe not all angels are good and maybe not all demons are badâ thing.
Which in theory I personally find more compelling the a bog standard black and white morality.
It sounds more like you want Diablo to make a religious statement of some kind, but despite the heavy use of Christian themes thatâs never really what the series has been about.
the part âthe heavy use of Christian themesâ is true, and itâs less with each new release. i consider a good heaven and bad hell, with a God and a Devil a good start.
-i would like all big enemies of âourâ Religion revealed, including the decline of Christians to other Religions or to the âCult of Deathâ (you can choose what that cult is by yourselfâŚ)
Isnât Christianity closer to the Prime Evils in Diablo, with their desire to control humanity.
Then you have the Nephalem comrades fighting for our freedom against the nasty religious fanatics.
sure, thatâs is a defendable opinion.
surprised?
you can say this about many Religions, Ideologies and Paganism, Cults and Secret Societies like the Globalists, illuminati, Freemasonry, etcâŚ
whatâs wrong about it all is to mix it together and think the related cultures will also mix, without friction or warâŚ
It uses the themes but does its own thing with them rather than rehashing a boring âheaven good, hell badâ storyline. The writing in Diablo has never been anything spectacular, but at least theyâre trying to create characters with more depth to them than âtheyâre bad because theyâre a demon and demons are badâ.
Also we already have plenty of religions in the game:
The Paladin/Crusader are from different splits of Zakarum faith
The Necromancer is from a death cult that believes in preserving the balance of life and death
The Barbarians worship the ancestors.
A number of characters donât seem to have any strong faith one way or the other
One of the creepies games in ARPG is Diablo 1 and also one of the best games ever made!
Diablo 3 is like this in the Video
I wonder exactly what happened to Blizzard after Blizzard NorthâŚ
