Anyone else really hoping we are done with Neyrelle's story

In my opinion, she is one of the most unlikeable NPCs in the entire Diablo franchise. Part of this is on the game designers who decided to take away the player agency for the purpose of their own narrative. But, the writers deciding to have Neyrelle whine at us about putting the burden on her when we had no choice in the matter really didn’t help.

But, even ignoring that entire gameplay/narrative snafu. From the beginning she embodies that really annoying trope of a child prodigy that knows better than weathered veterans who have been learning their craft through decades of blood sweet and tears. She’s always one step away from lecturing one of the other Characters. I am grateful that Deckard Cain checked out in Diablo III so he wouldn’t have to suffer the ignominy of being dressed down by this brat.

And she objectively makes bad choices that cost people their lives. Running off by herself with the shard containing Mephisto inflicted a lot of death and destruction. In the end, it results in the her playing directly into Mephisto’s plans. Yet, the wanderer and everyone else keeps re-enforcing her, despite her bad decisions, telling her how stunning and brave she is. Its really annoying.

So, please, let us be done with her story. I really want her consigned to the roll of minor back-ground character going forward.

If they finish her story with the next expansion, and we can move on for Diablo and Baal, I’ll be okay with it, but I have a sinking feeling they’re going to keep coming back to her.

If you can’t see that she is the main character of the franchise I don’t know what to tell you. She isn’t going anywhere and her importance to the story is only going to increase over time.

Of course they are. It’s sad and she completely sucks as a character but this is the way with these creatives think these days.
Calling them creatives is an oxymoron in my book.

I named my SB Mowgli as this expansion is basically jungle book friends.
