Mephisto Expansion without Mephisto

We didnt fight with Diablo in D4 which name comes from DIABLO, and now in the Mephisto expansion, we dont even fight Mephisto :slight_smile:

I think someone is trolling us.

They’ve been trolling us ever since they rolled out those trap shrine/fountain/well that you try to touch it and it’s a TRAP! that’s their design philosophy. Troll first, fun last.

I think we will encounter Mephisto in S8, S9 or later of this expansion. Because right now Mephisto still hasn’t found a truly strong body to enter. When you watch the ending video you will see that…

do you think? i mean, which vessel could be better than the one he chose?

After finishing the story, I understood why the expansion is called “Vessel of Hatred”. It’s all about Neyrelle—she is the “vessel” to deliver the soulstone to the rightful location. It’s literally in the name.

id rather say she is the delivery girl of hatred. :smiley:

im pretty unsure lore wise how this story is going to lead to. mephisto with akarat as his vessel? walking among men in human disguise? (i think blizzard is a little brave there when it comes to diablo story telling you know, i think i like it tho, time to get out of that “every act an evil is going to be killed”, i assume we are heading towards a new sin war personally)

i mean we dont know what the high heavens are plotting so far. i dont like the cliffhanger but if it leads to a good story im up for it :smiley:

Yep! The open ending will keep us excited for the next parts. Really love the Diablo storyline!
IMO, Akarat is not the final body worthy of Mephisto’s stay, but Zoltun Kulle body, a talented figure in the Horadric council who trapped all 7 Evil Lord Souls in a blackstone.

you think? i mean akarat is basically diablo lore jesus. but yea, you might not be wrong, zoltun kulle might have to play a role sooner or later again. i mean, its diablo, a death means not too much. that being said, i hope they dont bring deckard cain back in a weird way. i couldnt stand that :smiley:

Everything they do is corporate now. They want you to pay for Mephisto so they’re tucking that away until later with some DLC or something… They don’t give a F about the lore. However far they can stretch our wallets is their goal. F BLIZZ. Get nerds working for you again and not corporate suits in it for the $$. Funny thing is they’d make more $$ if they provided better content.

So, we going to go through like 10 people. Look how long it took for neyrelle story stuff. Jfc. Mephisto in 2056.

Not having Mephisto, or another prime evil as the final boss was certainly a let down.

I was looking forward to fighting him and to see how Blizzard had designed him but at the same time it builds him up as a large threat. A Prime evil maybe shouldn’t get taken out within 1 expansion.

here, have some more Neyrelle doing more girl boss things.

do girll bosses frighten you?

i mean i feel that yea. but after 3 diablo expansions story telling should tune up. i assume we are going to see all prime evils at once, the diablo lore needs a better scheme than this whole repitition of the old story.

Yes, Mephisto is evil. Yes he’s clearly lying.

Still, let us join him cause he’s clearly the only character that isn’t a complete and utter idiot in this story.

they bore me and apparently many other here too. why else would there be so many complaints about the story here and on reddit?

oh well, you’re a fanboy and will just ignore it.

no im with you. personally i prefer men myself. no issues with that here.

ah nevermind, you are trying to troll so i just ignore it.
