Diablo 4 is ostensibly about this heavenly war, but the human tragedies that play out on the side are what stood out for me, often with greater impact than the main narrative itself. Take the first act, for example. Roughly halfway through, you team up with a woman whose mother gives herself to  Diablo 4 Gold darkness in the pursuit of knowledge. That’s dark, but it plays out in a slightly melodramatic fashion that makes it difficult to feel too attached to the characters or situation – unless you explored some of the world around Kyovashad before entering Lilith’s temple.

Diablo 4’s sanctuary is a broken, twisted mess, and it isn’t the demons or forces of darkness who made it that way. Understanding why things are the way they are is an important part of understanding the main story and a key later choice, and I’d have liked to see these explorations into the politics and society of Sanctuary take a broader role in the main campaign instead of being relegated to the side.

As for the protagonist themselves, I’m a bit mixed. Blizzard touted Diablo 4 as the first time you can really see your player character in cutscenes, with all their quirks, costumes, and customizations intact. While it does establish a stronger connection, the protagonist remains a bit bland and uninteresting. It’s a good step in the right direction, but if Blizzard wants a stronger role for the player character, then that character should actually have a role to Diablo 4 Gold for sale  play in the world, something that changes the fates of those they meet or has some kind of lasting effect.
