This is honestly a huge thing missing from most of D3 & D4. Good prevails in the end, but evil always survives. The fact that the original protagonist trio suffered fates worse than death just by coming into contact with a Greater Evil is *insanely bleak* and sets the tone of the game's setting brilliantly. All the while not completely overpowering the human capacity to strive and survive amidst so much darkness that's at the centre of the story, the potential to stare into the abyss and not immediately go insane is a uniquely human trait. Hell, the Wanderer fought a losing battle and resisted Diablo's influence up until there literally was no trace of humanity left in him.
It's a tragic story, but it's a good one. The Wanderer is the best example. He had the hardest part carrying around Diablo inside of him and getting broken down over time. But he resisted as much as he could. That's a bleak story but one that highlights human will and heart.
I mean they had something in D3 and just abandoned it. The Nephilim pretty much gained complete power. They could've been the next boss for D4 or been their as a completely new evil as a actual demon/angle hybrid. but instead we got lilith which is a missed opportunity in itself.
Except in diablo 1 the end is the same for all 3 characters. I don't know how this guy came up with all this bs for the game. Diablo 1 ending after the fall of diablo they take the soul stone and shove it in there own skull to take the power n hold it at bay but they all fail and turned evil.
@@dusttodust915 well, there are cinematics for the other two doing it when you beat Diablo with them. The canon ending is Aiden doing it, but the other two canonically did fight alongside him, leading to all of their fates.
All the mighty Diablo heroes fall to darkness just being in the mere presence of Hell and the Prime Evils. Neyrelle travels across the entire world with her buddy Mephisto, has a few nightmares, and is totally fine afterwards.
@SamJulesGillians maybe but lore states that the nephalem got weaker over time due to the world stone. 20 years after its destruction doesn't seem like enough time for the blood lines of the average person to get so powerful, they can shrug off the Lord of hates influence.
I liked how Diablo II aproached the story of the rogue and the mage but the warrior retcon on Diablo III was BS. The whole point of the king going mad is because his only heir was taken.
If you consider how most Heroes from the earlier games had a pretty dark fate after their heroic deeds, the influence of Mephisto in D4 seems more like a small inconvenience. Or they want to tell us that Neyrelle is actually stronger then every single one of those characters that canonically defeated one or more prime evils and several strong demon commanders. This is just my personal opinion but... I really dislike that. I also dislike the writers having such a love for characters who lose an arm and still are just as good (or better) compared to most people. Those things simply don`t make much sense to me in terms of realism and (in case of the corruption) lore.
While she is a bit of a Mary Sue, unlike the others, she was fully aware of Mephisto’s influence and was actively fighting it. Also mephisto wasn’t nearly at full strength which is why Lilith was after him.
Errr, mephisto is not in full power on D4 not because Neyrelle is stronger. Remember after the event of D3, all the prime evil was consider lost and went back to the hibernation period. That's why we never see mephisto full body on D4. Whenever prime/lesser evil got killed, they will come back to hell to building up their power from zero again.
@@Delmania01that goes the same with the prince and diablo in Diablo 1, but Diablo still got a good grasp of the prince. D4 story has become so stupid and tame. It suck so bad. I can relate more to the sufferings of the dark wanderer. The inevitability, the certainty of the looming darkness. Its so stupid that a mere mortal flesh can suppress a prime evil. Anything that defends the bad writing at this point is just an apologist.
Correct! I went into the full lore of what happened to Tristram directly leading up to the events of Diablo 1 here: ua-cam.com/video/ljQQKVAj0x4/v-deo.html I didnt want to go too much into the story of Leoric and Lazarus in this video because of how much detail there is - doubling its runtime :P
I never liked retconing Warrior as Aiden because it feels like a stretch. Other two work great because nobody fiddled with their past making them unnecessarily important lore-wise. Aiden fighting his skeletal (?) father and Lazarus in d1 without any commentary blows the illusion away. You just feel it’s uncomfortably fake. Blizz should have made him an ex-footman in king’s army or prince’s childhood friend etc. Turning him into a son and a brother makes this story too personal to pretend it’s holding up.
I felt that too with both Aiden and Adria. Replaying it recently the lack of commentary takes you out of it. But Diablo 1 had crosses and symbols from Christianity so not all retcons are bad I suppose
I think it actually makes really good sense lore wise. The returning Prince coming to slay the enemy that abducts his brother and attempted to possess his father which drove him insane while he was gone and had possessed his father's closest advisor. Who wouldn't be coming for revenge on that. That makes more sense than the rogue and mage together
Well at least it took them a long time to do so. In diablo 2 it still didn't really retcon anything. It only mentioned diablo possessed the hero of the first game. It was only in diablo 3 that they went wild with the retcon. That game was when the franchise started to lose it's identity anyway.
@@dragula131 It's not that the story doesn't make sense in a vacuum. It's that if you play Diablo 1 none of this is commented upon and it feels weird. Where as the added backstory for the other two is general enough it still fits with Diablo 1. It also kind of gives the warrior 'main character syndrome' over the other playable characters with this personal backstory while the other two just sort of show up for less personal reasons.
@@MalzraAirwynn I do get that, I'm not saying it was the right call by Blizzard but I'm sure back then when the first one came out they didn't expect it to be the hit, then people started wondering things when the second one was released and then they just said screw it by 3. Which is when it kinda started losing the luster imo. Still played it but damned if 2 and LoD wasn't so much better than 3 and 4 together
i dont know if the lore was changed...but if the main character is the son of King Leoric, he wouldnt say the line "Rest well Leoric, ill find your son"...on fact the wounded guys monologue was "The Archbishop Lazarus, he led s down here to finbd the lost prince"...therefore there was Leorics son there, the warriors doesnt react to any of it
Damn man, the video just started and I already misheard you 🤦🤦😂. I thought you said "The rogue, the *lawyer* and the sorcerer" and I was like "daaamn, they're actually going to evict diablo out of his dungeon? This guys are hardcore!"

For all the criticism Leah faced, the setting was consistent in its bleakness by making her suffer the same fate as her father. I felt very motivated to get revenge on Adria.
There's more to the story about Blood Raven, according to the developers. Basically, she brought back a ton of artifacts, and while Akara agreed that they were to be used/would be useful for the Sisters, she also believed in studying and understanding them first before putting them into general use. Moreina, spurred on by what she'd seen in Tristram, disagreed and believed the Sisters didn't have the time, since they were woefully underprepared for Hell. This caused a minor scism in the Sisters between those who took Moreina's side and Akara's, but there were no open conflicts at the time; just very vocal disagreements. Eventually though, Akara's fears were pretty much true, and Moreina's corruption basically started from the stuff she brought back. Andariel corrupted her and the others through the artifacts, and rest is history. Edit: It's also unclear whether the Summoner was Jazreth adopting the moniker of Horazon or if Horazon's spirit itself took over Jazreth's body.
Thanks for the context on Blood Raven! Good to know Regarding Jazreth, I want to believe it's the former as according to the Horadric Vault books (cant remember which one specifically), Horazon was more or less a good guy and lead the battle against his brother to stop using demons in battle

Is that how resurrected looks? does it have any improvement (I never installed it, because it doesn't have local network support, but might consider it as solo play if it has some extras)
Yes! That's Diablo 2 Resurrected and it arguably looks as good if not better than Diablo 4. The coolest thing is you can press a button to swap to the old game's graphics too - the difference is crazy
@@loatheburger Wow, tbh I don´t know how Diablo 4 looks like. I saw some still images of 3 and thought it looked a bit "cartoony". Plus you needed a permanent internet connection or something, so I skipped all the next ones. I still think that the original Diablo 2 looks pretty cool. I never went into resurrection because I wasn´t sure that'll work on Linux, and because it has no local network support, but I think it looks nice. Glad I know now!
I mean sure they needed to do it to set up the story for later games, but if you really think about it, it's just incredulous. Leave aside the fuckery of putting a malevolent demon inside yourself, what could possibly make someone who wasn't suicidal (presumably) to shove a half foot long jagged crystal spike into their own skull?
I hate the Adria story line. The woman was old witch and did nothing but help you fight Diablo in the first game, then suddenly in Diablo 3 she apparently has been diablos minion the whole time and apparently young enough to bear children. Bullshit. Blizzard wrote themselves into a corner and couldn't figure a way out it, so they had to throw her character under the bus and retcon it so that Diablo 3's storyline would work. D3 was so badly written, it literally made me quit the series. Never played the D3 expansion or D4 and probably never will.
Good lord, that audio hurts. I don't know if it is the recording software, the editing, the wiring, the microphone, or what.... but damn. It actually hurts listening when you are talking.
Thing is I know the knight became diablos vessel and you basically ended up chasing his ass in Diablo2. Pretty sure the archer is bloodraven you ended up killing in chap1 in diablo2. The wiz I have no damn clue what happened to him.
So let me get this straight, Diablo mate with Adria for his future plans of a new vessel like that far fetching planning or it just canon, terrifying 😅
Jeff Nippard already made a video about bicep curls and Binging with Babish already made a scrambled egg video too, yet shockingly their are other fitness/cooking influencers
Diablo 1 all three characters ends are the same. They think they can control the power with the soul stone. Shove it in the skull and they turn. I dunno how he came up with all this other bs😂
Lame. How about you do something for Diablo 4? People paid for that game and the events are pure trash. Devs are lazy as hell. How about hiring people that care about the game? Not just greedy people. Diablo immortal should be destroyed.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -- John 3:16 KJV
Your sing song style of narration is off putting. I think you are trying too hard resulting in this unnatural sounding cadence and intonation. I gave up watching the video half way through. Sorry.
Who gives a fuck? It's the same story in every single game. Big bad dies, some mortal releases a new big bad curse, rinse and repeat. It's boring as hell.
Rogue > Bloodraven in act 1
Aidan > Diablo in act 4
Mage > The summoner in act 2

What i find inconsistent is IF Aiden was King Leoric's son, then why when the warrior kills the skeleton king, he says "Rest well Leoric, I'll find your son", He should instead say "Rest well, father, I'll find Albrecht (or Alby or whatever childhood nickname he had for his brother)".

You are 100% correct about the inconsistency. It's due to the fact that Aidan was retconned as the warrior and Leoric's son during Diablo 3

@@loatheburger Others seem fine, perhaps it is something in the background audio. Whatever it is, it is like, a step away from nails on chalkboard.
I love this series. It’s like having a big daddy bear telling a bedtime story.
Diablo 3 was a semi-reimagining of D1 and D2, so it's really is a separate game and whatever lore it has is not canon to what happened in D1 and D2.
Yup - Aidan as the warrior is a retcon. However, I'd be remiss not to use that fact as he has been in the lore since D3's release 12 years ago
The real tragedy is Blizzard stealing the IP from Blizzard North.
Thing is I know the knight became diablos vessel and you basically ended up chasing his ass in Diablo2. Pretty sure the archer is bloodraven you ended up killing in chap1 in diablo2. The wiz I have no damn clue what happened to him.
Was the audio really bad for anyone else? I couldn't even watch the video.
So let me get this straight, Diablo mate with Adria for his future plans of a new vessel like that far fetching planning or it just canon, terrifying 😅
I heard they got regular jobs with PTO and pension.
The Dark Wanderer did promise new jobs
Now tell us what happened with heroes from D2 please.
Coming up boss
But what happened to Diablo 1's Bard ?
Realease the puppy !!!!
Man... remember when Diablo was awesome?
D1 and D2 has the best story, the story gets progressive worse with each new installment
The tragic fate of being subjected to hack writers.
Your arms puzzle me.
Leave my arm fat alone 🥹
Yeah dont hate on Hellfire. It wasnt space aliens it was insects and demons.
what happened to D2 heroes after defeating the 3 prime?
that's the topic of an upcoming video
wait what, what did he mean there were aliens in the hellfire mod?
Dark Lore Dash already made a video about this….
Jeff Nippard already made a video about bicep curls and Binging with Babish already made a scrambled egg video too, yet shockingly their are other fitness/cooking influencers
I never got this deep about the lore in Diablo
Welcome to the rabbit hole
TLDR; Blood raven. Horazon, Diablo.
The mage wasnt horazon.
Free the floofer.
the diablo franchise ends with diablo 2 LOD ;/
Why is the dog caged???
Crate Trained - he was being mean to his younger brother and needed a timeout to chill
Americans are weird
what a cute bear.
Torchlight has similar story from diablo 1 and 2
Diablo 1 all three characters ends are the same. They think they can control the power with the soul stone. Shove it in the skull and they turn. I dunno how he came up with all this other bs😂
free the doggo
If i didnt see you talk I woulda thought this was voiced by A.I.
thanks?
@loatheburger the sound felt like it was skipping a frame or something so it sounded slightly robotic
why the dog in the cage?
Why is the dog in a cage?
He’s in timeout because he was fighting with his younger brother
Lame. How about you do something for Diablo 4? People paid for that game and the events are pure trash. Devs are lazy as hell. How about hiring people that care about the game? Not just greedy people. Diablo immortal should be destroyed.
only the hero from Diablo 3 had a good ending.
Supposedly - we just don’t know what happened after. We know the female Paladin is probably dead
@ uh they had the power to defeat angles and devils. The demons in D4 didnt act up until after their deaths.
Downvoted because locked up dog. Why?
No like cause your doggie is in a cage.
he was naughty and was bullying the puppy
Diablo 1 and 2, Warcraft 2 and 3, and all of StarCraft are peak Blizzard.
The rest are trash. Fight me.
I’m with you, although I’d add vanilla WoW to that list. Overwatch was great at release too, although im not really into pvp only games
Doggies doing time. Naughty puppies
is that a spitz?
Samoyed specifically
Recorded in a fish tank?
new office - I need to decorate
The mispronunciations are jarring. I mean did you even play through the game?
Why the dog in a cage? Poor dog.
I have 2 and they sometimes get into it with each other. They regulate and calm down in the crate which is why I need to use it
Couldn't enjoy the video because you caged a dog instead of cared for it
never heard of crate training?

Your sing song style of narration is off putting. I think you are trying too hard resulting in this unnatural sounding cadence and intonation. I gave up watching the video half way through. Sorry.
Naurrr DISAGREE. Tuned in cause the narration isn’t another nerd w/a flat tone talking
Who gives a fuck? It's the same story in every single game. Big bad dies, some mortal releases a new big bad curse, rinse and repeat. It's boring as hell.
If you are home let the dang dog out!
I have 2 and when they get heated they need to be separated to cool down - the crate helps
