    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.

      I was saying this to my friend not too long ago. If we want to reach we can say Neyrelle might be tough because there is no world stone.

      @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.

    One of the main reasons Leoric went fully mad was because Diablo attempted to possess him but failed.

    • @loatheburger

      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

  • @rossato2109
    @rossato2109 7 днів тому +8

    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.

  • @Rakshiir
    @Rakshiir 4 дні тому +13

    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.

    @SonySteals 10 днів тому +20

    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.

    • @loatheburger
      @loatheburger  10 днів тому +2

      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

    • @dragula131
      @dragula131 9 днів тому +2

      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

    • @moseslalmuanpuia8988
      @moseslalmuanpuia8988 День тому

      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.

    • @MalzraAirwynn
      @MalzraAirwynn День тому +1

      @@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.

    • @dragula131
      @dragula131 День тому

      ​@@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

    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.

    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.

    • @loatheburger
      @loatheburger  10 годин тому +1

      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

  • @moseslalmuanpuia8988
    @moseslalmuanpuia8988 День тому
