Really wish they let players choose to back Lilith - her plan to fight prime evils was the only one that didn’t lead to a never ending wheel.

Hey you’ve got this option to end an eternal conflict of which you’re smack middle of and getting fucked by both sides; but we’ll go ahead and stick to the eternal conflict.

There could’ve been so much follow up to that choice too: fighting angels how ant to stop you from getting too powerful, fighting other primes and their armies as they fear we kill them, building protections into the world to separate it from everything, and more.

If you chose to back Lilith, the eternal conflict would’ve ended…with her winning and everyone else losing. I’m not sure why there are so many Lilith supporters, Guulrahn made it pretty clear she doesn’t care about humans and is just using them as a tool for her own power.

Everyone was already constantly losing against the Prime Evils anyways. I think she does care somewhat about humanity in general or at least striving for what she thinks an elevated humanity might be, but she isn’t against doing whatever is necessary to achieve her goals. Her ends definitely did not justify the means. Still I think, given a choice, siding with Lilith still would have been better than what ended up getting in the end, which was

Neyrelle disappearing and doing god knows what with Mephisto. She’s probably already being slowly corrupted.

All I am saying is that at least Lilith was hinting at a different path for humanity, whereas Mephisto has always just been straight up evil. Like…given those choices, who would you rather pick?

Man…Lemmy really needs inline spoilers.

Now imagine Mephisto outside of the soulstone but with another major demon’s power on top of his.

That’s what Lilith would have been after consuming him. The Neyrelle dumb decision is a separate issue.

Uhh, I thought the point was both Inarius and Lilith didn’t care one bit about humans except for as a tool

I’d agree that was the overall point but the choice isn’t between Inarius and Lilith, we can choose neither because they’re both awful.

She actually had made clear the opposite; she wanted the humans to regain their strength, back to the levels of the original Nephalem, that both heaven and hell feared.

Multiple times she references how so much was stolen from her children and how she would return them back to their power.

It was Inarius that gave up on the humans and regretted making them; using them only as a tool to get what he wanted: a way back into heaven.

Oh Inarius was definitely just using humans.

But I don’t really trust a word that Lilith says. I think she’s manipulative as a core trait of her character which was really well written just from how many players she has convinced.

She’s kind of a murderous demon monster though. Lilith in charge of sanctuary does not seem better than demons occasionally trying to invade sanctuary.
