I had a low day and thought I’d do some D4 when it hit me, these are depressing stories! Everyone I look for is dead! Even some I speak to in begining end up dead by the time I get back! They’re well written, just sad. I reunited a guy and his goat. A goat passed out after eating too much salt. Salt made from AN ENTIRE VILLAGE!! Guess I should’ve watched Ted Lasso instead?
In Diablo, humans are always fodder for the Eternal Conflict. Even the main character that defeats the prime evils in one game is consumed/killed by the start of the next one. This is the way.
I suggest Skyrim if you want a good mix of stories and NPCs that actually go about a regular life in the world.
