Is the story that bad?

This is not a problem, Spiriborn is the protagonist wanderer just like a rogue, necromancer or a barbarian can be. Is not impossible for a spiriborn to leave Nahantu.

This is not a crutch. Diablo 3 story is not a 10/10 but it is a 8/10. D4 is like 4/10

I’m still not convinced we’re dealing with Mephisto at all.

I felt the story itself was fine. I would have done some things differently; though there were several things I did like a lot… I liked the way the characters were represented with the game engine; but sometimes the cinematic were a bit too many and a few a bit too long. But that’s different then the story itself.

Base-game story had some good moments but were overall bad, so not surprising if vessel is too.

Same opinion.
If savage druids were better utilized and the outcome of Lilith and Inarius was good, story would be so good.

Just imagine a fight with Mephisto were Inarius is trying to get revenge stopping him while you do your thing.

Similar to Tyrael fightning Wanderer while Baal is being freed.

What we got?
poor fight choreography between inarius and lilith, 2 swings, both characters deleted.

Yes, it is terrible. D4 has the worst story of all the Diablos and one of the worst of all the RPGs I’ve ever played.

Funny enough, i found the Druid part of act 2 to be the most solid one, followed by the church half Kyovashad, then the chase for Elias was eh and Nyrelle being the worst.

Aaaand then we had the mess of the later acts which were idiocy upon idiocy, like they could at least have made Donan sacrifice himself to protect us against that giant hell beast rather than getting shanked by a pillar 5 seconds later. Tho, the cutscene of templars vs hell was awesome.

But yeah disappointing how easily Inarius went down.

For me Elias was one of the few W in D4 base game story. Solid development with a solid outcome.

The way she just is ahead of all horadrim and nephalem, she is so good that they are bad and clumsy… i just can’t handle, its so bad

I absolutely love it. I thought it was very engaging and one of their better efforts.

This game has a story?

I hope you are right and that i can say the same after finish campaign, because the base game was bad (storywise) for me

ā€˜Skip conversation parsing’ lmao

I thought this one was much better. Most of the forums seem to hate it but that’s to be expected. This place is a haven for complainers.

Hope you enjoy it too.

If you love Season 8 of Game of Thrones, you will LOVE this expansion

It’s not bad. It’s mediocre.

It’s insanely short with nothing really surprising. I would go as far to say that nothing really major happens, and the most interesting character doesn’t get enough time or development, then gets axed.

The story is great. The hero becomes an emo babysitter. All that mimimi. Uh that bad blue glowing stone. Why the heck is she carrying it to some random place in the first place? And THEN she explains, she needs to find an ancient library to find out what to do?

Who wrote this story? Sweet Baby Inc?

Just a few word out of my head about the exp : short , underwhelming , d3 story writers were hired again.

At least in D3 there were major events like Heaven invaded, Malthael wiping out most of the planet rather than a handful of hours that is just set up for another expansion. Seriously, nothing really happened in VoH lol

Sure, D3 story guys killed Deckard and made Diablo a girl. But they did not introduce that whiny emo stuff to the game.
