I was so very sick and tired of Blizzard’s “corruption” cliches and waifu characters getting “corrupted” but redeemed through some Dudebro McManPain wanting to fuck them (again) real, real bad and yet the dogmatists cheering on Wish Dot Com Cthulu cliches on top of that were part of what permanently drove me off from WoW and Blizzard games in general. The “Epic” storytelling wasn’t.
Baseline warcraft stories were almost good, like if I squinted I could pretend they were doing a big and at times subtle plotline about stuff like imperialism and indigenous displacement/resistance but those days are long gone even if I was giving too much credit
This is a side question, but when I peeked at recent Diablo games (“do you guys not have phones?!” mobile grifting aside), I noticed yet another fucking corrupted feeeemale villain on the cover. Yeah yeah “Lilith” and all that, but probably just Kerrigan/Sylvannas. Again. Right?
I haven’t played d4 since release but I’ll be honest the story actually wasn’t their worst and did not fall into that trap, you just fight Lilith at the end. Iirc she was just Mister Diablo’s daughter.
There could have been potential if the Blizzard hacks bothered to anything with the pre-Old Testament Lilith character, but that might take some writing ability.
When Blizzard’s “rock stars” decided to unravel their setting’s own complexity to have “Alliance good actually” and “Horde evil now actually” and then put Sylvanas in charge of it for extra Chaotic Stupid with generic “corrupted” waifu characteristics, I was done.
