I have not seen any single reasonable reaction or dialogue option that takes my character’s class, a necromancer, to account.
The entire game always acts like I’m clueless to or disgusted by rituals. Naive to magics. Rathma, virtually the first necromancer dies, and there is zero reaction from my character.
The single class line I may have perceived was Rathma’s city eliciting “this feels like home.” That’s about it. Thereafter, it’s just The Wanderer with zero input from my class to how I interact with the story or lore of the world.
It makes no sense for a barb, druid or sorc, to run into the church at gamestart.
If you get a trouble with higher demons, than all three would run as fast as possible to there melting points of culture…
Druids to the high council, barb to there ancestors, Sorc to the mage Bibliothek.
Only as rouge, the story gives sense, because he is the “normal” in the five classes, who has no strong own culture, and would go to the church, because he needs guiding through the trouble.
Necro is only super cringe, because the church he goes, actuall hunt and burn necros, which you can see in act 1 directly the village southern of main hub, were the local priest has his pile of flameable wood ready.
There is no unique story, no nuances to draw on Diablo’s previously deep lore, just a straight shot that ignores everything a Class represents. Druids at least have their own city and a bunch of related side-quests that are cool to read about. Otherwise, the game’s story is as bare-bones as they could possibly get away with.
Well the reality is the story is clearly expected to be one and done, hence the skip campaign feature once you beat it. I loved the story but seeing it again and again isn’t something I plan to do. It’d be nice if they had unique reactions I agree. But the story is already the most compelling and well presented of all diablo games. So I’ll take that.
I don’t mean an entire campaign has to be about your class. But the least the writers of a $80 base price AAA game can do is have writing that respects your character’s background in an RPG.
Otherwise, why call it an RPG? They even put lore tidbits on the cash shop items for presentation.
Could none of that effort go to the player character?
The RPG aspect of it is just the story of Diablo’s general lore. I agree, I totally think the class (and gender even) of your character should come into play when doing things like finding a place to get quests, communicating with NPCs, or even the general tone of the NPCs around you.
But alas, not this time. Just get the same things regardless of what you pick and who you make.
Edit: I mean, even Warriv at the start of D2 gave you some different dialog! D2 had a lot of NPCs that would alter their dialog based on class selection.
Play Druid. They have a decent amount of class related dialogue in Scosglen arc. I have not yet reached act 3 but so far the Druid immersion is very nice. Some of the NPCs in towns even called me Master Druid haha. And instead of saying “Your people are dying out there” to the druid lady boss. Our Druid actually remarks “Our people are dying out there”. He also remarks to Yorin “You know how to read druidic as much as I do” to which Yorin replies with another unique dialogue not seen by my barbarian.
I agree very much to this. The immersion is very nice. Enjoying even the sidequests. Doing the Sister Octavia sidequest never gets old on all my characters haha.
I always wanted to main druid, but Blizzard made it impossible to me by not giving body and face options.
I will not play a haggard, obese 60 year old truck driver with 4 face options that look like you’ve abused crack and alcohol for decades on top of having a hook nose and no real jawline.
If they had just copied the Barbarian body onto them I would have been happy.
They do not look so bad. But yea more option cannot hurt especially on the face department haha. I get the rugged look but the four faces on Druid is sooo bad especially without beard. They look decent with full beards though.
That’s exactly what I did. I put a full beard on his face to cover the tiny chin on his old fat round and wrinkled face. But I could not get past the back and shoulder hair on top of a waist line going 50+ looking like a barrel of fish. I look like an old fat baby on the druid preview. A dollar store rastafarian sumo wrestler. Yuck.
Necro hairstyles are wanting, but druid also has the worst hairstyle options by far.
haha I feel ya. In some armors Druid does look decent but overall yea I wish they did not go all the way to chubby druid. I like the character kits and druid story though. I am still deciding whether to stay druid or barb as my main. I switched to barb a few days ago since the more action oriented playstyle of barb is fun buuut I do miss the class fantasy of druid especially since the story in D4 seems to involve druids a lot so far.
Ah, you’re still talking. Let’s move the chaff where it belongs, on the ignore list. Maybe someone else will care to waste time on your irrelevant lectures.
Nope nada It’s World of Warcrap copy paste all the way Button Pushing/Spamming Weak,Useless,Unwanted Skills/Spells all the way to the end
