Topic	Still blows my mind how badly they botched Diablo 3's story spoilers
Mr_Biscuit 11/11/18 11:39:50 AM #47:	Ruvan22 posted... While the story and presentation had some flaws, a few things did catch me off guard (in a good way) - spoilers obv, but Deckard actually dying, eventual fate of Leah, eventual fate of Tyrael. I get what you are saying about the first two starting off with a hopeless tone - you are thrust into a setting already sliding downwards, but with D3 that was part of the draw for me. Things are stable.. Diablo and his brothers were defeated/dissipated... so what else could there be? In a way that set the stage for RoS (and it's grim ending) really well... Thats kind of the issue for me though. The few good story decisions they made were delivered terribly too. I think Cain dying couldve been super powerful... but to Maghda in a horrible in-game cutscene that made zero sense for any character involved? Leah gets betrayed by her mother and possessed by Diablo... in another bad in-game cutscene with a monologue from Adria laying out everything in detail in case you hadnt been paying attention? They undercut even the potentially good beats. --- https://www.bigplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_6703.jpg <cite>Mr_Biscuit posted [p:912212599] in Still blow...
